UFC division rankings post UFC 118
With the top four lightweight fighters in its promotion active for UFC 118, the Ultimate Fighting Championship sorted its 155 pound weight class with a min tournament of sorts. Reigning lightweight champion Frankie Edgar (13-1) left little doubt in the eyes of critics with his second consecutive victory over former champ B.J Penn (15-7-1). A combination of quick striking, effective takedowns and ground control helped Edgar earn a clean 50-45 sweep on all three judge's scorecards.
The battle for the UFC's lightweight number one contender spot went to Gray Maynard (10-0) following a three round grinding of Kenny Florian (13-5).After a dominate wrestling performance from Maynard, he will get the next crack at Edgar's belt. The fight will be a rematch of April 2008 bout won by Maynard.
