UFC 125

I would have given it to Maynard too

Difference in judging philosophy, effective counter punching vs aggression

Maynard took the first round 10-8, just punished Edgar. He evened it out winning 3 rounds. I think..? Awesome fight regardless.

You gota beat the champ to be the champ. Edgar was still pushing the pace in rnd 5..

And Brandon Vera's nose...

 

[Shcrews]

OUCH brandon vera got his face rearranged


i liked the edgar decision... maynard should have been more agressive especially after a 1st round like that.

hopefully instead of a rematch we will see pettis vs edgar, or in a perfect world Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez will go to the ufc

I agree, you have to really win decisively, anything close goes to the champ or is a draw. Win, lose, or draw, it was fight of the night, and i give major respect to Edgar for just surviving round 1 and showing up for the rest of the fight. I want to see a rematch.

Did you hear his trainer/doctor/whatever right after the fight. He comes up to him and says "Have you ever broken it before" and brandon says "Broke what?" The doc was like "YOUR NOSE!!" wtf duh...shit was funny

i would give the decision to edgar because he was still active in rnd5 and he won round 2,3 and 5 clearly
