While oddsmakers listed both bouts&#8211;Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia and BJ Penn vs. Frankie Edgar&#8211;as fairly one-sided affairs, both of the challengers had the stylistic potential to achieve the upsets.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Silva-Maia, Silva has demonstrated some past vulnerability on the ground, so if Maia could find a way to bring Silva to the mat, he would stand a chance.  In the case of Penn-Edgar, Penn had run into previous trouble with strong, overwhelming wrestlers (Matt Hughes and Georges St. Pierre), so if Edgar could find a way to apply a similar degree of relentless pressure, he, too, could achieve victory by outworking Penn.<\/p>\n<p>On a card that also included Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie, one of the aforementioned upsets happened.  Which one was it?  Results follow:<\/p>\n<p>Jon Madsen b. Mostapha Al-Turk via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)<br \/>\nPaul Kelly b. Matt Veach via submission (guillotine) at 3:41 of Round 2<br \/>\nDaMarques Johnson b. Brad Blackburn via TKO (strikes) at 2:08 of Round 3<br \/>\nRick Story b. Nick Osipczak via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)<br \/>\nPhil Davis b. Alexander Gustafsson via submission (anaconda) at 4:55 of Round 1<\/p>\n<p>Mark Munoz b. Kendall Grove via TKO (strikes) at 2:50 of Round 2<br \/>\nRafael Dos Anjos b. Terry Etim via submission (armbar) at 4:30 of Round 2<br \/>\nMatt Hughes b. Renzo Gracie via TKO (strikes) at 4:40 of Round 3<br \/>\nFrankie Edgar b. B.J. Penn via unanimous decision (50-45, 48-47, 49-46) to win the UFC Lightweight Championship<br \/>\nAnderson Silva b. Demian Maia via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46) to retain the UFC Middleweight Championship<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[7,8],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Did Frankie Edgar Upset BJ Penn?; UFC 112 Results<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The most stacked foreign card to date, UFC 112 featured two title matches.
