The UFC’s blazing events schedule has taken to the octagon to many new locations this year. On Saturday, one more will be added to the list with the first-ever event in Albuquerque, N.M. UFC Fight Night 42, which takes place at Tingley Coliseum, features one of the more compelling lineups the organization has put together lately. The most significant matchup on the card comes in the FOX Sports 1-televised main event as former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) continues his quest back to the gold with a high-risk, low-reward fight against Russian standout Rustam Khabilov (17-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC). Henderson will be one of five fighters on the card who once held or challenged for a UFC belt. With 10 of the 11 bouts on the card schedule to take place at 155 pounds or lighter, UFC Fight Night 42 is likely to have its share of fast and furious action.
