The winner of this Saturday’s event at UFC 118 between lightweights Kenny “KenFlo” Florian and Gray “The Bully” Maynard will get a title shot at the UFC lightweight belt, UFC President Dana White recently announced at the pre-press conference yesterday in Boston.

After losing to former UFC lightweight champion BJ “The Prodigy” Penn, Kenny Florian has redeemed himself by scoring two straight wins against the likes of Clay “The Carpenter” Guida and Takanori Gomi. “KenFlo” has won 8 of his 9 fights and is looking for another shot at the lightweight title.

While the undefeated Maynard holds a seven fight winning streak and has notable wins against the likes of Roger Huerta, Jim Miller, current UFC lightweight champ Frankie Edgar and Nate Diaz.

Will Florian get another chance at the lightweight title? Or will “The Bully” bully him in the Octagon?
