Gray Maynard thinks Aldo is one of the most complete fighters he ever worked with, and Chad Mendes is not ready
“I’ve talked to him backstage at the UFC’s and [the UFC 136] press conference in Houston. [He] really seemed like a humble, nice guy. So, I wanted to reach out to him to help… I knew he was good, but I had no idea he was as good as he is in every area. Really unbelievable, especially his takedown defense. That goes for all of Aldo's home gym also. He’s really one of the most, if not the most complete fighter I’ve ever worked with. I think Mendes is a tough kid, but I think it’s too early for him to fight Jose Aldo.”
Maynard looking for a rematch against Edgar
“Hopefully he holds on to the belt, because there’s got to be a part four, I think, to make it a true trilogy. Now he has one and I do two, so that’s a draw. So, we gotta do it again. Hopefully, he holds on the belt and I can work back up there.”
Edgar shines!
What a great title defense from Frankie Edgar! The first round was pretty much the same of the last fight. Maynard caught&tagged him with punches. This time we really thought Edgar was going down. He came out the strongest and survived those hell blessed strikes. I think that was the break point of the game as Maynard seemed slowing down in the next rounds. Edgar's footwork and speed put Maynard unable to deliver his shots as expected. In the fourth round Frankie caught Maynard with a huge hook to the chin made him out for a while giving the enough time for Edgar to finish the fight with a beautiful TKO. Edgar showed he has the true heart and incredible will power by coming back from another bad first round and winning the fight with a huge victory. Well deserved champion.
Edgar vs. Maynard
After their draw @ UFC 125 Resolution the two very successful fighters will be battling once again for the lightweight championship. Frankie Edgar (13–1–1) has his only loss against Maynard(10–0–1). The last title fight Edgard was knocked down and hurt really bad by Maynard in the first round. We still remember his eyes rolling back. Everyone were shocked with the comeback of Frankie. He came back from sleep and showed his heart by not getting KO'ed in the first round. In the second round he hurt Maynard badly. It was a great fight to watch. Both these men are very very well-conditioned and has incredible cardio. The have great striking skills and really fast. Maynard seems to have physical advantage over Frankie, but you never know. So the "Bully" Maynard or "The Answer" Edgar? We'll have to wait another day !
