Fight Day Live UFC 164: Henderson vs Pettis live UFC 164 Saturday, August 31 2013.
All the major players participating in Saturday’s “UFC 164: Henderson vs. Pettis II” extravaganza will be hitting the podium today inside Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Stream Thursday’s pre-fight press conference live right here on 5thRound.com starting at 2PM ET/11AM PT.
Henderson defends his throne against Pettis in Saturday night’s featured attraction.
The pay-per-view broadcast begins live at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
We will never forget that night because of the Showtime Kick. Try as he might to downplay the impact of the moment when Anthony Pettis launched himself off the cage, UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson will never forget that instant, or that night, because it is the only true blemish in a WEC and UFC career that has otherwise flirted with perfection.
And now, just under three years later, we're getting the chance to see Henderson and Pettis run it back. In a way, the underlying theme of UFC 164 is one of redemption, as Henderson will get his chance to set the record straight.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett, once booted from the organization in a cloud of drugs, failure and shame, returns as the not-so-prodigal son to continue a career largely hidden from the American public eye over the last decade.
And Brandon Vera returns to one of the divisions he promised to rule with an iron fist. Things didn't work out in his favor, of course, and now he struggles to remain a professional fighter.
It's time for the UFC 164 edition of my predictions you can take to the bank. I'll recommend monetary plays, but only if I see value in the betting odds for each fight. But even if I don't see value in a particular line, I'll still give you my prediction for each fight, and I hope you'll do the same for me in the comments below.
Fair warning: You might want to keep your wallet firmly in your pocket for this one, at least when it comes to the main card.
You never want to see a fighter injure himself and lose the opportunity for the biggest fight of his career. But there will be another day for T.J. Grant, the workmanlike Canadian who used 2012 and 2013 as his personal violence-splayed canvas on the way to earning a title shot. Right now, it's all about adding another chapter to what may eventually become a long story between Henderson and Pettis.
Will Henderson erase any memory of the "Showtime kick," or will Pettis dazzle us all with a new technique that manages to overshadow one of the most memorable strikes to ever grace a highlight reel?
It's worth noting the nostalgia doesn't end with the main event. Two of the sport's grittiest veterans will square off as Frank Mir and Josh Barnett go toe-to-toe in the evening's co-main event.
And just think: this will all be taking place when the result of Condit vs. Kampmann II will still be fresh in our minds. So many bouts in so little time.
Super fight week, indeed.
It's easy to get a bit overwhelmed as to the specifics. Thankfully, Bleacher Report has you covered with an in-depth guide as to the what, when, where and how of UFC 164 on Saturday night.
