UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Diaz is expected to occur at the KeyArena on December 8, 2012 in Seattle, Washington. The event is headlined by a lightweight title bout between champ Benson Henderson and No. 1 contender Nate Diaz.
After losing the TUF 13 Finale as a welterweight, Nijem returned to the lightweight division to win two straight inside the Octagon. Nijem fought this past June, stopping C.J. Keith by first round TKO at UFC on FX 4, while winning a unanimous decision against Danny Downes at UFC 137.
Proctor was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the TUF 15 series and then went on to debut with the UFC at the shows finale. Proctor would finish fellow cast member Jeremy Larsen at the TUF 15 Finale by first round TKO, extending his win streak to four bouts.
