UFC President Dana White is never done tweaking and the latest example is his addition of Daniel Cormier vs Dan Henderson as the UFC 173 co-Main Event.
This fight was in discussions for a UFC 175 co-main event slot but that was recently occupied by Ronda Rousey. It only makes sense for Cormier to take the fight on shorter notice so he doesn’t have to be an understudy on that fight card. Dan Henderson isn’t the fighter he used to be but it’ll let Cormier stay active at his 205 lb weight until he gets a shot at World Champ Jon Jones or a #1 contender match against Alexander Gustaffson.
UFC 173 will take place on May 24th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nv.
