How is Maynard vs. Huerta not the Main Event? Why does Nick Diaz headline against Guillard when he’s coming off two losses and Guillard is just, well, Melvin Guillard?

Shamelessly self-promoting since 1997...

Gray Maynard is like the Yushin Okami of the lightweight division. First, he gets passed over for a title shot in favor of Diego Sanchez. Then he can’t even headline over the epic “coke vs. pot” fight. Wow.
