UFC 125 - Frankie Edger Vs Gray Maynard

Kim Vs Nate Diaz

Kim took Diaz down a lot during the first 2 5 minute rounds and then Diaz took control of the third 5 minute round and Diaz had a questionable illegal shot called against him in the round and Kim was allowed to take time to recover from the illegal kick. Then it looked like Kim was to big for Diaz and Diaz was not able to get Kim down and when he did Kim got right back up and when it was announced that Kim has one an unanimous decision the crowd booed like their was no tomorrow so that the crowd felt that Diaz third round should have been enough as Diaz corner after two basically wanted him to finish Kim because they felt that Diaz had not won either round.

Brain Stann defeated Chris Lem by TKO in the first round and Stann had to knoucked Chris 3 straight times before Chris was unable to fight back and Stann had a punch, kick, punch combo that knoucked Chris down the first time and it was over except Chris faught back huge to keep it going for another 30 seconds.

Clay Guida defeated Takanori Gomi by guillotine choke

Thiago Silva domonated Brandon Vera with Silva taken control on top all three rounds and Vera had some hard punches but Silva hit back even harder.

Gray Maynard Vs Frankie Edger

Gray Maynard had a huge left hook and Edger had to be in survival mode for the last 3 minutes of the first round and Gray tried to finish it on the floor but he could not do it. The second round was Edger's round and the crowd was on his side and Edger was amazing also in the third round by taking down Gray and almost choking him out and Ray faught back and Edger took him down in the fourth round to and Gray had his shoots in the round too. The final round was a fight of to very tired performers and it was a very even round and it went to the decision with one judge 48-46 Gray, the second judge 48-46 Edger and the third had a 47-47 tie so it was a draw and neither proformer did not like the decision but it just means that Edger was cerited with being more of the aggeressive performer in 2, 3, and 4. Edger did a lot to come back to not lose his belt and Gray had one round where Gray just distroyed Edger with 97 punches which took a lot out of Gray and did not have another demonating round in the match while Edger had two better and a demonating round.

The Main event was a classic and everybody wanted a decision but atleast their will be a third match-up at sometime and Brain Stann domonance Chris Lebon was something to watch as well and Diaz try to end the fight in the third round and Silva ground and pound made the night a huge success.
