HOUSTON — UFC lightweight champion Frankie (The Answer) Edgar and challenger Gray (The Bully) Maynard got in each other’s face at the pre-UFC 136 news conference.
The two fighters posed, their chests almost touching, with stone-like faces.
They did not shake hands after the photo op.
They meet for the third time on Saturday night at the Toyota Center. Their last meeting, at UFC 125 in January, was declared a draw with Edgar retaining the title.
Maynard won their first non-title meeting, in April 2008.
