In 2010 Gray Maynard was an unbeaten powerhouse on the cusp of UFC gold, before two of the greatest fights of all time sent his career into a terminal decline. We look at how MMA's "bully" quickly became a victim.

When I saw him on TUF I was certain he was a future world champ. I don't think anyone got as close without reaching the top of the mountain as Maynard.

Carlos Condit and Kenny Florian come to mind.

Cowboy Cerrone was a close one too. These guys are legends.

No Tony? What about all the intrem Champs who never because the actual champ? I'd say that's as close as it gets

For Reals Tho. The Man Was Never The Same After Not Being Able To KO Frankie Edgar In Both Fights. Shout Out To Frankie Edgars 2011 To 2018 Solid Chin.

Thanks man. I just hope I find that magic formula to get the algorithm caring again.

@@ItsNotCagefighting yea I get that, but I guess that part of the problem might be that the content is still pretty niche and there are rarely any fighters that got a loyal fanbase, they lose once and a huge majority of fans don't care about their career anymore, so people won't follow or look them up afterwards but that definitely can't be a explanation for it or atleast not for every video. I've noticed that tags, a detailed description and shorts help but still any ufc related content is a pain to produce and I understand when you don't want to rely on short attention span content to get the attention of a new or other audience, So i definitely feel you. I wish you great success, you guys deserve it. I really can't pinpoint the problem but I really would put some time into investigating other channels who do sorta the same type of content (like "MMA on Point") and what made them blow up, through means of "social blade" or "vid IQ" you can get more detailed information about channels and certain videos, also helped me a little bit with gaining more viewers, excuse me for digressing. I really hope it works out for you guys!

Why bring in that, unnecessary cringe, at the end? Did she really think that she was going to get that crowd hyped?

Him dropping Frankie Edgar all around the octagon in the second fight on NYE was the closest to a 10-7 I’ve ever seen. He should have been champion that night. I’m the biggest Frankie fan too. What a trilogy👏🏾🔥. Thank you to both warriors,

When I see fights today get stopped waaay too early I think of Frankie vs Gray

I rewatched that fight recently and I think that absolutely should have been a 10-7 round. It's amazing Frankie was able to come back to get a draw.

Met him, Dan Hardy and Jon Fitch at the roger area when they came down to Vancouver for the first UFC event held in BC. He was extremely kind too my two buddies and I. Even was kool with us coming back when the line up was super small to ask more questions and take some more pics.

I think about Gray Maynard every now and then, for this reason: he was my favorite fighter to watch get knocked out at the end of his career lol he was James Vick before James Vick.

Maynard was moments away from being a champion, Vick never even got close to being a top contender.
