After three fights at featherweight, it looks like Gray Maynard is going to return to the division where he has had the most UFC success. The former two-time 155-pound title challenger will go back up to that weight class when he meets veteran grinder Nik Lentz at UFC 229 on October 6th.
Maynard (13-6-1, 1 NC) dropped to featherweight in 2016 after a string of 155-pound losses, and was a bit uneven there. He went 2-1 against lower-level competition, only dropping a very dull decision to Ryan Hall. This will be his first fight since July 2017, where he won a decision over Teruto Ishihara.
