UFC 136 open workouts photos gallery for 'Edgar vs Maynard 3' in Houston

Earlier today (Thurs., Oct. 6, 2011), UFC 136: "Edgar vs. Maynard 3" event competitors participated in an open workout designed mostly for photo opportunities.

And photos we got.

UFC 136 will be headlined by the long-awaited trilogy fight in the rivalry between Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and his own personal "Bully," Gray Maynard.

A second championship match-up is set for "Space City," as featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo will put his strap on the line against Kenny Florian, who is still in search of that elusive first title win.

A middleweight number one contender bout is also on the card with Republican Chael Sonnen going to war against super-soldier Brian Stann for the right to challenge for the 185-pound title.
