On paper, UFC 150 could be one of the best pay-per-view events of the year.
It may not have the star power of a marquee event to make casual fans excited, but it is a very good card with a sure-to-be-great main event featuring Benson Henderson defending the UFC lightweight championship against Frankie Edgar.
In order to get you ready for the big event, here is a preview of the show, including a look at start times for the preliminary and main card. Plus, we will take a look at what to expect from the main event.

Main Event Preview
Henderson and Edgar had a memorable battle at UFC 144 in February. It was not the best fight of the year, or anything like that, but these two always manage to bring the best out of their opponents. Putting them together is like a gift from the mixed martial arts gods.
Henderson is a difficult matchup for Edgar because of his size. I know everyone is bigger than Edgar, but Henderson is so much longer than the former champion. On paper it doesn’t appear that way, as Henderson is only three inches taller, with two more inches of reach to play with.
Edgar can’t stand with Henderson if he wants to win. He needs to figure out a way to wrestle Henderson to the ground and keep him there, which is a problem because of the size difference.
I would never sell Edgar short, but I don’t see a way he wins this fight. It will probably go five rounds and be a great fight.
