UFC president Dana White said there is a possibility that fans could see a rubber match between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard,  according to FightersOnly.com. While the idea is still unlikely at the moment, White said he expects to see both competitors prepared to fight when the time comes. "When Frankie and Gray get healthy we will make that fight as soon as possible," White told FightersOnly.com. "Hopefully they are both healed in eight weeks and we can do it.” Both Edgar and Maynard are currently out of action nursing their injuries. Maynard recently had surgery on his knee—which was plaguing him for a couple of months—and is expected to resume training soon. But Edgar's injury is more severe and could require more time to recuperate. The UFC lightweight champion is recovering from a nagging back injury. In fact, Edgar hoped to fight through the injury, but he was forced to pull out of his title bout at UFC 130. Edgar and Maynard have met on two previous occasions. The more recent encounter saw both men fight to a draw and an immediate rematch was tentatively scheduled for UFC 130. With this announcement from White, anticipation for a third bout between the two lightweights could not be any higher.
