UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III was one of the most anticipated Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events of 2011. Zuffa LLC, the parent company of UFC, organized the show at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on October 8, 2011. It featured a plethora of MMA (mixed martial arts) fights, including the main event of the night between the defending UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and the number one contender Gray Maynard.

The co-main event of the night was between two feisty featherweights, Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian. Aldo had recently turned into one of the most dominant fighters on the planet, while Florian, who had previously competed in the lightweight division, was making his debut as a featherweight. Both athletes had techniques and styles that would make it one of the most competitive fights of the night.

Edgar vs. Maynard III was a highly anticipated bout, as both fighters had fought twice before, with Maynard winning the first fight and the second fight resulting in a draw. The third fight was marketed as the ultimate decider of who was the better fighter, and the fans were excited to see how it would play out.

The fight between Edgar and Maynard was a technical masterpiece. Both fighters came into the ring with a sense of urgency, knowing that the fight was their chance to showcase their skills and prove their mettle in front of their fans. Edgar's speed and quick reflexes were on full display as he landed several jabs and hooks, while Maynard tried to take advantage of his superior height and reach.

The first round was a brawl, with both fighters landing some hard punches and kicks, but as the fight progressed, Edgar began to hold an edge with his fast and accurate strikes. Maynard tried to clinch and take the fight to the ground but was met with stiff resistance from Edgar. By the end of the second round, Edgar had firmly established himself as the better fighter, and the third round saw him dominating Maynard with several quick and powerful strikes.

The fight between Aldo and Florian was also intensely competitive, with both men trading some hard blows early on. Aldo used his devastating leg kicks to wear down Florian and tried to take the fight to the ground whenever Florian got too close. Florian put up a good fight, landing some hard jabs and kicks, but Aldo's overall speed and quickness proved to be too much for him. Aldo won the fight unanimously, retaining his title and cementing his status as one of the best featherweights in the world.

Aside from the main and co-main events, UFC 136 also saw some other exciting fights. Melvin Guillard fought Joe Lauzon in a lightweight matchup, with both fighters showcasing some stunning moves and techniques before Lauzon eventually submitted Guillard in the first round, winning the fight by submission. Chael Sonnen fought Brian Stann in another interesting matchup, and Sonnen used his superior wrestling skills to pick up a unanimous decision victory.

Overall, UFC 136 was a highly entertaining event that showcased some of the best fighters in the world of MMA. The fights were a mix of technical skill, endurance, and raw power, and there were plenty of intense moments throughout the night. The main event between Edgar and Maynard was the highlight of the night, with Edgar once again proving himself to be one of the best UFC fighters of all time. UFC 136 will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most memorable UFC events of the decade.
