At UFC 150, Benson Henderson and Frankie Edgar will meet for a second time to determine the world’s best lightweight fighter. After having to grant rematches to B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard during his reign as champion, Edgar was given an immediate rematch of his own following a narrow decision loss to Henderson in February.
Since losing his WEC lightweight title in the final fight of the promotion’s history, Henderson has been a man on a mission, defeating Mark Bocek, Jim Miller and Clay Guida in his first three Octagon appearances to earn his first shot at Edgar.
Edgar, meanwhile, became recognized as one of the better lightweights in MMA history by withstanding wars against Penn and Maynard to tie the record for most consecutive 155-pound title defenses in UFC history.
Saturday’s event will also feature another important lightweight tussle, as former training partners Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard will go to battle in what should be an exciting matchup. Cerrone and Guillard were long-time teammates at Jackson’s MMA before Guillard decided to move his camp and join the Blackzilians in Florida.
To promote UFC 150, which will be held at the Pepsi Center in Denver, a pre-fight press conference will be held on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. Event headliners Henderson, Edgar, Cerrone and Guillard will likely join UFC president Dana White for the presser.
Video of the press conference will be streamed live on the above video player. After the presser, stay tuned to Bleacher Report MMA for all the latest on UFC 150 and the rest of your MMA needs.
