This one should be fun.
An interesting welterweight scrap is headed to UFC 196, as former division champion Johny Hendricks has been booked to take on Stephen Thompson on February 6, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Hendricks is coming off terrible weight-cutting issues at UFC 192, which forced him to bow out of his much-anticipated bout against Tyron Woodley in Houston, Texas. Prior to that, "Bigg Rigg" defeated Matt Brown at UFC 185 earlier in the year.
As for Thompson, he was last seen knocking Jake Ellenberger's block off this past summer, collecting his fifth straight victory in the process.
