Ben Henderson and Rafael dos Anjos scored impressive finishes at UFC Fight Night 42, and they are now scheduled to battle in a five-round fight.

The UFC announced on Wednesday that former UFC lightweight champion Henderson and top contender dos Anjos will headline the UFC Fight Night card in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Aug. 23.

Henderson (21-3) finished an opponent for the first time under the UFC banner when he tapped Rustam Khabilov in the fourth round of the UFN 42 main event in Albuquerque, N.M. Henderson, a former WEC and UFC lightweight champion, has won 19 of his last 21 fights.
