Edgar vs Maynard Fight Prediction:
If the fight doesn’t go to the ground, Edgar will simply outpunch Maynard. He’s a faster, more agile, and more technical fighter when it comes to stand up. However, if Maynard manages to take Frankie down, he may simply wear him out (not necessarily finish him) because he is a lot stronger fighter physically.

Edgar vs Maynard Full Fight Review:
Okay, I’m writing this review as I’m watching this fight, so I won’t put on any spoilers guys. Here it goes:

Round 1: Both Edgar and Maynard are starting off explosively, not necessarily in terms of punch exchanges, but rather movement. Edgars movement is top notch as always but I have a feeling that Maynard is the hunter here.The first minute is passing by and nothing extraordinary is happening. Edgar is throwing some jabs which are not hitting. He managed to land a right low kick though. Wow! It’s 1:20 into the fight and Maynard hits the left hook right on the chin of Frankie Edgar! Edgar is in deep trouble as he gets pushed and off balance from the punch. Maynard chases him throughout the octagon.

Frankie finally falls to the ground protecting himself on his belly while Maynard is trying to finish the fight by pounding him. While trying to get up, Frankie manages to get hit by another devastating punch (the underhook). He falls to the ground again. I think that Maynard should stop trying to finish this fight right now, lest he gases out. Frankie is putting a lot of heart in his defense, and finally after clinching manages to widen the distance. They are both on their feet again and start from the octagon center. After the take down attempt by Frankie, which failed, Maynard once again rolls Edgar, only now with a right hook. The punch is so strong that it sends Edgar rolling back (something like what Velasquez did to Lesnar). I don’t know if he’ll be able to get out of this one though. The last part of the first round is all about Edgar trying to survive. Maynard manages to hit one more jab though. The round ends with Maynard dominating it, almost pulling out a K.O. It’s incredible how Frankie Edgar managed to survive this onslaught. However, I’m also concerned about Maynard gassing out.

Round 2: Frankie Edgar starts the round by moving fast (what he does the best); he looks great again. Even manages to hit Maynard with a few low kicks. Lands an overhand right as well (not that damaging, though). It’s the middle of the second round and Edgar manages to rock Maynard with a straight jab. However, he doesn’t fall down. I think that Gray gassed out already by desperately trying to finish the fight in the first round. A minute before the second round finished Edgar manages to score an unbelievable take down. They get up on their feet very fast. Edgar simply lands the punches this round. The second round is over and Edgar wins it very dominantly.

Round3: Edgar again starts to move explosively. This fight is basically turning out to be a chase fest, with a tired Maynard trying to chase Edgar down, while Edgar is landing more and more straight punches. It’s the last minute of the third round, and Maynard surprisingly manages to land a right hook once again. Nothing very serious, though. Gray takes Frankie down, and after a few seconds of positioning gets into a situation where Frankie manages to pull a guillotine. Fortunately, the bell rings. What a fight!

Round 4: Gray starts by trying to pose his game play and tries to be a dominant fighter. However, Edgar takes him down twice consecutively. The whole round can be summarized in a few sentences: Edgar is the hunter now, with Grays punches being slow and not as devastating anymore (he must have gassed out somewhere in the process of landing those 97 punches in the first round, with maybe 5% landing). At one point Edgar got the chance to pull a guillotine, but Gray defended himself. A few take downs by Edgar and a few very nice, clean punches to the head. This round also goes to Edgar.

Round 5: Well, this round was the most even one. Gray starting strong landing a few good punches, then Frankie recovering and rocking a few punches himself. The middle of the round was passing and the guys were trying to take each other down. Amazing display of take down defense by both of them. In the end, this was a very even round.

Edgar vs Maynard Result:
Well, the fight was declared a draw. In the end, I think this was the most fair decision, even tough I think that Gray Maynard will feel a bit bitter because the first round wasn’t counted as 10-8. If this was the case, Maynard would have been a new champ. I definitely think that there will be a rematch and that this is going to be pretty exciting too. This was an awesome fight, and it just proved how wrong the predictions in MMA can be. If anything, this was not boring as everyone (including me) predicted.
