Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

And last but certainly not least - EA SPORTS MMA is proud to announce the fighters in the Lightweight and Welterweight classes

Fans of big-time lightweight action are in the midst of a delightful August. In just two days at UFC 118, #1 Frank Edgar will rematch #2 B.J. Penn. It's a rematch of their controversial first bout at UFC 112 when Edgar stole the title in a close decision.

At UFC 118 in August, we'll see if #1 Frank Edgar's win over #2 B.J. Penn at UFC 112 was a fluke or a precedent.

A full, in-depth preview of DREAM.15, airing LIVE on HDNet at 3:00 AM EST on Saturday, July 10th, featuring a DREAM lightweight title showdown between Shinya Aoki and Tatsuya Kawajiri. Melvin Manhoef, Gegard Mousasi, Gesias Cavalcante, and Katsunori Kikuno will also be in action.

Another division that hasn't been moving much. The only jump with any meaning is #14 Evan Dunham's leap up from #34 after beating #13 (formerly #9) Tyson Griffin at UFC 115.

After enduring a colossal shake up in April, the lightweight rankings were mostly static in May. #1 Frank Edgar will have to rematch #2 B.J. Penn for his first title defense at UFC 118. Good luck Frankie

Wow. What a month for the lightweight division. First #1 Frankie Edgar upset #2 B.J. Penn at UFC 112. Throwing the division into disarray and rocketing Edgar up six places in the rankings. Then #3 Gilbert Melendez beat up and beat down #7 Shinya Aoki (formerly #2) at Strikeforce: Nashville.

Another month, another four weeks of #1 B.J. Penn ruling over the lightweight division like a restless prince upon whom the crown weighs heavy.
