UFC’s Gray Maynard ready for lightweight champion Frankie Edgar anytime UFC wants

Gray Maynard got a big pick-me-up this past weekend.

In January, UFC president Dana White said the UFC lightweight wasn’t ready for a shot at B.J. Penn’s lightweight title.

But with Frankie Edgar’s upset victory over Penn at UFC 112, some fans are arguing that Maynard should get the next shot. Other fans, though, have suggested he should jump one last hurdle to a title shot by first fighting fellow contender Kenny Florian. But Maynard feels he’s ready now for Edgar now.
