The UFC's lightweight division basically comes down to B.J. Penn and everyone else, but Gray Maynard has a plan for getting to the top of the "everyone else" pile: He wants to fight the winner of the Kenny Florian-Takanori Gomi bout that will serve as the main event of UFC Fight Night 21 on March 31.
Maynard made his statement on Twitter Monday morning, tweeting, "florian vs gomi. I want to fight the winner!!" Maynard later told a fan that he's picking Florian to win.
Maynard is a logical next opponent for the Florian-Gomi winner, and it's a fight that I would like a lot. I also agree with Maynard that Florian will win.

I could see Maynard pulling a W over both of these guys. But then again, I could see both of these guys pulling a W over Maynard. So let's get it on!

I could see him beating Gomi, but Florian would finish beat him fairly easily and finish the fight at that.

I think gomi is the perfect fighter to outstrike maynard and keep the fight on the feet.

Makes sense since the UFC won't give Maynard the title shot (Edgar got it desite losing to Maynard). I think it's an outstanding position for him to take as it keeps him competing at the highest level possible shy of the title.....like a LW version of John Fitch!

he must be afraid that Dan will pass him by and give the winner of this fight- rightly so......

Makes sense. He could probably wrestle decisions on both of them. Kenny will be tricky though but the way Gomi's looked recently I think Maynard takes him no problem.
