Bleacher Report’s Nick Caron:
Tough news was dealt to the UFC and its fans, as today as the main event for UFC 130 has been canceled due to injuries sustained by both Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
The news broke earlier today from UFC President Dana White, who confirmed it with MMA Fighting’s Mike Chiappetta.
The bout was originally scheduled to be the third match in the trilogy between the UFC’s top two lightweights after they battled to a draw at UFC 125. Maynard won the first contest back in April 2008 and remains the only blemish on the UFC Lightweight Champion’s record.
According to sources, Edgar has been sidelined with broken ribs while Maynard will miss time due to an unnamed knee injury. There has been no timetable set for the rescheduling of this very important contest.
