On Saturday, June 7, 2014, UFC Fight Night 42 will hit the airwaves live from the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the main event of the evening, former UFC Lightweight champion Benson “Smooth” Henderson will look to make it two wins in a row as he squares off with once-beaten prospect Rustam “Tiger” Khabilov. Khabilov has yet to taste defeat inside the Octagon and is riding an impressive six-fight win streak, but Henderson is a massive step up in competition for him. If Khabilov wants to earn a shot at the belt Henderson once held, he’s going to need a career performance here.

In the semi-main event, local favorite Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez will square off against Britain’s Ross “The Real Deal” Pearson in a featured Lightweight matchup. Sanchez has dropped three of his last four and five of his last eight, so it is entirely possible that he is fighting for his roster spot here. Pearson is a tough, versatile opponent, so Sanchez is gonna need to perform flawlessly to avoid an embarassing third straight loss. The rest of the card features John Dodson squaring off with John Moraga and Rafael dos Anjos taking on Jason High.
