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.

All UFC 125 post-fight award winner were recipients of a $60,000 bonus.

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.”

Brian StannLAS VEGAS — Winning streaks die hard in the UFC. Just ask Chris Leben, who thought he was about to join the middleweight title picture with a fourth straight win on Saturday night, only to find himself splayed across the canvas after Brian Stann was through with him.

While Stann was once a WEC champion, the knockout win over Leben was something of a star-making performance, a violent announcement of himself as a potential contender.

It’s a division that needs more talent, and beating Leben at UFC 125 will definitely open some eyes about Stann’s potential.

Afterward, Stann said he hoped the KO was the start of a big 2011, with the goal of breaking on to the list of elite middleweights during the calendar year.
