7 Best Fights in UFC History

#4 Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard - UFC 125 (January 1, 2011)

Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard exchange blows

Lightweight Champion, Frankie Edgar and challenger, Gray Maynard began the new year of 2011 with a bang in the second collision of their classic trilogy of bouts.

At the time of this fight, Maynard was the only man to have ever defeated Edgar and the anticipation was at a fever pitch for this re-match with the title on the line.

It looked as though a new Champion was set to be crowned within the very first round as Maynard rocked Edgar again and again with right hand after right hand leaving Edgar staggering around the Octagon like a zombie.

Impressively, the Champion managed to soldier on to survive into the second, wherein he landed more shots than Maynard and took his challenger down with a big take-down as he finally began to gain some momentum.

The third and fourth were both insanely close to score as the two fighters went to war exchanging strikes to a sickening degree.

The last round saw both men once again exchange strikes as both attempted take-downs to secure the victory. However, after the clock ran out, the judges scored the bout a draw, which was probably a fair result.

An all out fiery collision that showed off both men at their very best and remains the in-ring highlight of both fighter's careers.
