On Tuesday, it was announced a lightweight scrap between former champion Benson Henderson (pictured) and Rafael dos Anjos will headline the UFC’s return to Tulsa.

Henderson is just 10 days removed from his submission victory over Rustam Khabilov. “Smooth” is victorious in nine of his past 10 outings.
Dos Anjos has won six of his last seven tangos. He TKO’d Jason High the same night Henderson tapped the Russian.
No word if the show will be made available for live viewing via UFC Fight Pass, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2 or some combination of the three.
