Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard cancelled due to both fighters carrying injuries

Article by Rob Billington. 
If you guys haven't heard already, Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard was cancelled yesterday due to both fighters carrying injuries. Sucks balls eh? I was looking forward to this fight, and I know many others were too.

You can check out the story here: MMA fighting

"According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Edgar had the more serious injury of the two, suffering two broken ribs during training, while Maynard suffered a knee injury."

Sad Face, It has been reported that we will see this fight get rescheduled to sometime in fall. The sooner the better, this fight will be epic.

Rumor also has it that former WEC lightweight champ: Anthony Petits, was asked to step in due to Maynard wanting to fight on with his injury. You can check out that story here.

So that's that, there will be no new fight added to the card, instead we will see "Rampage" Jackson v Matt Hamill as the main event. That fight could be a snooze fest, it all depends on if 'Page can stuff Matt's takedowns.
