The hoopla that has surrounded “UFC 112: Invincible” will finally be coming to an end today in Abu Dhabi. If you’re worried the extravaganza won’t live up to expectations, don’t forget you can always lay money on the scraps to make sure your blood gets pumping.
Lightweight Frankie Edgar enters his first title bout as a 5-to-1 underdog against reigning champion BJ Penn.
Penn steamrolled the relentless Diego Sanchez in his last outing at UFC 107 in December. The Hawaiian once again dazzled fans with his superior skills en route to earning the TKO victory.
It was his fifth straight win in the 155-pound division.
Speaking of dominance, middleweight king Anderson Silva is an 8-to-1 favorite to capture his seventh consecutive title defense when he meets grappling specialist Demian Maia in the night’s featured bout.
Don’t forget it’s an early start today, with the live pay-per-view broadcast beginning at 1PM ET/10AM PT. However, a replay will also be made available tonight during the UFC’s customary 10PM ET/7PM PT time slot.
