I think Diaz got screwed; the judges gave it to the undefeated guy. And why unanimous? At the very least it should have been split.
I had Kim winning.

Don't use hindsight as an argument against me. Maynard lnp'd his way to decisions for his last 7 fights before this one. Edgar just got done easily out-striking BJ Penn for 5 straight rounds a few months ago.
You'll have to forgive me if I didn't see it going that way.
To Edgar's credit, he's a different man from the last time he and Maynard met. But you don't think Maynard almost took it early in Round 1? It was looking kinda grim for the champ for the better part of a minute. But Maynard gassed, and after the Second it was pretty much Edgar's fight.
Frank Edgar learned from his first loss to Maynard, unlike Koscheck who didn't seem to improve at all the second time he fought GSP.
