By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

Spike TV debuted a new series for the UFC in March, "In the Moment," a 30 minute look into the life of a UFC fighter, and after a successful first episode following then-Light Heavyweight Title challenger Jon Jones, they're bringing the show back this month, according to a report from MMAJunkie.com.

This time, UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar will be highlighted, narrating the look into his personal life and his preparations as he gets ready to defend his belt against Gray Maynard a second time at UFC 130 following their five round draw at UFC 125 in January.

"UFC Presents Frankie Edgar: In the Moment" debuts at 10PM ET/PT on Wednesday, May 25, following a new episode of The Ultimate Fighter 13.

Edgar and Maynard will then square off in the main event of UFC 130 on May 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Penick's Analysis: The Jones episode was a cool 30 minute piece on the challenger, and though there wasn't a ton of substance to it, the show was enjoyable and helped to give fans a look at Jones and who he is as a fighter and a person. Having the next one focus on Edgar is a good move, as even though he's the Champion he doesn't get a lot of face time or recognition. He's been underestimated a number of times in championship fights already, and he's continued to prove doubters wrong, and this will be a cool way for fans to get a better look at him ahead of the fight.
