UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson 3 fight card

For the 3rd (and probably) final time, Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson will fight each other. Henderson won the first one in PRIDE, with Belfort failing his drug test afterwards. Belfort evened the score in 2013 with a head kick knockout, making him the first man to ever stop Hendo with strikes. With Belfort coming off a title fight loss vs. Chris Weidman and Henderson off a brutal 1st round KO win vs. Tim Boetsch, these two will meet again, this time at 185 pounds in the UFC Fight Night main event in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In the co-main event, light heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira faces Patrick Cummins, and the main card also includes the return of bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida, who takes on Anthony Birchak.
