HOUSTON – It had the makings of a disaster – a very familiar one – but UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar stormed back and scored an elusive victory over Gray Maynard at Saturday’s UFC 136 event.
Edgar, who fought to a split draw with Maynard back in January, again found himself in a 10-8 hole after one round. But the champ stormed back to win the next two rounds before earning a fourth-round TKO victory.
The title fight headlined Saturday’s UFC 136 event, which took place at Houston’s Toyota Center. The main card aired on pay-per-view after prelims on Spike TV and Facebook.
