It was an upset for Gray "The Bully" Maynard to not be able to take the Lightweight championship belt from Frankie Edgar at the Main event of UFC 125. A somewhat controversial decision from the judges to declare the fight as draw that displeased both of the fighters. Maynard was able to land around 97 punches on Edgar on the first round that rocked and knocked him out that nearly finished the fight. Edgar was wobbly at the first round because of those brutal punches and if Maynard has just landed a solid punch or pulled out a naked choke, he could have ended the fight and walk home with the belt. Edgar somehow managed to dominate the rest of the rounds by taking Gray down multiple times and landing solid punches on the face. Gray Maynard remains undefeated and a possible 3rd Edgar vs Maynard fight will set sometime soon. The winner of the fight was supposed to fight the WEC Lightweight champ but this bout could now be in question since there was no winner.
