Ben “Smooth” Henderson is scheduled to fight UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar in the main event at UFC 144 this Sunday, February 26, 2012 (Saturday, February 25 in North America) at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. UFC 144 will be televised live via PPV. The former WEC Lightweight Champion has been on a roll since joining UFC after the UFC/WEC merger with victories over Mark Bocek in April 2011, Jim Miller in August 2011 and most recently against Clay Guida in November 2011. The last victory over Guida cemented Henderson’s spot as a top contender for Edgar’s Lightweight Championship and secured the eventual UFC 144 match-up. If Henderson is successful this weekend, he’ll become the second mixed Korean to hold the UFC Lightweight Championship with the first being highly regarded MMA veteran BJ Penn. For more on Ben, check out our March 2010 interview with him.
