LAS VEGAS – Frankie Edgar didn’t leave UFC 125 a winner, but he left the event with his lightweight championship belt.
Opponent Gray Maynard battered the champion with a first-round beatdown, but Edgar survived and ultimately evened up the score with the judges, who scored a rousing five-round championship bout a disappointing draw.
The nail-biter headlined Saturday’s “UFC 125: Resolution” pay-per-view card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
