Had Penn listened to his corner between rounds 2 and 3 and tried to take Edgar down, I think he could have easily won the fight. Standing and boxing was a poor choice on his part.

I saw the fight as a draw on the whole, but round by round I guess you would have to give Edgar 3 of them. However for one of the judges to have scored it 50-45 is laugh-out-loud foolish. Penn clearly landed more strikes in the first and possibly second rounds. I'm a huge Penn fan but you are correct, he didn't correctly adjust his gameplan.
Have you guys seen the lines for the Strikeforce event? Mayhem Miller's at -2000. Two THOUSAND!
