The UFC hits Denver on Saturday night for UFC 150. Headlining the fight card will be a title bout in the UFC’s lightweight division, as champion Benson Henderson puts his title on the line against the man he defeated for the belt, Frankie Edgar.
Henderson wrested the title from Edgar at UFC 144, earning a unanimous decision victory. The fight was also declared “Fight of the Night,” earning each fighter a tidy $65,000 bonus.
Saturday’s co-main event will also feature a pair of lightweights, as former training partners Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard square off. If you think the friendship between the two fighters is going to cause them to hold back, you can think again: both fighters have made it clear that they will be looking to end this fight early.
UFC 150 will feature eight other bouts, including Jake Shields’ return to the middleweight division as he faces off against Ed Herman.
