UFC 164: Henderson vs. Pettis is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on August 31, 2013, at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1][2]
Background
The main event was expected to be a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between the current champion Benson Henderson and top contender TJ Grant.[3] However, Grant was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by Anthony Pettis.[4] Henderson and Pettis met in 2010 at the final event for World Extreme Cagefighting, WEC 53. Pettis defeated Henderson via unanimous decision to win the final WEC Lightweight title in a bout that was widely praised by MMA fans and pundits alike as the fight of the year.[5]
Co-featured will be a bout between two former UFC Heavyweight Champions, Frank Mir and Josh Barnett.[6]
Juicy Couture was expected to face Quinn Mulhern at this event. However, Mulhern was forced out with a hand injury and was replaced by Al Iaquinta.[7]
Yoel Romero was expected to face Derek Brunson at this event. However, Brunson was forced out with an injury and was replaced by newcomer Brian Houston.[8] Houston ended up also getting injured and Romero was removed from the card.[9]
