Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar don't want to hear anything more about how they aren't main-event material. Not after the display they put on last time.

The last time the two lightweights tangled for Edgar's UFC Lightweight Championship belt, the fight community complained that Edgar-Maynard II lacked the WWE-style, trash-talking personas to sell tickets and pay-per-view purchases for UFC 125.

It was their loss, then, because Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar decided to address the doubters with their fists.

The pair gave fans an absolutely classic fight, in which Edgar crawled back from a brutal first round to force the fight to go to the judges, and ultimately retained his UFC Lightweight Championship. The fighters traded fierce blows to the head throughout the fight, and Edgar turned the tables on All-American wrestler Maynard with a ferocious slam.

The three judges all gave the match different scores, and it ended as a draw - only the third time in UFC history that a title fight ended without a decision.

At the post-fight press conference, a UFC spokesperson stated that Anthony Pettis would bring his 13-1 record up against Edgar, but Dana White stepped in shortly after, deciding that Gray Maynard deserved another shot at the belt, given the quality of the fight and the fact that he's the only guy to ever beat Edgar.

After the tremendous display of toughness and striking the two displayed last time, expect the doubters to be much quieter heading into this rematch.

The 5-foot-6 Edgar has a significant size disadvantage against the hulking, 5-foot-8 Maynard, but "The Answer's" long reach allows him to stand up and trade with guys who initially look like mismatches. He's also developed the hand speed to deliver rapid four- and five-punch combos.

He'll have those quick hands full with "The Bully" Maynard, who will be looking to overcome the tremendous disappointment of their draw at a few months back. He's yet to lose a fight in his professional career and knows how to handle Edgar's speed.

UFC 130: Edgar vs. Maynard III kicks off on Saturday, May 28th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
