I kind of like this fight. I think it will determine whether Maynard should retire and whether Ishihara is a real prospect.

 

[LurkenLikaGherkin]

Do not want to see GM even dropped, let alone KO'ed, ever again.

If Maynard loses, and it's not some insane robbery, he needs to retire immediately.

I think they are calling him a Las Vegan like the way people say New Yorker.

Those fights with Frankie took a part of his soul. I hope he is getting paid well.

He fought on the last two TUF finales I think. He's becoming a staple.

Funny and agree

 

[Ministry of Silly Walks]

Fuck Gray, please retire already. I get nervous watching him fight.

 

[Onetrickpony]

Teruto is hilarious. Always chasing the ladies, big and small.

Gray has to hold the record for TUF alum with the most fights.

Probably Bisping.

maynard punch resistance isnt good, its not terrible; but its has regressed, if he fights smart..with intelligent pressure and timely td/clinch attempts he should be fine.

prob is his opp is dynamic in spots, if gray gets too wide or comes too hard; he will get caught or countered...gray needs to be very measured w/his aggression..lean on physicality and wrestling w/timely strikes\
