Former Oklahoma State wrestlers Johny Hendricks and Jared Rosholt will compete Saturday at UFC Fight Night 82 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Hendricks (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC), a former UFC Welterweight Champion, will headline the the event in a five-round welterweight bout against five-time kickboxing world champion Stephen Thompson (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC).The fight was originally scheduled to be in the co-main event, but the UFC Heavyweight Championship rematch between current champion Fabricio Werdum and former two-time champion Cain Velasquez was cancelled due to injuries from both fighters. With no other main event options, the UFC canceled the pay-per-view UFC 196 and the event became a Fight Night card on Fox Sports 1.
