In a classic fight that ended without a clear winner, UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar fought to a draw with Gray Maynard at UFC 125.
The draw was disappointing but completely justifiable, as one judge scored it 48-46 for Edgar, one scored it 48-46 for Maynard and one scored it a 47-47 draw. I scored it 47-47.
Now the UFC needs to put Edgar and Maynard back into the Octagon together for a rematch as soon as possible, so that a clear lightweight champion can be determined.

No surprises here, Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard earned Fight of the Night honors following their lightweight title scrap at UFC 125 in Las Vegas.

Despite no decisive winner, the competitiveness of Saturday’s main event was an easy selection for the UFC’s post-fight award. After an incredibly lopsided first round which Edgar lost 10-8 (and arguably 10-7), the lightweight champion bounced back to win the fight on one of the judge’s scorecards. In the end the final scores were 48-46 Edgar, 48-46 Maynard and 47-47 for the split draw.

LAS VEGAS – Coming into UFC 125, the main event lightweight championship matchup between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard was not one that captured the imaginations of most MMA fans. By the time they were done, it was the talk of the MMA world.
Edgar overcame a disastrous first-round beating and staged an epic comeback to climb back into the match. After five hard-fought rounds, the pair both left unsatisfied after the cageside judges scored it a draw. Judge Marcos Rosales scored it 48-46 for the champ Edgar while judge Glen Trowbridge saw it the opposite way, Maynard 48-46. The third judge, Patricia Morse Jarman, had it 47-47.
“I did think I won the fight,” Edgar said. “First round wasn’t my round, but last four I think I won.”
“I thought it was mine,” Maynard echoed. “I thought I had the belt.”

("Whaddya mean we got four more rounds? I thought this fight was supposed to be a boring wrestlefest.")
Well, UFC 125 is in the books and to say fans got a few surprises from the card that many had written off as being an inevitable snoozefest would be an understatement.
The main event lightweight championship bout between champ Frankie Edgar and apt challenger Gray Maynard, which ended in a hotly debated split draw, delivered the goods earning well-deserved Fight of the Night honors.
According to UFC president Dana White, because the fight, which he admitted could have been stopped in the opening frame, was so close and because so many fans want to see the rubber match, he reversed the announcement made by UFC vice president Craig Borsari at the post-fight press conference that Anthony Pettis is next in line for a shot at Edgar’s crown and says he will instead be slotting in Edgar-Maynard III for some time in early 2011.

LAS VEGAS — Questions? He’s heard them all. Doubts? They come by the truckload.
Frankie Edgar is too small, they say.
The voices dimmed a bit when he beat Sean Sherk. Some others went away when he beat BJ Penn twice. But Gray Maynard was the final hurdle. Beat a guy who manhandled you the first time, they said, and maybe we’ll believe.
Edgar didn’t beat Maynard, but in some senses, what he did at UFC 125 was just as impressive. Edgar survived a first-round thrashing that would have finished most fighters, and fought back from a two-point deficit to force a draw, allowing him to retain his UFC lightweight belt.
And with that, the final doubters and questioners should be silenced.
