Gray Maynard vs. Nate Diaz - The main event, Gray Maynard vs. Nate Diaz is not only a grudge match, but may hold lightweight title shot implications should Maynard pull out the victory. Now, I only say “grudge” since Diaz subbed Maynard during season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter, knocking him out of the tournament. I also only say “may” hold title shot implications since rumors are swirling that BJ Penn may defend his belt next (read: dismantle) against Frankie Edgar, despite his loss to Maynard, at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi. Maynard’s literally wrestled his way to a 9-0-1 record and riding a five fight winning streak, most recently against Roger Huerta and Jim Miller, while Diaz beat Melvin Guilliard at FN19 last September. |
