Frankie Edgar has started of 2011 well. He is still the UFC lightweight champion having survived a five round war with Gray Maynard for the UFC lightweight title. Frankie Edgar really showed alot of heart and the will to win in that match. Ok Edgar did not win the match, but perhaps he won something which is just as important: respect.
We at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ know there have been many people who did not respect Frankie Edgar’s status as the UFC lightweight champion before his fight with Gray Maynard. Many people both fans and experts calmed that Edgar was a paper champion and rather than giving Edgar the praise he rightly deserved for beating BJ Penn who many consider to be the greatest lightweight of all time not once but twice, people instead claimed that it was Penn who threw away the fights particularly the first one due to a lack of motivation and a lack of focus.
We at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ believe what Edgar did in the fight with Maynard was to put all of those theories and clams to bed. He was badly hurt in the first round of the match with Maynard and easily lost the first round 10-8. However the determination and will to win shown in the next round and the three rounds after that proved that Frankie Edgar is a here to stay and is a force in the lightweight division. If he beats Maynard in their up and coming rematch then he will have solidified his legacy even more.
We at http://howtobeanmmafighter.com/ think that somehow he will defeat Maynard and leave 2011 the same way he entered it. As the UFC lightweight champion.
