    I THINK THEY SHOULD PIT EDGAR AGAINST SHERK, but i think sherk would destroy him…

    Yeah Sherk would eat Edgar, if Edgar had trouble with Gray’s wrestling… Sherk would be all over Edgar the entire time.

    At least Sherk wouldn’t have a height advantage, lol. Maynard looked huge compared to Edgar.

    Sherk says he wants to fight on this card in his home state and Edgar needs an opponent.

    I say let ‘em have at it!

    edgar is a midget and sherk looks like a fucking pint sized jay cutler

    What’s not to like about Edgar. He’s a classy guy who goes out and fights. I say his stand up beats sherk. And it would be a good ground fight
