Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up to stage its first-ever mixed martial arts (MMA) event in Seoul, South Korea, which is scheduled to go down on Nov. 28, 2015, inside Olympic Gymnastics Arena.
And the promotion seems to have found its headlining act, as MMA Fighting reports that former Lightweight champion Ben Henderson is the frontrunner to take on heavy-hitting Thiago Alves in a Welterweight main event.
Good stuff.
"Smooth" made his 170-pound debut at UFC Fight Night 60 earlier this year, earning an impressive submission victory over the much larger Brandon Thatch (see it again here).
