Bloody Elbow is the place to be for live fight night and post-event coverage of UFC Fight Night: Hendricks vs. Thompson on Saturday, February 6th in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event pits Johny Hendricks against Stephen Thompson in a welterweight clash.
Tomorrow night’s card was supposed to be UFC 196: Werdum vs. Velasquez II, but with both men off the card, this PPV is now simply a UFC Fight Night on FS1. The night’s main event is a welterweight contest between former champion Johny Hendricks and Stephen Thompson, with a co-main event between heavyweight knockout artist Roy Nelson and standout wrestler Jared Rosholt. Also of note, the leading Fight Pass preliminary bout pits Mickey Gall against Mike “The Truth” Jackson, with a shot at CM Punk on the line only for Gall.
