UFC Fight Night 20: Maynard vs. Diaz Results

The UFC makes their Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. debut tonight at the Patriot Center with UFC Fight Night 20: Maynard vs. Diaz. Fans can watch the main card at 9pm ET on Spike.
Gray Maynard is fighting to avenge a loss to Nate Diaz on the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter. Diaz went on to win that season but Maynard has had the more successful UFC run as he may be fighting for a title shot tonight. Gray has yet to lose in his career building up an 8-0 record with six wins coming inside the UFC. Maynard also holds a dominant decision victory over Frankie Edgar who is rumored to be the leading candidate to fight B.J. Penn for the lightweight title. A dominant performance could earn Maynard a much deserved title shot.
