Classic PPV Series Post 2. UFC 136 Edgar vs Maynard. October 1 2011.

Intro.

For the second edition of this 10 part series we're going all the way back to October 2011. Man Utd were on the verge of getting slapped 6 1 by Man City. Chris Brown had sealed a new hit with UK Grime Music stand out Chipmunk, and The UFC had just pressented one of it's best PPV's from that year. UFC 136 Edgar vs Maynard.

5. UFC Countdown To 136.

This I believe was broadcast on the now TNT Sports brand owned ESPN over here in the UK, and it was a massive study in contrast. Frankie Edgar who was the Lightweight Champion at the time, sat in a bar and rewatched the fight surrounded by his friends and family, whilst Grey Maynard watched alone on a computer in his kitchen like a man possesed. This was something that both men agreed to, and it would be trick that the UFC would use again over the years.

4. Melvin Guillards Downfall.

From 2005 appearing on the second season of The Ultimate. Melvin was a stand out in the Lightweight Division, however it always felt like he was always a bridesmaid never a bride, and his fight against Joe Lauzon on this night was proof. He would after this go on to have a mixed relationship with The fight promotion, from weight issues, legal issues, and a disapointing fight against Michael Johnson at UFC Fight Night London, which led to Dana White releasing one month later. He would then sign for WSOF, but this only lasted less than a year before he was granted his release.

3. Leonard Garcia And Nam Phan Had One Of The Fights Of 2011.

This is one of candidates for one of the most underrated fights ever. Just give this a watch. Because, oh my this was awesome.

2. Kenny Florian Was Outclassed By A Future Legend.

To watch a Jose Aldo fight, is like studying a book of high gratitude. The Man is a myth, and an overall contrast in the human form, Kenny Florian in the US had gained fans appreciation by fighting three weight classes, but he was no Match for Jose.

1. Chael Sonnen.

Chael showed on this night why he's the American Gangster, when he called out Anderson Silva, after he beat Brian Stann. Don't ever change Chael.
