Gray Maynard

Gray “The Bully” Maynard was a Michigan State wrestler and Ultimate Fighter 5 alumnus who spent years grinding opponents down with takedowns. Ten of his 11 career wins went to the judges, and one of them was a 2008 decision over Frankie Edgar, the only defeat Edgar suffered before becoming champion.

Their rematch at UFC 125 in 2011 was a draw and Fight of the Year, after Maynard almost finished Edgar in the first round, and Edgar knocked him out in their third fight. CagePotato covered the Edgar trilogy and his later attempts to revive his career at featherweight.
