Official: Hendo vs. Lyoto Machida at UFC 157

After months of speculation on who Dan Henderson would face next and when, the UFC has made Hendo vs Machida official for UFC 157 in Anaheim, CA on Feb 23rd. Many fans were still clammering to see Hendo face UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones for the title as was supposed to happen at UFC 151 when Hendo sustained an injury forcing him to pull out of the fight. UFC 157 will most likely serve as a number one contender match with the winner earning a shot at Jon Jones for the title. This matchup is interesting in that Machida is the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Henderson is the former Pride Welterweight (183lbs) and Middleweight (205lbs) Champion. The matchup also pits Henderson’s devasting one punch power against Machida’s elusive movement. Stay tuned for more details on this fight.
