UFC 130 will take place on May 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The fight card will be headlined by a UFC lightweight title fight between the champion Frankie Edgar and challenger Gray Maynard. The two met in a championship bout on January 1 of this year that ended with Edgar retaining his title due to the fight being scored as a majority draw.
Edgar and Maynard had met earlier in their careers as well, fighting on a UFC card in 2008, with Maynard taking a unanimous decision victory.
Also appearing on the card will be a light heavyweight battle between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill. This fight could develop into somewhat of a grudge match as the fighters and their camps have been exchanging barbs since Hamill was moved into replace Thiago Silva after questions arose regarding Silva’s UFC 125 urine test.
The main card, which will be broadcast on pay-per-view will be rounded out with the following fights:
Frank Mir vs Roy Nelson
Stefan Struve vs Travis Brown
Brian Stann vs Jorge Santiago
Two preliminary card fights will be broadcast on Spike TV:
Thiago Alves vs Rick Story

Three other preliminary card fights are currently not scheduled to be broadcast:
