BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Pedro Munhoz vs. Frankie Edgar:

Jim Miller, UFC lightweight: That is a tough fight but I am a Frankie Edgar fan. He is a great dude, I’ve fought him, trained with him for a while. So, I’m pulling for Frankie and I think bantamweight is good for him.

Tim Johnson, Bellator heavyweight: I love Frankie Edgar and I think bantamweight is where he belongs and will pull off the upset.

Alonzo Menifield, UFC light heavyweight: I’m a fan of Frankie Edgar so I am pulling for him in that one.

Giga Chikadze, UFC featherweight: They are both my friends. Frankie Edgar and I are managed by Ali and I used to train with Pedro. So, I have a relationship with both and see a path to victory for both men but I honestly don’t know who wins.

Zak Cummings, UFC middleweight: I think Munhoz gets it done. It hurts me to go against Frankie and I feel like people have been getting the better of him lately.

John Salter, Bellator middleweight: Frankie Edgar moving down to 135 should be interesting. He will finally have a reach advantage and I think he will do good at 135. So, I’ll pick Frankie.

Mike Rodriguez, UFC light heavyweight: I have to go with Frankie. I think bantamweight is his division and he will use his cardio and wrestling to win.

Parker Porter, UFC heavyweight: I love Frankie, I think he is an exciting fight. Munhoz is a great wrestler and showed off his power against Garbrandt. It’s such a close fight but if I had to pick one, I’ll say Frankie.

Andrew Kapel, Bellator middleweight: That is a great matchup. Frankie is in the sunset of his career and Pedro is a sleeper. It is a tough fight, but I actually think Frankie can survive the first round or two and grind out a decision using his wrestling.
