UFC 130 main event scratched - UFC - Yahoo! Sports
Training injuries to both lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and challenger Gray Maynard have scratched what was supposed to be the main event for UFC 130.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Matt Hamill now takes on top billing, with Frank Mir vs. “Big Country” Roy Nelson becoming the co-main event for the May 28 showcase at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“Frankie Edgar is injured and will not be fighting, and Gray Maynard is injured, too,” UFC president Dana White said Monday afternoon. “Frankie hurt his back and ribs and Gray hurt his knee.”
According to sources close to both camps, Edgar suffered several broken ribs in training. Maynard suffered a knee sprain that was not believed to be as serious as Edgar’s injuries.
“If everything goes right, maybe we can do the fight in August or September,” White said.
