Henderson Steps Up for Broomfield Main Event

Eager to get back in the Octagon after his controversial decision loss to Donald Cerrone last month, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson will make his UFC welterweight debut on February 14 when he steps in for the injured Stephen Thompson against Brandon Thatch in the UFC Fight Night main event in Broomfield, Colorado.

Henderson was scheduled to face Jorge Masvidal on April 4 in Fairfax, Virginia.  A new opponent will be found for Masvidal.
