PRIDE 183 and 205-pound champion Dan Henderson (22-5) will face new Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight ace Quinton Jackson (27-6), the UFC announced Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Henderson is no stranger to the Octagon, as the 36-year-old defeated Allan Goes (Pictures) and Carlos Newton (Pictures) to claim the UFC 17 middleweight tournament crown 9 years ago in Mobile, Alabama.

A date for the matchup was not announced.
