Jon Jones defends his 205-pound crown against Dan Henderson this September...After taking down Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Lyoto Machida, and Rashad Evans in succession, UFC light heavyweight boss Jon "Bones" Jones will look to add another high-profile notch to his belt when he defends his title against former two-division PRIDE champion Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 151 on September 1st.
UFC President Dana White announced the news Wednesday evening.
“Verbal agreements are in for one of the biggest fights of the year, as Dan Henderson, one of the most accomplished fighters in MMA history, will attempt to dethrone reigning UFC world light heavyweight champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones at UFC 151 in Las Vegas,” said White.
