Penn vs Edgar at UFC 118 in Boston?

Fighters Only Magazine is reporting that a rematch between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and former champ BJ Penn is looking likely for UFC 118 in Boston.

Given the controversial nature of how this fight ending, it only makes sense that Penn gets an immediate rematch, and the timing of all of this makes sense. UFC no doubt wants to put on a huge card for its debut in The Hub, and with BJ Penn being one of the company's biggest stars, this fight makes a lot of sense.

Nothing has been confirmed yet and the card is still months away, so who knows for sure if this will happen. But it makes a lot of sense for the UFC to have this rematch in Boston.
