The UFC will be heading to Albuquerque, NM for the first time in it's 20 year existence, June 7th. The event will be a Fight Night Card headlined by former UFC/WEC Lightweight Champion, Benson "Smooth" Henderson taking on Russian standout Rustam Khabliov in a 5-round fight.
Former champ, Benson Henderson, wants to prove himself against the rising contender, Khabilov, so that he can prove that his controversial decision win over Josh Thomson was not a fluke. A win for Khabilov will get him the respect that he deserves and join the league of contenders vying for a shot at the title. It will not be an easy fight for either man. It is sure to be an entertaining fight and definitely main event worthy on a Fight Night card. It will be interesting to see if we see any of Greg Jackson's fighters on the card. Many of the UFC's top stars fight out of Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque. UFC FLyweight John Dodson has already began to petition for a spot on the card:
