Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard

Mark Bader 1 year ago

With Frankie Edgar taking out BJ Penn once again, and Gray Maynard getting past Kenny Florian it looks like we are set for a showdown between Edgar and Maynard for the UFC lightweight title.  Maynard is the sole loss on the champion Edgar's record dating back to a fight between the two at Ultimate Fight Night 13 over 2 years ago which he won by unanimous decision.

This next fight could be different as I could see Frankie giving him more trouble than he did last time.  But Gray Maynard is still a force in the lightweight division and nobody has had an Answer for his style, let's see if Edgar can do it.  This fight between 2 D1 wrestlers will be an interesting one, Gray is known for using his superior wrestling to grind out victories while Frankie used a good deal of stand up in both of his victories against BJ with a few takedowns mixed in there.

What are your thoughts on this match up?  Will Gray be able to impose his will on the champion and grind out a victory to earn the belt, or will Edgar be able to come up with a game plan tailored to shut down his opponent's strength like he did with BJ?  Let us know what your thoughts and predictions are for this fight.

I have Edgar in the rematch...Frankie has improved very much since their first fight two and a half years ago, while I have not seen Gray improve or add much to his skill set over that time.

Should be an interesting battle between two wrestlers. I am just curious how, if they cancel each others' wrestling out, what skill ends up being the deciding factor.

The fact that they are the two top guys shows that wrestlers are at least, always competitive if they are not at the top.

Gray is going to try and make it the most boring fight, luckily Edgar is a wrestler and Gray won't be able to just take him down and lay on him like he does against everybody else

Gray is going to win again and become the champ, it will happen.
