Saturday, October 8, 2011, the UFC went live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, for UFC 136 - Edgar vs. Maynard III, featuring a lightweight title rematch between reigning champion Frankie Edgar, and #1 contender Gray Maynard.
Full results from UFC 136 - Edgar vs. Maynard III are found HERE; but when the dust settled after another wildly successful event for the promotion, four men walked away with an extra $75 000 for their efforts Saturday night.
Fight of the night honors went to a pair of great rivals in Nam Phan and Leonard Garcia who went three hard rounds toe-to-toe, with Garcia displaying his trademark resilience before mounting a late rally to nearly steal the fight. The bout saw Phan get his redemption for a split decision that went Garcia's way in their previous encounter.
Knockout of the night went to none-other than UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar who once again wore his heart on his sleeve in coming from behind against the bigger Maynard, winning rounds 2 and 3, before ending "The Bully's" night with an uppercut and series of hooks in the fourth. The third bout between the two combatants fulfilled every bit of the hype that preceded it, but we can now look ahead to a new list of contenders in the stacked 155lbs division.
Submission of the night went to Massachusetts native Joe Lauzon who blitzed surging contender Melvin Guillard just 47 seconds into their contest, countering "The Young Assassin" with a stunning (literally) left jab before taking his back to secure the rear-naked choke finish.
