Though he’s one of the division’s greatest champions, Frankie Edgar continues to field questions about leaving the lightweight division to compete at 145 pounds. At UFC 150, Edgar will have a chance to silence those questions for the time being by regaining his title from lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
Henderson dethroned Edgar from the top of the 155-pound division in February, but a close decision left the UFC with no choice but to give Edgar an immediate rematch for the belt. After all, Edgar had been forced to grant immediate rematches to both B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard during his time as lightweight titleholder.
Also, lightweights Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard will meet in the co-main event of UFC 150. At one point in time, Cerrone and Guillard trained together at Jackson’s MMA, but Guillard recently left that camp to train with the Blackzilians in Florida. With an impressive victory at UFC 150, either fighter could put themselves back in the running for a title shot.
Before Saturday’s event, which will take place at the Pepsi Center in Denver, the fighters will hit the scales on Friday at 6 p.m. ET. Video of the weigh-ins will be streamed live on the above video player.
