I can see why people would pick Edgar the next time, and I would probably would do, but you have to consider Maynard did proably gas himself out a lot with the barrage of punches in the 1st, and still arguably won the 3rd and 5th rounds still. Credit has to be given to both fighters for still going pretty strong into the 5th round. I think Maynard would have better success with takedowns the next time around, when hes not gassed out.
I dont see why Pettis is getting screwed here tho, he should be getting the next shot @ Edgar. I love how Joe was selling it hard after the fight too like "he was supposed to fight the WINNER of this fight, what will they do now?", as if he wasnt told to do that in his ear, lol, so ridiculous. Pettis should be having a unification fight against Edgar, but what daddy Dana says goes, so Pettis will probably end up fighting Jim Miller, losing, and never getting a shot. So ridiculous. Gotta feel bad for the kid. And its not even like he cant sell right now either, who the fuck doesnt know and want to see more of Pettis after that ninja kick?! Ride the hot hand, do the right thing.. let Edgar fight Pettis.
