Does Frankie have the answer for the bully?

On new years’ day Frankie Edgar goes into UFC 125 on a mission. This mission is not only to defend his UFC lightweight title but to avenge the only lose of his professional MMA career.

In http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/’s opinion this match could be tougher for Edgar than the matches with BJ Pen. Some of you reading this will find that statement shocking but before you start adding negative comments allow me to explain.
We at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ believe that Frankie Edgar totally dominated BJ Pen in two fights (that’s our opinion regardless of what other people may think). His wrestling was much better than BJ Pen’s as was his boxing. In the second fight in particular he was able to control and take down BJ Pen which has not happened for a long time in the lightweight division.

Gray Maynard poses a very different kind of treat. He is a wrestler and a good one at that. Now we at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ will admit that Gray Maynard may not be the most entertaining or exciting fighter but http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ also knows that MMA is a results business. His record of 11-0, 1NC suggests that he is doing something right. The fact he has beaten Edgar already is a huge bonus in a sport where the mental aspect is almost as important if not more so than the physical or skill aspect.

http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ wonders if Maynard is able to score a takedown early in the fight how will this affect the mind set of Edgar? To have a man that has already beaten you take you down early in a fight would be a bad omen of things to come. Yes Edgar has shocked the world twice before. However here at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ we believe that Edgar will need to do that once again to walk out of MGM Grand Garden Arena still the UFC lightweight champion.
