Michael Chandler vs. Benson Henderson: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

Benson Henderson was one of Bellator’s biggest signings to date when he inked in early 2016, but his showings inside the cage have not lived up to expectations just yet.

Benson Henderson was one of Bellator’s biggest signings to date when he inked in early 2016, but his showings inside the cage have not lived up to expectations just yet.

Henderson debuted in a welterweight title tilt, losing to Andrey Koreshkov in a clean sweep—50-45 across the board.

He returned to lightweight for a title eliminator against Patricio Freire. It was a fight he would win, but because Pitbull was injured. It was a lackluster result. Nonetheless, it was a result that put Henderson in a position to challenge for Michael Chandler’s championship.

The Bellator 165 main event is all about Henderson proving he is still one of the best lightweights in the world. Can he close out 2016 by wearing gold?

Chandler has plans to crush the former UFC lightweight champion to show he’s one of the world’s best. Which man walks out of San Jose, California? You’ll find out Saturday, but you can find out who has the edge from head-to-toe right now.

The 100th UFC Fight Night takes place in Sao Paulo, Brazil Saturday with a light heavyweight showcase.

No. 4-ranked contender Ryan Bader (22-5) takes on No. 9-ranked Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (22-7) in a rematch from September 2010.

The two originally met at UFC 119, where Bader picked up a decision victory to move to 12-0 at the time. A lot has changed for both men, and the division, since that day six years ago. Nogueira has fought only six times, going 3-3, while Bader has gone 9-5 after the victory.

Bader has been closer to a title shot than Nogueira, but neither man has yet to step foot in a UFC title bout. A loss would be detrimental to that goal.

Who comes out on top Saturday? Here is your preview into UFC Fight Night 100’s main event.

Gegard Mousasi vs. Uriah Hall 2: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

Gegard Mousasi (40-6-2) and Uriah Hall (13-7) meet at UFC Fight Night 99 this weekend in a five-round main event, but it’s not the first time the two have faced off.

In one of the most stunning upsets and finishes of 2015, Hall landed a spinning back kick that would lead to a TKO victory.

It was the biggest win in Hall’s career and jolted him up the ranks. But things have not been the same for either man since that date. Mousasi is 3-0, and Hall is 0-2 since their September 2015 meeting. Mousasi is entering title-contention territory, and Hall is in a similar position looking for a big upset to put him back in play.

Can lightning strike twice, or will Mousasi right his wrongs?

Take a look at the head-to-toe breakdown for UFC Fight Night 99’s main event.
