5 Great MMA Photos at UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III from Esther Lin

Billed as one of the most stacked cards of 2011, all of the fighters came out and proved the promoters right. If you wanted grueling fights, you got that with Leonard Garcia vs. Nam Phan. If you wanted submissions, you got that with Joe Lauzon and Chael Sonnen. If you wanted charisma, you got that and then some with Sonnen’s post-fight interview. If you wanted to see what legends are made of, you got that with Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard. Another great card, and now a break until UFC 137.

Nice and steady track with a whole lot of gritty. Sounds like a Maynard track to me.

So after the draw (though I think Maynard won), what do you think is going to happen concerning the UFC/WEC merger for the lightweight division? Edgar vs. Maynard 2? Edgar vs. Pettis?

Edgar-Maynard 3. The most stacked division in MMA is the Lightweight Division, especially in the UFC. They’re all fighting for their jobs in the UFC.

Do you think Maynard deserves the rematch? He couldn't put Edgar away in the first round, in my opinion lost the 2nd 4th and 5th, and he couldn't even get a decisive win over the champ. Plus I'd rather see Pettis vs Edgar.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one. I really want to see Edgar-Maynard 3 more than a Edgar-Pettis fight. There’s unfinish business here and we need to know who’s the better fighter between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.

I personally have the rounds scored Maynard (10-8), Edgar (10-9), Maynard (10-9), Edgar (10-9), Edgar (10-9). Draw. Let’s run this one back!
