In the Lightweight Championship bout, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter BJ Penn will try to defend his title against Frank Edgar. In this match, I think BJ Penn has a great advantage over Frank Edgar. BJ Penn is already a veteran of UFC notwithstanding that he is a winner of the World Jiu Jitsu Championship in 2000 in the black belt category. In fact, he is currently ranked by mixed martial arts authority Sherdog as the current number 1 Lightweight fighter in the world.
Meanwhile, Frank Edgar's experience in UFC is not that extensive compared to BJ Penn. Although he has only lost one fight in its entire career as a UFC mixed martial arts fighter, he is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
On the other hand, for the Middleweight Championship bout, Anderson Silva will face Demian Maia to defend his title. Anderson Silva currently holds the record for longest active winning streak in the UFC and the record for the longest winning streak in UFC history with his 10 consecutive wins.
Meanwhile, his opponent is a novice fighter compared to him. His last UFC fight was UFC 109 defeating Dan Miller via unanimous decision.
