UFC 136 Results: Frankie Edgar Stops Gray Maynard In Four

Screencap via cagewriter

Gray Maynard outwrestled Frankie Edgar the first time the met. The second bout saw Maynard dominate the first round with powerful strikes before a great comeback by Edgar in a bout that ended up a draw. At UFC 136 the two men met in a third fight with the winner walking away with the UFC lightweight championship.

The fight started off almost exactly like the first round of their previous meeting. Maynard landed some big punches that dropped Edgar and seemed to have him on the verge of being stopped multiple times. Maynard was unable to close the deal and Edgar managed to battle back over the next few rounds.

Edgar came back with speed and never really let Maynard get on track after the first round. Maynard couldn't ever really get his offense back on track as the fight wore on.

In the fourth round Edgar managed to land a series of right hands that rocked and eventually dropped Maynard. Edgar flurried with left hands on the ground and forced the stoppage.

Maynard appeared to be attempting to protest the stoppage but it was completely justified as he was badly hurt and not defending.

Frankie Edgar now holds the win he wanted over Gray Maynard and can move forward with his career.

I’m a big Maynard fan, and certainly didn’t want him to get knocked out, but fuck.. that was a helluva performance. Gotta give it to Frank

I don’t doubt his talent at all, especially considering how highly a lot of people on here rate him. That’s just the only fight I’ve seen.

Creepy

My bad. You get it though. I think it’s a good contender fight. Step up for everybody, and if everything goes to plan Gil wins an entertaining fight running into his title shot after Bendo/Guida (probably Bendo I think.)

by Neil Manich on Oct 9, 2011 1:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

That'd be a good fight

The only thing I don’t like about J-Lau is he’s a serious front runner, and doesn’t succeed often later in a fight. That’s gonna hurt him at the top of the division. But since most of the top contenders have fallen back (g-sot, miller, guillard) it’d be a good fight for next contender after Bendo/Guida. And I agree with you on that prediction.

But maynard constantly leading with wild uppercuts and overhand rights shows he has no iea what he’s doing out there on his feet. Maybe he got excited after hurting FE in the 1st, but man, that’s just piss poor boxing.

You can't have it both ways

It’s always strange to hear a fighter’s skillset criticized after a title fight. “Fighter B sucks”… ok, well what’s that make the champion then? A can crusher? He was facing the #1 lightweight in the world, and did so, over 65 minutes of fighting a majority of which was on the feet. Frankie got absolutely leveled TWICE in two fights by “piss poor boxing” and it took him 65 minutes and 3 fights to put him away.

You can’t have it both ways. Either Edgar is an incredible champion who beat a dangerous and worthy opponent, or he got hammered by a guy with shitty boxing who kept it competitive over 13 rounds and 65 minutes before finally putting him away.

Where does that leave Edgar? A guy who got the holy hell beat out of him in two different fights by a guy who “can’t box for shit?” Either Maynard is a worthy opponent on the feet and Edgar is an incredible champion, or it took him 3 fights and 65 minutes where he was badly battered and beaten to put away a guy who can’t box for shit.

Every fighter has their strengths. if Edgar wasn’t such a good wrestler he wouldn’t be champion, if he didn’t have killer cardio he wouldn’t, if he didn’t have a great mix of takedowns and strikes. He is a total package as a fighter. He has great wrestling, crisp striking and great movement. He is a slow starter though and it almost cost him the fight again.

That footwork made Maynard really have to chase Edgar from the second round onward. Maynard would try to counter, but Frankie just wasn’t there. I think that footwork and versatility in attacks just made it hard for Maynard to get a takedown and get any more flush strikes in.

Edgar might be my favorite champion. Everyone else seems like they are genetically superior to everyone else the in the division. Edgar is Rocky and wins from sheer willpower.

Maynard is a bad finisher

He’s really bad. And it continues to cost him. Edgar has lots of heart and guts but Maynard should’ve just taken his back and flattened him out.

Maynard and Pat Barry probably hang out and exchange hilarious ways to not finish off their clearly hurt opposition.

I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.

But Maynard is ridiculous. Actually now I thank him for being such a terrible finisher and giving us two epic fights. Remember when he used to be boring?

You do realize that Maynard is 10-1-1 right? “continues to cost him” seems a bit over the top. He has lost once in his entire career and that was to the UFC champ. Edgar is obviously very hard to finish, Maynard clocked him really hard repeatedly in both fights and Edgar just recovers fast. Some fighters have that gift.

You're right

It cost him again and will continue to cost him at the elite level.

The only time he’s won a fight through mostly boxing (from what I remember) is Jim Miller. Otherwise anyone faster and he has trouble.

But it makes me so mad guys let Edgar dictate the fight.

I think if people just go at him brawl him make it dirty Frankie will lose. But they keep doing the same damn think stand there let Edgar move in and out and point fight. Fortunatly tonight he finished thank god I didn’t wanna see another round of that. It annoyed me when gray wouldn’t do shit. His corner wouldn’t light a fire under his ass and give him any urgency. I think if gray made it dirty he wouldve won. I think he should of went for a sub round 1 when Edgar pulled a Leo.

He’s elusive as hell, Gray tried in the 3rd round to start swinging again and was catching nothing but air. If you get momentum on Frankie, you have to stay on him, Gray taking off that second round was a huge mistake and he payed for it dearly.

Frankie’s tough as nails though, can’t believe he wasn’t finished in the 1st, and Gray did everything he could in that round i feel, though he may have been smart to try and get a sub on Frankie towards the end of the 1st instead of going for more punches.

Even if one of them lost 3 times the UFC wouldn't cut 'em. It'd take 4 or 5 straight losses (and bad ones at that).

Melvin is 11-5 in the UFC and Gray is 8-1-1. Think both of them have quite a bit of leeway.

Who else do you give him?

155 is the true shark tank. There are a number of legitimate contenders. Maynard HAS to fight someone legit. There’s no reason to feed him someone at this point. Let’s see if he can hang with Melvin’s power or if he can smother Melvin with top control.

He was juiced out of his mind for that fight and still lost.

I’d say Anderson wins quite easily if Sonnen doesn’t get better BJJ defensive.

Yeah

My point is just that Chaels chin isn’t really under question given his record. I still think Andy takes him, especially without a broken rib. Like I said to Neil above, Andy just did not look right early in that fight.

Damn

that Squirtle is getting it in. I can only imagine that they’re going to hit the town hard later looking for other Squirtles who are DTF.

I don’t know what’s sadder, that I got the Jersey Shore reference or that I got the Pokemon reference.

what a trilogy. After a dull first fight, who could imagine how the last two would deliver…

No shit

Who would have guessed last december that Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar would be in two of the best fights of 2011?
