Boetsch in a bout that could decide his future or lack thereof in MMA.
Since a come-from-behind win over Mauricio Rua in March 2014, Henderson has posted an 0-2 record. The former Pride FC champion has also lost in five of his past six outings. At 44 years old, that could signal that the end is nearing.
After becoming a middleweight contender with wins over Yushin Okami and Hector Lombard, Boetsch has settled into the lower end of the Top 15 by alternating wins and losses over his past five appearances. Coming off a loss, though, Boetsch may need a win over Henderson in order to maintain his current No.
