Re: UFC 125

I like Maynard to beat Edgar....thoughts? I think Maynard will be able to do exactly what he did in his first fight. Edgar may have improved since then, but in his fights since then he has been taken down in every one except Franca/Penn 1. Maynard will be able to control/stay on top unlike BJ, Veach, and Sherk imo.

^^^ I'm not betting against Edgar. That's all I'll say. In fact, I already have 1u on him.

Re: UFC 125

I think Maynard takes it. I don't see what has changed since they fought last time. Edgar's hands may be improved. Maynard's hands have improved. Maynard hasn't lost since then either (or ever) so I don't know why he wouldn't be favored again.

Re: UFC 125

5 round fight is to Edgar's advantage I'd think.

Re: UFC 125

^True, but he still has to win 3 of them. He lost every round last time, and they weren't close.

Re: UFC 125

I think Edgar's wrestling has looked better in his last few fights.

Is Maynard that much better of a wrestler than Sherk? I know Sherk didn't go for a lot of takedowns, but he went for a few and got told to fuck off every time.

Re: UFC 125

Wrestling credential-wise, Maynard is better than Sherk. Maynard has taken one every down that he wanted to, but Edgar is the only other D1 wrestler he has faced... Gray gets to decide whether he wants to go down or not, which I have to think is a big advanatge in the fight. He may stand with him for a while... Edgar has not really hurt anyone standing that I can recall.

Nigga hurt my wallet standing 10 rounds with BJ.

He rocked Veach, which lead to the choke.

Re: UFC 125

Does the stance you have to be in to avoid takedowns affect your punching power? I would think it does. The reason I mention it is because Frankie is going to have to be avoiding the better wrestler the whole night. He doesn't normally punch with much power so he should be punching with even less for this fight because(compared to BJ) he has to be real wary of the takedown. Maynard seems to have some decent power standing as well. Not a huge amount though.

I'm not saying that Edgar doesn't have a path to V. He can move around quickly, he might be able to steal some rounds by being more active. If Gray can't take him down I don't see him landing more strikes, so if Gray can't take him down I don't see how Gray can win.

Also, Edgar has been in two 5 round title fights and dealt with the pressure. He might be a better Frankie because of that. This one is hard to call. I bet it goes the distance though. Probably Gray by decision, I haven't seen the first fight though.

If Gray can't get him down then I think Edgar boxes the shit out of his ears and wins a clear decision.
