Frankie Edgar to Defend Lightweight Title Against Gray Maynard at UFC 125

Frankie Edgar will defend his UFC lightweight title against Gray Maynard at UFC 125 on New Year's Day at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Edgar (13-1, 8-1 UFC) dominated B.J. Penn for five rounds to retain the lightweight title at UFC 118. The New Jersey fighter has won five fights in a row, including back-to-back defeats of Penn.

Maynard (10-0 (1), 8-0 (1) UFC) defeated Kenny Florian by unanimous decision at UFC 118 to earn a shot at the title that some felt was overdue. Maynard has never been defeated in his professional career (although he was submitted by Nate Diaz while competing on "The Ultimate Fighter 5").

Maynard is also responsible for Edgar's only career loss, defeating Edgar by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 13 in 2008.

Edgar last three fights:
Win (Unanimous Decision) B.J. Penn - UFC 118
Win (Unanimous Decision) B.J. Penn - UFC 112
Win (Submission - Rear-Naked Choke) Matt Veach - Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale

Win (Split Decision) Roger Huerta - UFC Fight Night 19
