He starts too slow imo. The first 2 rounds in the Benson and Aldo fights, he gave them away cheaply. He needs to start at least a round earlier and keep the pressure on

I personally scored it for Frankie. I felt Aldo VERY clearly won the first two, Frankie CLEARLY won the last two and the third round was close but I thought Frankie dictated the pace, threw more, landed more. Aldo landed that one kick which caught Frankie but didn't stop him at all, he landed a leg kick, one punch beside the guard of frankie and 1 counter in that round and he didn't really throw much outside of that either. Frankie threw and landed way more in that round. If it was PRIDE rules then yeah, Aldo won that because it focused more on damage but according to the UFC rules I would have given it to Frankie.
I saw the second Frankie v Bendo fight as a more clearer victory for Frankie though. Its a shame because noobs in the future are going to look at Frankies record in the future and it won't be indicative of his actual ability. In my eyes I see him as a 17-2-1 two weight UFC champion rather than a 15-4-1 ex-155 champ.

I'm pretty mad that Frankie keeps getting the shorter end of the stick in these decisions. With that said, he has no one but himself to blame. He starts too slow and Idk why cause he got the stamina, movements and boxing/skills to dominate. He needs to tweak his style and be more aggressive without getting too reckless.

'Gracie' rules, Aldo still beats the **** out of Edgar, imo.
Btw, doesn't 'Gracie' rules also mean no weight limits? So no weight cutting?

Yeah, I could see that, no weight limit. Although, he probably means weight classes, but an unlimited number of rounds, like Royce vs. Sakuraba 1 in Pride.

Although, the fight in Pride was without weight limits.
Also, kicks to the ground would change the dynamics.
I think he does mean no rounds though.
Also, Gracie rules are Gracie rules, so no weight limits either.
