No surprises here, Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard earned Fight of the Night honors following their lightweight title scrap at UFC 125 in Las Vegas.
All UFC 125 post-fight award winner were recipients of a $60,000 bonus.
Despite no decisive winner, the competitiveness of Saturday’s main event was an easy selection for the UFC’s post-fight award. After an incredibly lopsided first round which Edgar lost 10-8 (and arguably 10-7), the lightweight champion bounced back to win the fight on one of the judge’s scorecards. In the end the final scores were 48-46 Edgar, 48-46 Maynard and 47-47 for the split draw.
