Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn

Frankie Edgar will be the next in line for B.J. Penn, UFC President Dana White told http://www.MMAFighting.com on Tuesday.

Edgar and Gray Maynard had been earmarked as frontrunners for the division’s next championship bout after Penn dismantled Diego Sanchez over five rounds at UFC 107 on Dec. 12 in Memphis, Tenn. Maynard fought Nate Diaz to a split decision at UFC Fight Night 20 on Monday in Fairfax, Va., but his performance wasn’t hailed as a contender-advancing effort, clearing the way for Edgar.

A date and venue for Penn’s fourth title defense hasn’t been announced, though the 31-year-old Hawaiian said he’d likely be fighting at a proposed event on April 12 in Abu Dhabi for the promotion’s first show in the Middle East.
