UFC president Dana White says the much sought after featherweight title fight will take place on the promotion’s Super Bowl Saturday card next year which is slated for Feb. 2, 2013, in Las Vegas. The news was first reported on FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight.”
The fight card will be called UFC 156, not UFC 157, which has been misreported by others, according to UFC officials.
Frankie Edgar (14-3-1), who will be making his UFC featherweight debut, is coming off two straight lightweight title losses to Benson Henderson earlier this year.
