Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard set for UFC Fight Night 13

The card keeps getting better and better and if we don't see this fight, it's a complete joke. But finally we're getting two studs going at it. Both of these fighters have a great story and we've gotten to know them over the last year.

Frankie Edgar is a Jersey Boy who was a standout wrestler in high school and has been a force in the lightweight division. He's had great battles and most recently dismantled veteran tough guy Spencer Fisher. He is rising up the lightweight ranks in spectacular fashion.

Gray Maynard was a favorite to win TUF 5 but lost to eventual winner Nate Diaz in a fight many believed Maynard was winning when he was submitted. Maynard had a bit to prove since the taping of the show and has won his last two fights and was winning another fight that was scored a 'no contest' when he slammed Rob Emerson and knocked himself out even though Emerson tapped.

This is a must see fight and if it's not televised, shame on the UFC.
