Background
This event was to be the third meeting between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard and their second meeting for the UFC Lightweight Championship. The two met earlier this year at UFC 125: Resolution with the fight ending in a split draw, and Edgar retaining his title. Their first encounter at UFC Fight Night: Florian vs. Lauzon saw Maynard win via unanimous decision.
It was later announced on May 9 that injuries to both forced the fight to be removed from the card. Edgar suffered broken ribs, while Maynard has suffered a knee injury.[2] Anthony Pettis was originally contacted about replacing Edgar, but Maynard's injury prevented the possible replacement.[3]
On February 9, it was rumored that Thiago Silva had been forced from his bout with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and could be replaced by Rashad Evans. Silva stated that he was not injured and was looking forward to his bout with Jackson. Instead, information surfaced that Silva may have failed a pre-fight drug screening at UFC 125, which could result in his suspension.[4] It was then announced that the proposed Rashad Evans bout was never close to being signed, and that Rampage would face Matt Hamill.[5]
Former Sengoku Middleweight Champion Jorge Santiago has confirmed he has signed a contract with the UFC and will return to face Brian Stann at this event.[6][7]
On April 20th, Brad Pickett was forced to withdraw from his bout with Miguel Torres. Demetrious Johnson, who was set to fight Renan Barao on the undercard, has stepped in as Pickett's replacement while Barao will face Cole Escovedo.[8]
On April 27th, Norifumi Yamamoto was forced out of his bout with Chris Cariaso due to injury. Michael McDonald, who was scheduled to take on Nick Pace at UFC 133, has stepped in as Yamamoto's replacement.[9]
Cody McKenzie was set to fight Bart Palaszewski in this event, but an injury forced him out of the card. UFC president Dana White later announced that Gleison Tibau would step up to replace McKenzie.[10] Palaszewski was also injured and replaced by return UFC veteran Rafaello Oliveira.[11]
UFC 130 will feature two preliminary fights live on Spike TV[12], and the remainder of the preliminary bouts will stream on Facebook.[13]
