UFC Fight Night 47: Gray Maynard vs. Ross Pearson Full Fight Video Highlights

On Saturday August 16, the UFC held UFC Fight Night 47: Bader vs. St.Preux from the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.

In the night’s main event light heavyweights Ryan Bader and Ovince St.Preux battled to move up the light heavyweight hierarchy. Bader (17-4) came in riding a two fight winning streak with decision nods over Rafael Cavalcante and Anthony Perosh since his most recent loss a year ago to most recent light heavyweight title challenger, Glover Teixiera. St.Preux (16-5) got his first main event slot as a member of the UFC in only his fifth octagon appearance. St.Preux is unbeaten in his four fights with the promotion and has finished three straight opponents.

In the night’s co-main event perennial lightweight contenders, Ross Pearson and Gray Maynard, faced off. Pearson (15-7) was coming off a highly controversial split decision loss to Diego Sanchez and a no contest against Melvin Guillard. Before that Pearson had back-to-back TKO victories upon returning to 155 pounds after a brief stint at featherweight. Maynard (11-3-1) was trying to get his career back on track. The former title challenger had lost three of his last four bouts by TKO and had last stepped in the cage nine months ago against Nick Diaz. Before the recent rough patch, Maynard was unbeaten in his first ten bouts.

The rest of the main card featured tough-as-nails middleweights, Tim Boetsch and Brad Tavares. Welterweight, Alan Jouban, made his UFC debut against Seth Baczynski. Heavyweight sluggers, Shawn Jordan and Jack May, went toe-to-toe and featherweights, Robbie Peralta and Thiago Tavares kicked off the main card.
