It may not go down in history as one of the most exciting fights in the Octagon, but Gray Maynard was able to use his wrestling to control the fight against Kenny Florian for win on the judge's scorecards.
When the fighters were on their feet there wasn't much action with Florian afraid of Maynard's takedowns and Maynard was afraid of Kenny's striking. In all three rounds Maynard was eventually able to close distance and get takedowns where he was able to work a measured top game to earn the clear decision.
The scorecards read 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27.
With the win Maynard has put himself in line for a title shot against the winner of the UFC 118 main event between B.J. Penn and Frankie Edgar.
