Gray Maynard has lost his last three fights in a row, but with a return to Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, the lightweight has signed a new 8-fight contract and is looking to return to the form that earned him a title shot:
I just signed another contract with the UFC, which is an 8 fight deal. We moved away from here a few years back and I ended up at AKA. Then I left there and did my last camp at Power MMA. I’d just been jumping all over the place.
I had considered the drop down, and it’s always a possibility. A couple people in the UFC asked me if I could do it, and I told them I probably could, but I want to keep competing where I’m at. I feel like I’m still one of the top guys, I’ve just got to put it together.
I’m kind of at that point where I have to prove that I still belong with those top names. It’s going to take at least 1 or 2 more before I get back to fighting those type guys again. I probably won’t get one of the best names when I come back, but that’s to be expected. I’m just glad to be able to get back in there and test myself again.
