:lol daaamn, what a fight.

 

[dem]

Edgar is hard pressed to win this on points..

 

[Ninja Scooter]

29-27 after 3 for Maynard, imho

Great job by Randy getting Maynard back on track

yeah. the problem is Frankie's style doesn't seem to lend itself well to fighting from behind.

 

[industrian]

This fight keeps on giving.

Edgar is a machine.

 

[thirty]

omg, how is frankie taking down the "superior" wrestler?

 

[Fisticuffs]

cmon Frankie we need that Joisey Strength!

 

[Archaix]

It's looking like, absent a finish, the only thing between us and a draw is hoping the judges are ridiculously stingy with 10-8 rounds :lol

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

This is awesome! Edgar is fighter like the larger fighter and just throwing Maynard off of him.

 

[Fifty]

I like how you can hear Frankie's corner randomly yelling "Jersey!" :lol

 

[Zeliard]

yeah. the problem is Frankie's style doesn't seem to lend itself well to fighting from behind.

Frankie's winning the 4th. If he wins the 5th he might have it. It's a battle of cardio now and Gray's gas tank is emptying.

 

[skyfinch]

Frankie the wrestler.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Wasn't that Randy? Great corner work...

Actually was pretty good advice. He was telling him to stop going for the 1 punch knockout and if he keeps beating him up the KO will eventually come.

Man, I was really hoping for him to finish of that first round KO so we could see all the prelim fights but this has turned out to be a pretty good fight.

 

[Buckethead]

Maynard looks gassed

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Frankie's winning the 4th. If he wins the 5th he might have it. It's a battle of cardio now and Gray's gas tank is emptying.

Might only be good enough for a tie.

 

[BigKaboom2]

Frankie needs this round to get a draw on my card.

edit: beaten

 

[Fifty]

A tie's good enough to keep the title though

 

[dream]

It's looking like, absent a finish, the only thing between us and a draw is hoping the judges are ridiculously stingy with 10-8 rounds :lol

Yeah, Frankie needs a 10-8 R5 to avoid a draw.

 

[Zeliard]

Might only be good enough for a tie.

Yeah, could very well lead to a draw, but Frankie keeps the belt if so.

 

[thirty]

here's hoping maynard is spent and gets submitted.

 

[industrian]

Edgar is the fucking Energiser bunny.

Absolutely sensational fight.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yeah, could very well lead to a draw, but Frankie keeps the belt if so.

does that mean we get Pettis/Frankie or an automatic rematch? I really hope its the former.

 

[X26]

judges really want to avoid giving a draw I'd imagine, so as long as frankie doesn't obliterate him here it's gray's win

 

[NomarTyme]

I think we're going to have a new champ.

 

[Fisticuffs]

would really suck if franky lost. I'm fairly certain he is the better fighter.

 

[bigtroyjon]

judges really want to avoid giving a draw I'd imagine, so as long as frankie doesn't obliterate him here it's gray's win

They should all never judge a fight again if they are thinking that.

 

[Buckethead]

Go for broke Frankieeeeee

 

[industrian]

I think we're going to have a new champ.

I think we'll get a rematch if this one goes the distance.

 

[Zeliard]

does that mean we get Pettis/Frankie or an automatic rematch? I really hope its the former.

Not sure. I've enjoyed this match but yeah, I wouldn't really be dying to see a rematch.

But I almost can't imagine Dana White wouldn't pull a rematch in the event of a draw in a championship bout. Has that happened in the UFC before with a non-vacant belt?

 

[dream]

Honestly, I have R5 looking like a 10-10 round which would give the win to Gray, 48-47.

Good thing judges don't give 10-10s.

 

[Fifty]

Stuffing every takedown in the fifth had better give Frankie that round

 

[Brinbe]

Well, no surprise there... Oh god, the judges, sigh.

 

[TheKaeptain]

We might have a draw.

 

[BigKaboom2]

That round was obscenely close; I have no idea. Gonna say 48-46 Maynard but would call it 10-10 if I were a judge.

 

[EraldoCoil]

Great Fucking fight!!!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I don't think Gray has done enough to take the belt.

 

[NomarTyme]

I think we'll get a rematch if this one goes the distance.

sounds good.

 

[X26]

great fight but thinking gray wins comfortably

 

[EviLore]

I have it

10-8 maynard
10-9 edgar
10-9 maynard
10-9 edgar
10-9 edgar

 

[m3k]

edgar i suppose or split decision maynard

 

[dem]

Thats a draw

I dont see how it can be anything but a draw

 

[industrian]

Both those guys need to take a bow. Great fight.

Now we await the decision controversy.

 

[Archaix]

Honestly, I have R5 looking like a 10-10 round which would give the win to Gray, 48-47.

Good thing judges don't give 10-10s.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd give the slight edge to Edgar for denying so many takedowns and punishing on the way out, he got some good knees in when separating. But that's only if I have to choose a winner for the fifth.

 

[thefro]

great fight but thinking gray wins comfortably

Yeah, someone will give Gray round 5... he just needs 1 judge to win.

 

[skyfinch]

What a fight!

 

[Saiyar]

I have it is a tie. I can see some judges giving Maynard round 5 though.

 

[gregor7777]

draw

EDIT: called it

 

[m3k]

:lol

 

[Brinbe]

wow....... :lol :lol :lol :lol

How do you get that discrepancy

 

[NomarTyme]

:lol great!

 

[Beardz]

A draw, oh ok :|
