UFC 136 in Houston will be one of the deepest cards of the year. When a fight between Demian Maia and Jorge Santiago can't make the main card, you know things are stacked. With two title fights on a top and a probable number one contenders middleweight matchup as your top three fights, it's hard to go wrong. Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar will face off for the UFC lightweight title in the main event, while Jose Aldo will defend his UFC featherweight title against Kenny Florian in the co-main. Here's how the whole card breaks down (the preliminary card can be viewed after the jump):
