Benson Henderson vs. Dos Anjos is scheduled for Aug. 23 in Tulsa, OK

I guess this fight makes sense, but I really thought Khabib might face Henderson next. I wonder if the UFC brass just didn't want to put Khabib in there with someone that stands a decent chance of derailing him.

I would bet they are turning Benson around real fast to set up Benson vs Khabib on FOX 13 in Bensons home training state of AZ. I 98% guarantee he will be on that card in DEC (barring injury). I hope its against Khabib.

No worry @zarog of that. As a gigantic fan of Khabib i know no one will challenge him the man is a 2x world combat sambo champion and his whole life has been dedicated to kicking people's asses .  In no way is this a disillusional train of thought to think that my favorite fighter is unbeatable.

I like all fights very much on this card, so far.

I like this fight, but I liked the Khabib fight better. I think Curtwag might be on to something. I could definitely see the winner of this fight fighting Khabib for the #1 Contender's spot due to the Pettis/Melendez match being in December (likely either 181 (6th) or 182 (27th)). Though, that may be contingent on TJ Grant's return. If Grant's ready to go, I can see Khabib (22 wins)/Grant (5 wins) getting lined up for the #1 Contender's spot and the Henderson (2 wins)/RDA (1 win) winner taking on the winner of Green (7 wins)/Trujillo (2 wins). I also wouldn't be surprised if Myles Jury (14 wins) or the winner of Miller (2 wins)/Cerrone (3 wins) gets inserted against the Henderson/RDA winner.

Lightweight is so deep. Really wish Pettis/Melendez had not been part of the TUF cast. I know Pettis was injured, but I thought he was supposed to be ready around August. Seems like he's never healthy.

Love this fight. I don't think RDA beats Bendo, but still, should be good.

It is cool that this fight is happening, but I am wondering why this headliner in Tulsa? I am surprised that there is no Oklahoma fighter leading this card.

@hd Who's from OK? I know Hendricks is there and Cormier wrestled at OSU, but other than that I didn't think they had anybody. They're not gonna let the WW titleholder fight on a Fight Night card and they're saving Cormier for a Jones bout.

just seems like an odd choice to be honest.

I would expect Hendricks too, but I honestly think the UFC doesn't wanna "waste" his star power on a free card in no man's land. No offense to Oklahomans.

Who's deserving of main card status?

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 485 Points   |   Tied for 237th

Surely Magny vs. Garcia deserves television status over Niinimaki/Skelly. Magny's a TUF alum on a win streak while Garcia's still undefeated in the UFC. Compare that to Niinimaki's 1-1 record and Skelly's 0-1 and I don't understand this.

I think the best fight on this card will be Reis/Elliott. Not enough star power to put on the main telecast though.
