Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard 3 - UFC 136

Another trilogy all combat sports fans should watch thru if they have not done so yet. The two title fights between Maynard and Edgar don't really get talked about much nowadays but they were two classic lightweight title fights. I also think it was the end of an era for the division. We suddenly got an influx of talent in guys like Benson Henderson, Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis, and Gilbert Melendez, who came in from other promotions and took up the spotlight at 155lbs afterwards.

Also, this was the last UFC that happened before I started this blog.

Fighters talking openly about not getting paid is my jam. Keep being vocal. Keep throwing them numbers out there.

Nik Lentz stops Gray Maynard in the 2nd round

But Maynard landed a hard punch after getting 100 shades of crap beat out of him in the 1st round, so another 5 years of fighting for Gray.

Then lentz hits us with the worst shout out in the history of post fight shout outs.

Gray Maynard vs Teruto Ishihara kicking off TUF 25 Finale

Stann mentioned that Maynard spent a significant amount of his camp at the new UFC performance center. Didn’t help Josh Stansbury a couple weeks ago but we’ll see. Wish we had a way to keep track of how the people training there are doing.
