UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar showed his affinity for the dramatics at last Saturday’s UFC 136.
In a first round similar to their last meeting at UFC 125, challenger Gray Maynard pummeled the champion with vicious strikes in the opening frame, forcing Edgar to once again mount a comeback to keep his title.
