Rashad Evans vs Dan Henderson Official for UFC 161

A Light Heavyweight clash between a former Pride champion vs a former UFC champion is now set for UFC 161

In what only seems to be a matter of days since we last saw both Rashad Evans (17-3-1 MMA 12-3-1 UFC) and Dan Henderson (29-9 MMA 6-3 UFC) in the octagon and both pick up losses via decision they have agreed to enter again to face each other at UFC 161 on June 15th.

Last time out Rashad Evans lost to Antônio Rogério Nogueira in the co main event at UFC 156 in an uneventful fight. Evans will be hoping that his quick turn around and return to the Octagon will bring with it a return to the winning ways and get him back in to title contention.

Dan Henderson though will have something to say about that, Henderson who also lost in the co main event at UFC 157 to Lyoto Machida in a number 1 contenders battle in the light heavyweight division. Both fighters will want to improve on the previous performances they put in and do all they can to take the win.

This fight will be on the main card of the UFC 161 card which is headlined by the interim bantamweight title fight between Interim champion Renan Barao and Eddie Wineland and its set to go down on June 15th 2013. It is also the first time the UFC goes to Winnipeg, Canada.

The Fight card for UFC 161 currently looks like this:

Renan Barao vs. Eddie Wineland - for interim bantamweight title

Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Mauricio Rua

Jake Shields vs. Tyron Woodley

Pat Barry vs. Shawn Jordan

Stipe Miocic vs. Soa Palelei

Sam Stout vs. Isaac Vallie-Flagg

Sean Pierson vs. Anthony Waldburger

Jake Shields vs Tyron Woodley Target for UFC 161 in Canada

A Welterweight match up between one time UFC title challenger, Jake Shields 27-6-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC), and Tyron Woodley (11-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is in the works for the summer.

The fight is being targeted for a yet-unnamed event, likely UFC 161, on June 15 in Canada. A host city is not yet finalised.

Woodley who started his career a perfect 10-0 before losing to Nate Marquardt in a bout for the vacant Strikeforce Welterweight title following Nick Diaz's departure to The UFC, holds notable wins over Paul Daley and Jordan Mein, and impressed in his UFC debut where he knocked out former Bellator tournament winner, and IFL Champion Jay Hieron after just 36 second of the first round.

Shields (pictured), a former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, makes his return to Welterweight after a decision over 185-pound vet Ed Herman at UFC 150 in Denver. However the victory was later overturned when the Gracie fight team member tested positive for a banned substance.
