Each year the Ultimate Fighting Championship rings in the New Year with a stacked fight card that features instant classics to be enjoyed for years to come – This January 1 will be no different.
“I’m very excited to be fighting New Year’s Day against a fighter that has a win over me,” Frankie Edgar said. “I’m looking forward to putting on a great show and avenging my one loss. There are still a lot of people that are doubting me and that’s fine. I’ve learned a lot since our last fight and I plan on successfully defending my title.”
“I’m excited and honored to be fighting Frank Edgar in a lightweight title bout for the UFC,” Gray Maynard said. “Edgar is a great opponent; I’m looking forward to an exciting and tough fight with him. After years of hard work and sacrifice, this brings me one step closer to my goal of winning the belt.”
