UFC 125 official for Jan. 1 with Edgar-Maynard, Carwin-Nelson co-headliners
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Oct 14, 2010 at 10:30 am ET

As expected UFC 125 will kick off the 2011 fight season when UFC lightweight champ Frankie Edgar (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) rematches Gray Maynard (10-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in a championship main event on Jan 1.

Additionally, top-ranked heavyweights Shane Carwin (12-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Roy Nelson (15-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) meet in the co-main event of the New Year's Day show.

The event, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, was formally announced during today's new "UFC Ultimate Insider" episode.

The pay-per-view event also features a recently reported lightweight bout between Clay Guida (27-11 MMA, 7-5 UFC) and Takanori Gomi (32-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC).

The latest UFC 125 card now includes:

MAIN CARD

Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (for lightweight title)
Shane Carwin vs. Roy Nelson
Takanori Gomi vs. Clay Guida
Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann*
Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim*
PRELIMINARY CARD

Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera*
Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares*
Antonio McKee vs. Jacob Volkmann*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carwin/Nelson was rumoured but now confirmed. Once again, Thiago Silva on the undercard makes me

Not to mention, considering how 126 looks so far, we're looking at two stacked PPVs, back to back.

shaping up to be a great card. I'm also disappointed that Thiago Silva is on the prelim card. He's one of my favorite fighters and I really want to see him bounce back from his loss to Rashad and injury set-backs. I don't want to miss his fight and since he's fighting another well known fighter in Brandon Vera, you would think that they would make that fight viewable. But who knows, there's a lot of time from now until then so hopefully they'll change stuff up a bit.

Man idk this sounds like it could be an easy fight for Carwin.......who knows, i'm hoping big country pulls this one out though.....and its a shame about Thiago and Vera being a Prelim, hopefully they'll show it on spike because that has serious potential to be a decent fight!

I just don't see how this does Nelson any favors, because if he loses that's an even bigger bump down the ranks.

Yeah... but taking those kind of shots from Shane Carwin would be something else(!)... it'll be interesting to see how he copes with Carwin's power - and if he can cope with it, whether Carwin will tire/gass-out in the 2nd and 3rd round. A very intruiging match-up.

This is a fantastic card... a nice New-Year's Day present, lol.
