How ironic it was that a fight on an event given its title for the “Resolution” it was supposed to lead to on New Years Day still hasn’t been resolved. 10 months after UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar retained his title belt after fighting to a draw with No. 1 contender Gray Maynard, the two are set to meet again for a third time at UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III this Saturday at the Toyota Center in Houston. While UFC President Dana White has done a good job of putting together a decent card that includes a UFC Featherweight title fight between champion Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian, it is the main event that will have sports betting fans around the world tuning in.

Some will be hoping that the third time is the charm for the reigning champion, who is 0-1-1 in his career against Maynard. Some felt as though the challenger deserved the belt for his pay per head efforts at UFC 125, a fight that the judge’s ruled a split-decision draw, something that rarely happens in MMA. But even though he was disappointed in not getting the chance to hold the title, Maynard has to be pleased with the fact that he will get another sports betting bonus shot. While Melvin Guillard, Clay Guida, and a number of other lightweights line up for their chance to get a shot at the title, all eyes will be on the main event at UFC 136 to see who emerges as the champion.
