i think that they are different, Franca's BJJ and Edgar's wrestling, the ground is what tired Fisher out in the Franca fight and Edgar's gonna do the same

Well IMO there was only one meaningfull strike that landed all fight, and that was a flying knee by Thiao. On the ground Thiago mounted 3 or 4 times and got Tysons back 2 or 3 times. He also put Tyson in constant submission attepts (armbars, omoplatas etc) He also got just as many takedowns as Tyson if you count, he went for the Judo throw every time they were in the clinch and got it once or twice. The only thing I saw Tyson do in that fight was Push the pace and escape all of Thiago's sub attempts

who does everyone think is going to win the fisher/edgar fight?

I was thinking about betting on Edgar just for the odds:
Edgar +210
Fisher -190

But I think it will be a close fight.
