Omar Henry Calls Frankie Edgar Out to Boxing Match.

Omar has got to be the dumbest McDojoist I've ever seen. Seriously, this sounds like Maoshan tying to challenge Nick Thompson.

Most mma fans would have expected Jones to tool Silva back when they were talking about this fight, even in Jones advanced age. But I do think that a lot of fans would have been intrigued just to see how Silva stacked up - and I don't think that there's anything wrong with a guy wanting to do that. Why do we as fans discourage guys from just giving it a shot (at least if the guy has some legit, world class skills to bring to the table) KJ Noons - I would love to see him have his ass handed to him by PBF. But it'll never happen because Noons is a nobody and rightly PBF will ignore him because he won't even know who the fvck Noons is. Hell...most casual mma fans wouldn't even know who Noons is Exactly, and it's sad. But boxing fans who follow the sport, or hardcore MMA fans know exactly who the guy is.. and commend him for primarily taking boxing into the cage and having the success he's having. I think it just has to do with the sports Orgs though. These type of fights are very hard to get sanctioned in boxing but in MMA, it's not about sanctioning really, it's more so about what promotion is willing to put on a "show". Randy/James would never be sanctioned in the states under boxing rules, for example.

Agreed. Noons isn't a top-flight boxer though. I don't know...maybe Edgar might have decent boxing skills. But the point is you have a pro boxer calling out a guy who isn't a pro boxer to come into his arena. That would be like Edgar calling out Omar to have a wrestling match. It wouldn't be close either. At least if they met in mma both fighters can exercise their strongest skillsets without limitation (while exercising any other skillsets they might have picked up along the way) I think it has a lot to do with the MMA vs boxing thing ,honestly. and now that the toney fight is done, I expect more of it to happen. I mean.. Silva/Jones was heard about for EVER because Silva wanted it, and things like that. KJ Noons the other night just called out PBF in a boxing match as well.. i'd expect a lot of this to happen in the next year or 2.

Frankie Edger is not a boxer why are we even discussing this. Seriously out of all the styles represented in the UFC Boxers are the only one who cry bbiittcchh and mone when one of their fighters gets beat.

Why would Frankie Edgar even contemplate this? His core strength is in wrestling. Why doesn't Henry go and call out some ADCC fighters, or some karate fighters to do the same thing? (where's the facepalm icon when you need it?) He's already beaten KJ Noons ass.

LOL Henry is like 3 weight classes ahead if him. And the funny thing is, a guy like Frankie Edgar would actually do pretty good in boxing. His style is very suitable for the boxing ring. But again, they're two different sizes so it couldn't happen. Just figure i let you know.. omar fights at 154 frankie fights at 155

Kermit Cintron started right before his 20th Birthday

Theres 14 year olds at your local boxing gyms that would **** on this MMA wrestler in a boxing match. He;s not a boxer. He don't hit hard, and he doesn't know how to get hit and survive. Boxing isn't something you can take on seriously past 20 years old. By then it's too late. Sergio Martinez began boxing when he was 20.

why not do a MMA fight where both can bring their best game. oh, thats right. because edgars wrestling will take him down and beat the **** out of him Why doesn;t edgar fight the best 155 pound boxer he will get knocked out in 1 punch

hahaha a former heavy weight champ did... Who? You need to start as young as possible with boxing.

They both weight the same bro . . . . 155 area

Taken from Chicago Boxing News. War Henry!!!!!! Translated: I'll fight Edgar but only in a way that I feel utterly assured of victory.

LOL Henry is like 3 weight classes ahead if him. And the funny thing is, a guy like Frankie Edgar would actually do pretty good in boxing. His style is very suitable for the boxing ring. But again, they're two different sizes so it couldn't happen. You do realise that UFC weight classes are a lot different than boxing? Lightweight in UFC is 146 to 155 lb

But again, they're two different sizes so it couldn't happen. Omar Henry and Frankie Edgar both weigh 154. Omar Henry should focus on boxing, if he stays focused he mayhave a bright future.

Boxers and MMA fighters should stop calling each other out to compete in their sport. We all already know what's going to happen. Why don't they compete in something neither athlete is a professional in. They should compete in like figure skating, that way it's fair game.

Let's not be so hasty. I'm a fan of both sports and I can tell you that his movement is greatly amplified by the sheer size and dimensions of the cage. I honestly think that he would get cut off pretty easily in the ring. The cage size coupled with many mixed martial artists' poor boxing technique makes edgar's style look better than it actually is. Don't get me wrong, his movement is awesome, but you have to look at it purely in an MMA context. Yes I understand that. Omar Henry would surely make Edgar's style useless inside a boxing ring. Simply because since a boxing ring is much smaller, it's easier to cut your opponent off..
