The UFC goes to Bangor, Maine, this weekend for UFC Fight Night 47: Bader vs. St. Preux. For a fight night card, this one has a lot of notable fighters who are sure to have entertaining fights. The co-main event of the card features a bout between the No. 12 lightweight, Gray Maynard, and the winner of season nine of The Ultimate Fighter, Ross Pearson.
Maynard has been out of action since November 2013, when he was TKO’d by Nate Diaz in the first round. He is just 1-3-1 in his last five fights, with the lone win being a split-decision over Clay Guida in 2012.
Pearson last fought in June, where he dropped a controversial split decision to Diego Sanchez. Although he lost, Dana White and the UFC decided to treat it as though it was a win, and Pearson received his win bonus and a step up in competition.
There’s a lot of factors at play in this fight, so let’s see who has the edge in this full head-to-toe breakdown.
