People are already salivating about this UFC 118 fight card. Why? Simply because of the possibilities. First, we're talking about a likely rematch in Boston between BJ Penn and Frank Edgar. Second, we're talking about the biggest MMA fighter vs. boxer match up in history when Randy Couture takes on James Toney.
And that's not even the tip of the iceberg on the rumored match ups. Keep reading to find out what UFC 118 is shaping up to be.
1. BJ Penn vs. Frank Edgar
The first time these two threw down at UFC 112, Edgar pulled off one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. Will he prove that the first time was no fluke? That's the question.
2. Randy Couture vs. James Toney
We've never really had a boxer of Toney's former ability mix it up in the Octagon. Of course, Couture plans on welcoming him to the grappling side of his new sport rather quickly. It will be interesting to see if Toney will be able to stay on his feet long enough to throw some hands.
3. Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard
Maynard represents the best wrestler that Florian has ever dealt with in MMA. By the same token, Florian may well represent the most well-rounded fighter that Maynard has ever come across. What we know for sure is that the winner will leave firmly in the championship mix.
