Since he entered the UFC Fight Night in Broomfield (Colorado, USA) at the last minute to avoid the cancellation of the event and, as a bonus, he still beat Brandon thatch in a category that was not his, the former lightweight champion Ben henderson seems to have gotten excited about the idea of ​​saving cards. This Tuesday (07), upon learning of the legal problems that will prevent Quinton Rampage Jackson to take part in the co-main fight of UFC 186, Henderson offered to “give Ultimate a hand” and perform on the fight night on April 26th, in Canada.

“Hey UFC, it looks like you need help for UFC 186. I can weigh 77 kg (welterweight) at this time, does anyone qualify?” Bendo posted on his official profile on Twitter. To date, however, the only athlete to accept the fighter's challenge is not in the UFC: the Cuban based in Brazil and former member of Chute Boxe José “Pelé” Landi.

UFC 186 takes place on April 25, in Montreal, Canada. After the injured player leaves TJ Dillashaw, which would face Renan Barao for the bantamweight title, the organization announced that the flyweight belt dispute between Demetrious Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi would be the new main fight of the night. Now, the card has also been stripped of its co-main event, with Bellator's injunction preventing the fight between Quinton Rampage Jackson and Fábio Maldonado.
