Rich has been really impressive in his wins here of late. Looking back its hard to believe that he beat Anthony Johnson. Everyone says Shawn Sherk is a lay n pray fighter but Gray Maynard is way worse. If I had to pick a winner id say Maynard would probably win a boring decision.

Fuck this is a hard fight to predict. My instinct is to say Maynard grinds the win out... kinda the same as he did Edgar but maybe with (if it's possible) a little more LnP. I don't mean that in a bad way- I just mean he won't be able to try and be as aggressive in the guard of Clementi.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said here. Maynard probably takes this by fairly dominant UD, but I'd love, and wouldn't be surprised, to see Clementi pull out the sub.

Maynard by tko first round.

People are underestimating Grey. Grey is a amazing wrestling an the rest of his skills are coming along. He trains with a great camp an i see him hurting Rich standing an finishing him off on the ground.

His standup game is pretty rudimentary. Superman punches and big loopy shots with no setup. Edgar definitely looked way better when they were trading, Maynard won that fight totally based on his ability to brutishly slam Edgar around and keep him on the bottom. I'm not taking away from his victory, but from what I've seen he is pretty much riding on pure strength and athleticism at this stage in his career

i agree! besides his bitching after the Emerson fight, ive always liked Gray. im not underestimating how his skills are always improving. but Rich is no slouch, and if Sam Stout couldnt handle him on the feet then Gray wont be able to. you're more right leaning towards a GnP TKO then a KO on the feet.

I'm pulling for Clementi. I didn't like him on TUF for some reason, but I really grew to like him after that and his dedication and hard work since then is easy to appreciate. I agree that the lack of hierarchy in the division is a bit frustrating as a fan.

I got Rich in this fight. Hes really come back and shown that he is a force. With this win, I think hes one more win away from a title shot. They need to start matching these LW's up, and move them either up or down the ladder. Then put the losers on a undercard to move them further down or mid level, then the winners up to each other again. I do have to say this, the LW title will never have to worry about a challenger. Now only to have this problem with the HW's.

Yeah i don't think its a ko, imo Grey has some power an i think he will hurt Rich then finish it on the ground.

Grey decides where the fight stays an goes, an that will be the key in this fight.

Plus have to remember Grey has what 6 fights, he is still green.
