| http://mmajunkie.com/news/18701/ufc-champ-edgar-understands-penns-hope-for-rematch-but-wants-maynard-next.mmaNewly minted UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar has one week off to savor his belt, and then it's back to work. There's a target on his back, after all. Not more than two days after Edgar (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) bested B.J. Penn (15-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC) on points this past Saturday at UFC 112, Penn said an immediate rematch is in the works and could take place within three to four months. Gray Maynard (9-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) also wants the first shot at the new champion. Edgar is not one to make a scene about who's next. But if he has to pick one, it's Maynard. "You'd have to say so," the 28-year-old Edgar told MMAjunkie.com ( www.mmajunkie.com) today. "He has a win over me." Penn, meanwhile, fell short on all three scorecards with 50-45, 48-47 and 49-46 scores at this past weekend's UFC 112 event. It's that 50-45 score that's been eating at many fans, not to mention the former champion. "It doesn't surprise me," Edgar said of Penn's wish for a second go-around. "He's a very competitive person. He feels he's the best fighter, so I'm sure he wants to prove that." | |

| Ducking? Sounds to me like he's trying to avenge his loss. He has to know BJ will be there eventually. | |

| You said it right the first time(Frankie ducking BJ) if he fights Maynard first. It would be clear cut DUCKING. That just proves to me he knows he didn't win the fight. | |

| Just like the Machida/Rua fight, this is one that deserves an instant rematch. But I won't be disappointed if Maynard gets first shot... Well, unless Maynard wins and we never get to see Penn-Edgar II with a belt on the line... | |

| The biggest bitch in this whole situation is Maynard. He wasn't ready for a title shot when BJ had the belt but magically he's immediately ready for that shot as soon as Edgar takes the belt. Fuck him, Edgar-Penn rematch and make Gray fight Kenny | |

| I agree Maynard is the only one ducking BJ.
He's willing to fight the champ which he has a win over so why not? | |

Yeah I agree, he has a weak excuse saying BJ vs Frankie was announced just a day after his fight with Diaz so he didn't have much time to request a title fight. But he also says he talked to Dana after the fight and Dana knows he wants the belt. Funny thing is that is the same conversation that Dana came away thinking Gray isn't ready. Also funny how he texted Joe Silva the momement Frankie was announced the winner. LOL I find it funny. | |

| It'll end up being BJ, where is Dana in all this? after the way he acted for Shogun you think he'd do the same for a great Champion, does Dana not like BJ or something? | |
