Edgar vs. Maynard out of UFC 130 due to Injuries
Breaking news here on this monday morning, officially released by Mike Chiappetta that both Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar will not be fighting at UFC 130 for the trilogy. Sources say Edgar injured his ribs in training, and Maynard suffered a knee injury.
For those of you like myself that had planned to go to this fight, I feel that I can speak for everyone in saying this is a disappointment. Not only the main event which was supposed to be the rematch of the fight of the year no longer happening (which only can anger people so much because it was due to injuries), but that the UFC simply pushed Matt Hamill vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to headline the card. With recent news about Jackson saying he would rather make movies than be in the octagon, this is quite a let down for such an anticipated card. There truly is no one to blame simply because it the fight is weeks away, and therefore a main event caliber match simply cannot be organized with the allotted time.
One thing that we have recently learned is that the undercard fights can be just as or even more exciting than the main card. Without a guaranteed grudge match taking place that was to nearly ensure quality entertainment, UFC fans can only hope for an exciting night at the MGM.
