UFC president Dana White, at Wednesday’s press conference in Boston, confirmed that the winner between Kenny Florian and Gray Maynard at UFC 118 on Saturday night would get a shot at the UFC lightweight title.

Just who that shot will be against remains to be seen.

Current champion Frankie Edgar is putting his belt on the line at UFC 118 against the man he defeated to earn it, B.J. Penn. The immediate rematch comes after a close, but unanimous, decision at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi earlier this year.
