Frankie Edgar will fight B.J. Penn at UFC 118. This fight is anticipated to be a great matchup between these two fighters that matched up against each other just recently.

In their recent match, Edgar was able to take home the victory. This victory made him the champion of the UFC Lightweight division. The fight was an interesting fight. Normally there is a lot of excitement and great fighting taking place in a championship bout.

Unfortunately the fight wasn’t extremely exciting between these two fighters.

Penn was a little bit on the slow side compared to his usual self and really did not show forth his best effort. Edgar fought well, but certainly did not bring any earth shattering moves into the match. In the end the fight was extremely close. The closeness of the fight is probably the reason for the rematch in UFC 118.

The key and question in this fight will be Penn. Penn is clearly a talented fighter. Many people even know Penn as “The Prodigy.” Unfortunately Penn just did not show up in their last fight. If Penn comes with his best effort then you can expect a great match between Edgar and Penn when this match rolls around.

Edgar has all of the tools and he will need to bring them if he hopes to retain his belt. He has only lost once in his career to this point and it can be assured that he has no intention of losing this fight against Penn.

There is plenty of time so make sure you place your UFC bet on this fight
