The winner of Saturday’s UFC 118 co-headliner between Kenny Florian and Gray Maynard will, in fact, get a shot at the lightweight title.
UFC president Dana White today confirmed the plans in today’s pre-UFC 118 press conference at the Great Hall in Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall.
Of course, immediately following Florian vs. Maynard on Saturday, lightweight champion Frankie Edgar takes on B.J. Penn.
