On Saturday, August 31, 2013, UFC 164 will hit the airwaves live from the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the main event of the evening, UFC Lightweight champion Benson “Smooth” Henderson will defend his title in a rematch against standout Anthony “Showtime” Pettis. The last time these two men met, Pettis walked away with a clear unanimous decision victory following one of the most spectacular cage-walk head kicks in the history of the sport. If Henderson wants to retain his title, he’s going to have to do a better job using his wrestling and physicality to neutralize Pettis.

In the semi-main event, Josh Barnett will square off against Frank Mir in a battle between two of the Heavyweight division’s most effective and experienced grapplers. Both of these men are former UFC Heavyweight champions, and a win here would go a long way toward putting them back in position to compete for a second title reign. The rest of the card features a Featherweight bout between Chad Mendes and Clay Guida and a Heavyweight showdown between Brandon “The Truth” Vera and “Big” Ben Rothwell.
