After an electrifying battle in February, the lightweights Ben henderson e Frankie Edgar return to the octagon, this Saturday (11), in the main fight of UFC 150, an event that will be held in Denver, in the United States.
In the first duel between the athletes, Bendo was superior after 25 minutes of competition and took the belt that was in Edgar's possession. However, the former champion does not agree with the result and wants to regain the category title.

“I was the best in the last fight and I want to do it again, that's why I asked for a rematch”, he said. “Winning this belt for the second time would be like the first time and that's what I want to do”, added Edgar.
In turn, Henderson, who will put the lightweight belt on the line for the first time, does not want to give up the division title and hopes to repeat his performance from his first fight against Frankie.
“I feel like a lightweight champion and I’m going to defend for the first time. I want to remain champion for a long time, I don't think about anything other than that.”, said the champion.
The UFC 150 fight program also features other attractions, such as the duel between Donald Cerrone against Melvin Guillard in the second most important fight of the show, as well as names like Jake Shields, Yushin Okami and Ed Herman, three of the toughest middleweights in the organization.
