Tanner Boser, UFC heavyweight: Man that is a crazy fight. I’ve been a big fan of both guys for a long time. They are two of my favorite fighters, but I think Frankie gets it done.

Steven Peterson, UFC featherweight: I like this last-minute match change. Korean Zombie is tough and great on the ground. Frankie Edgar is quick to the punch and has great footwork. I see Frankie sticking and moving and scoring well-timed takedowns to win close rounds. Edgar by decision.
