At UFC 150, Benson Henderson will begin his quest to become the greatest lightweight ever by attempting to defeat a fighter who could arguably lay claim to that title, Frankie Edgar.
Saturday’s meeting between Henderson and Edgar will mark the second time the lightweights have clashed, as Henderson was able to dethrone Edgar from the top of the 155-pound division in February. However, a narrow decision prompted the UFC to grant Edgar an immediate rematch, which he had given to both B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard during his championship reign.
In addition to the main event title fight, UFC 150 will provide more important lightweight action in the form of a co-main event between Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard. The former training partners at Jackson’s MMA will try to jump back into title shot conversation after both competitors had rough endings to their 2011 campaigns.
Shortly after the event concludes, Henderson, Edgar, Cerrone, Guillard and several more of the night’s competitors will likely join UFC president Dana White for a post-fight press conference. A live streaming feed of the post-fight press conference will be available on the above video player.
