Jon Luther: How much sleep do you lose at night knowing that Anthony Pettis has to fight Clay Guida because of you?

Gray Maynard: I sleep better. I mean, who has he fought? I’ve been in the trenches this whole time fighting the toughest guys. He throws one kick and then he’s the greatest in the world?

Let’s look at who he’s fought. Ben Henderson is the best name. And I don’t mind fighting him; I don’t care if I win the belt and then I have to take him on. But for me, guys like Miller, Melendez and all of these guys who have been on the f***ing grind, fighting the best competition for the past few years… that’s what I look at. Who have you fought? I don’t care about how good you looked when you fought a scrub. That doesn’t matter. If a guy isn’t good then you’re not supposed to look good. And for me, [Pettis] has fought one good guy in Ben, and he isn’t proven yet. He’s tough as hell, but we’ll see.


read entire interview...

he may not have the ebst resume yet but im preety impressed by ''showtime''

3

I rather watch Pettis fight any day over Maynard.

4

 Pettis always puts on a great performance but i cant disagree with Maynard here.



There are a few guys that have been really kicking ass that probably should get the title shot before Pettis. However, I understand that being the WEC beltholder Pettis is the most logical choice.

5

 Maynard would wreck Henderson.

6

He is jealous of Pettis' skills

7

Typical Maynard always classy, even when he's knocks himself out he claims he hasnt then when he let's the title slip out of his grasp and loses 3 rounds he claims he's been robbed. Edgar break his back make him humble. Phone Post

8

Maynards face is tailor made for Hendersons knees. Phone Post

War, Pettis!! Phone Post

I really cannot warm to Gray. Always acting hard done by. That fake shocked face he was pulling in his interview after the draw that was a draw with Edgar had me in stitches. Not that his personality matters. The problem is his fighting style is usually just as dull.

That said he looked a different animal in the 1st round against Edgar. Hope the next fight is as good.

Whoever said Maynard-Melendez- if Gray loses the rubber match, i'd love to see that fight!

11

Pettis destroys maynard Phone Post

12

I like Pettis but if he destroys Maynard he is basically pretty much untouchable and he has not built up his resume at this point to draw those kinds of conclusions.

13

Gray Maynard...'is not impressed by you're berformanceeeee. Phone Post

14

Maynard is a bully. Pettis is more fun to watch. Phone Post

15

At least Anthony goes for the kill and finishes fights. The only person gray can finish is himself lol Phone Post

16

Not to mention all the people Anthony beat in the WEC are winning in the UFC hmmm.... Phone Post

17

melendez is gonna destroy every LW in his path, including maynard and pettis.

/thread.

18

I actually think bendo vs Maynard would be a good fight. That said pettis didn't beat scrubs in the wec. He's impressive and guida will be a good test for him. Phone Post

19

the WEC LW's all won there UFC fights. pettis will continue the trend by beating guida.

At least Anthony goes for the kill and finishes fights. The only person gray can finish is himself lol - Legit LOL but so true, Gray can't finish his dinner Phone Post
