BOSTON – The first win wasn’t a fluke, and UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar couldn’t make it any clearer.
In a rematch that played out much like their first meeting – a UFC 112 fight in which Penn lost his belt – Edgar outclassed the once-dominant champ using a stick-and-move game plan and frequent takedowns to earn a lopsided unanimous-decision victory.
The title fight headlined Saturday’s UFC 118 pay-per-view event, which took at Boston’s TD Garden as part of the UFC’s Massachusetts debut.
