UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III


Recommended Posts

Hopefully Guillard's loss to Lauzon will put an end to the ridiculous hype he has been getting. It was starting to get out of control.

 

Sonnen with some WWE-esque shit right there. Calling out Silva and saying if he beats Anderson he has to leave the MW division and if Silva beats him he will leave the UFC forever. So corny! :lol:

It lags a bit, but it is the only decent one I could find that was in English.

 

EDIT: A couple of the other links (Link 2, 3, etc...) work pretty well, but they aren't in English.

Fight has been identical to their 2nd one. Frankie gets absolutely rocked in the 1st, nearly finished numerous times only to survive. Then he comes out and wins the next round as Maynard is too tired from trying to finish the fight in the 1st to actually do anything.

 

Scary how they are literally identical.

Frankie Edgar is unreal. Guy has so much heart. To come back from that beating he took in the first round and then completely dominate the rest of the fight is just ridiculous, especially considering Maynard has such a huge size advantage over him. I don't think Maynard landed anything after the 1st round. Edgar's movement and takedown defense was phenomenal. Maynard just couldn't touch him.

 

That was a sick sequence that finished the fight, though. Stuff the takedown attempt and while transitioning, hitting Maynard with a huge uppercut to rock him, then landing a nice combination to really wobble him and finishing it with a huge right hook to finally drop him. The punches on the ground were just the icing on the cake as Maynard was clearly out already.

 

I admit in thinking that Edgar was a bit of a flash in the pan after the first Penn fight, still didn't really believe in him after the 2nd one and finally started to come around to him after his performance in Edgar/Maynard 2, but I can comfortably say that after tonight Frankie Edgar is for real and he definitely has a new fan. You just can't help but be a fan of a guy like that.

Completely agree, it seemed like Maynard after the first started to have flashbacks of how the last one ended and it really took him off as the aggressor. Once Maynard stopped being aggressor it really became Edgars match and it was only a matter of time until Edgar got a couple good punches in to drop Maynard. Awesome fight.
