As far as it depends on you, Gray Maynard he will be busy for a long time in the UFC. The fighter, who faces Nate diaz next Saturday (30), you already know what fights you want to have in the future.
Maynard hopes to overcome Diaz and then be able to avenge his only two defeats in his professional record: against Frankie Edgar, with whom he starred in a trilogy (adding one victory, one defeat and one draw) and TJ Grant.
Even if Edgar had dropped in weight, moving to featherweight, that wouldn't be a hindrance for Maynard. “I have to take care of Nate diaz, but the goal is to fight TJ Grant again, Frankie Edgar and then get the lightweight belt. Even if I have to drop in weight to face Edgar,” he said, in an interview with the North American website MMA Junkie.
“He won the last fight, but I don’t want it to end like that. If he beats me for the second time in three fights, then I'll be fine. But we'll see. I have to get past Nate and move on,” continued the American. Between 2010 and 2011, Maynard had two opportunities to win the lightweight belt, which belonged to Edgar. However, both fights resulted in a draw and Edgar won by knockout.
