“UFC 144: Edgar vs. Henderson” hasn’t generated much hoopla, but thankfully someone finally alerted the Gambling Gods that there is in fact a major mixed martial arts show jumping off this weekend in Japan.
Former WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson (Pictured) challenges reigning UFC 155-pound king Frankie Edgar for his crown in the show’s featured attraction. Henderson is pegged as a slight +105 underdog to dethrone Edgar.
“The Answer,” on the other hand, checks in just barely ahead as a -125 favorite to retain his title.
Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan hosts the Octagon’s return to the Orient. The pay-per-view airs live in North America at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
