UFC 136 is less than a week away, and it will feature a replay of one of the leading candidates for 2011’s fight of the year between UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
Edgar has yet to defeat Maynard, who is the only man to beat him in his career. Their second fight from UFC 125 ended in a draw and leaves much unfinished business between the two.
In the co-main event, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo defends his title against former lightweight title challenger Kenny Florian.
Both made their UFC featherweight debuts earlier this year. Aldo defeated Mark Hominick at UFC 129 while Florian beat Diego Nunes at UFC 131.
Middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen also returns to the cage since losing against Anderson Silva in July, 2010. He takes on Brian Stann, a former Marine who packs a lot of power in his punches.
Other main card bouts include Joe Lauzon vs. Melvin Guillard and Leonard Garcia vs. Nam Phan.
The PPV will begin at 9 p.m. ET and be broadcast live from the Toyota Center in Houston, TX.
The undercard will be streamed on Facebook and Spike TV.
Spike TV will broadcast Demian Maia vs. Jorge Santiago and Anthony Pettis vs. Jeremy Stephens.
