UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Dos Anjos (aka UFC Fight Night 49) takes place this Saturday, August 23, 2014 at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and will feature former UFC Lightweight Champion and current #1 contender Benson “Smooth” Henderson in the main event against current #5 ranked UFC Lightweight Rafael dos Anjos. Henderson last fought this past June at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Khabilov where he defeated up and coming lightweight contender Rustam Khabilov by submission in the 4th round. This will be his third fight since losing the UFC Lightweight Championship to current champ Anthony Pettis in August of last year at UFC 164. With another victory Benson should definitely be next in line to fight the champion whomever it may be after Pettis defends the title against Gilbert Melendez later this year. Go Smooth!
