- Heart
Gray “The Bully” Maynard is a powerful boxer with the ability to knock out his opponent with either hand.
He also has a strong wrestling game and can shoot for a great double leg takedown to gain the upper hand in a fight whenever he chooses.
Pressure Maynard’s opponents on the feet, throwing his heavy technique hooks to potentially rock them.
Look for the takedown if you’re getting outstruck on the feet—fast hands have been known to give him trouble.
Use his driving double leg to power the opponent onto the ground, then work at improving position and posturing up to rain down brutal ground strikes from the top.
“The Bully” can also control the clinch quite effectively, using it to inflict damage and score big suplexes when regular standing takedowns are proving too difficult.
WEAKNESSES
- Kicks
Maynard is a powerful puncher with fast and dangerous combinations, but he can be outstruck by elusive kickboxers who use their superior footwork and kicking ability to outmaneuver and punish him from outside of his countering range.
Keep away from him and use lots of fast kicks and long strikes to batter him from the outside.
His best punches have limited range, so keep your distance and remain ready to sprawl and stuff his takedowns at any given moment.
He is tough to handle when he gets you to the ground, but he has limited submission ability—focus on defending against his brutal ground-and-pound and improving your position instead, then try not to let “The Bully” get the best of you again.
