I think the best upset chance by far is Jorge Santiago. Maia doesn't have the striking power (IMO anyway) to really test Jorge's chin which is his weak part of his game.

I also wouldn't be shocked if Leonard Garcia "won" tonight too. This fight is going to a decision and Leonard's style is perfect for winning decisions.

Re: UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III - October 8, 2011

I remember a time Steve Cantwell use to be promoted as the next big thing in WEC. But it was like once he lost the rematch to Brian Stann, his career and confidence went down hill.

Kind of weird he fought Brian Stann 3 times in the WEC. Beat him once and lost to him twice.

Anyway this is his 4th fight in a row he lost in the UFC, so I expect him to be cut by Dana White. He is only 24, so he has some years to improve and try to get back into the UFC.

OMG that Maia fight was BORING. No damage......no attacking. Just takedowns and trying to pass but couldn't so they both just hugged each other for 3 rounds.

Not surprised the crowd boo'ed them for 3 rounds. No action at all.

Definitely. That was also a boring fight (maia-santiago)
Happy pettis got the win. Guillard-Lauzon or Phan-Garcia first fight?

Hopefully nobody listened to me and put an underdog bet on Santiago :P.

Man, those prelims stunk. I thought Lil Heathen / Pettis was gonna be a war for the ages but all we really saw was two guys shooting takedowns and trying to win on position.

Maia / Santiago was a snoozer. I miss the Maia who would sub you if you dare ended up on the ground.

I liked Stephens-Pettis
Maia-Santiago not so much.
