BOSTON (AP) — Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn are ready to do it again.
Edgar stunned the mixed martial arts world four months ago in Abu Dhabi, when he upset the heavily favored Penn to win the lightweight title at UFC 112. The everyman from New Jersey stole the show in the UFC’s first foray into the Middle East and at its first event outdoors.
Edgar and Penn are headed back inside on Saturday night for the rematch. The fight is the main event of UFC 118 from the TD Garden, marking the UFC’s first trip to Boston.
In the co-main event, former boxing champion James Toney makes his first appearance inside the cage when he fights Hall of Famer Randy Couture.
