Meanwhile, Kenny Florian looks to prove he?s not a choker in his third shot at a UFC title when he challenges Brazilian assassin Jose Aldo for the featherweight championship, while Chael Sonnen makes his long awaited return to the octagon against emerging middleweight contender Brian Stann.
Here?s a closer look:
Main Bouts (Pay-Per-View): -Frankie Edgar (13-1-1) vs. Gray Maynard (10-0-1) One of the most compelling recent trilogies in mixed martial arts comes to a close as the UFC lightweight champion Edgar faces off with Xtreme Couture prodigy Maynard to settle the score once and for all. Neither fighter has seen action since their title clash this past January, which resulted in a draw. Edgar, 29, is perhaps best known for his two upset wins over legendary lightweight B.J. Penn. Aside from an April 2008 decision loss to Maynard, Edgar has been stellar in his octagon campaign, defeating the likes of Jim Miller, Tyson Griffin, Mark Bocek, Spencer Fisher and Sean Sherk.
