Also Randy Couture is the fucking man, LOVED him in Maynard's corner. So fucking badass.

This is one of those main event fights where you legitimately feel like "these 2 are the motherfucking best in the world." I mean Maynard's striking while a little rudimentary and reliant on his brute power, is VASTLY improved especially from the Nate Diaz fight, where I though he looked fucking terrible. You mix that with insane conditioning (to recover from not putting Frankie away and shake off the "adrenaline dump" shows what he's all about) and top class wrestling, and you have an absolute fucking machine.

Then you have Frankie Edgar, who is just a freak. He's undersized and other than that poor first round, he was not getting bullied by the bully. He's pure class, he moves so quickly, his conditioning makes me cry, and he proved his wrestling is the tops of the division, and he outstruck bj fucking penn.

I think watching the fifth round, where both guys were shrugging off one anothers takedowns and pretty much were forced into striking was one of the coolest things I've seen. Just top class stuff all around.

Seriously, people love to talk shit that the UFC doesn't have the best fighters in light weight blah blah blah. Well... Gil Melendez, Eddie Alvarez, Kawajiri and Aoki have NEVER EVER been in a fight like both of these guys. Don't get me wrong, they've seen some wars, but this was just a whole other level. They've never even fought guys close to the level of a Maynard or Edgar.
