UFC Fight Night takes place at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea and airs in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass. The card recently lost its co-headliner when the UFC announced that heavyweight Mirko Filipovic had been provisionally suspended by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, forcing the cancellation of his matchup with Anthony Hamilton.
A former lightweight champion, Henderson made his first 170-pound appearance at UFC Fight Night in Broomfield, Colo., where he submitted Brandon Thatch with a rear-naked choke in the fourth round. Masvidal also moved to welterweight earlier this year, scoring a first-round knockout of Cezar Ferreira at “The Ultimate Fighter 21” finale.
