Frankie Edgar gets UFC rematch with Ben Henderson

Ten days later, and we're right back in the same place: Frankie Edgar fighting Ben Henderson with the UFC lightweight title fight on the line.

Edgar lost the belt to Henderson at UFC 144 in Japan on Feb. 25 in a tough five-round fight. Henderson was given the unanimous decision in a closely scored bout. Immediately after that fight, the topic switched to whether or not Edgar should get an immediate rematch against Henderson or drop down to featherweight and challenge Jose Aldo for his title at 145 pounds.

Twitter solved everyone's problems Tuesday evening.

"Rematch anyone??.......it's on!! Thanks to @danawhite @lorenzofertitta. Me and Henderson 2. Here we go!!" Edgar tweeted.

UFC president Dana White followed it up with this tweet: "Frankie Edgar and Ben Henderson rematch will be this summer."

No specific date has been announced yet.

Earlier Tuesday at the UFC on FOX 3 press conference at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, White said he had planned to "figure it out" with Edgar in a few hours.

Edgar (14-1-1) is no stranger to rematches. He won the title from B.J. Penn in April 2010 then made his first defense against Penn four months later. He next defended his title against Gray Maynard on New Year's Day 2011, fought to a draw and rematched him eight months later.

The news of the Edgar-Henderson rematch leaves Anthony Pettis in a familiar position: on the outside looking in. When the WEC was absorbed by the UFC at the start of 2011, their lightweight champion Pettis was promised a title unification bout against the winner of Edgar-Maynard. That fight never happened, and Pettis lost a bout to Clay Guida last June.

Two wins later, including most recently at the UFC card in Japan, and Pettis was talked about as the next title contender. Looks like "Showtime" was pushed back another few minutes.
