Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson staredown pic from UFC 161 media day in Winnipeg

It's go time.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is all set to kick off its UFC 161 pay-per-view (PPV) event this Saturday night (June 15, 2013) live from MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

"Evans vs. Henderson" will feature former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans taking on ex-PRIDE FC titleholder Dan Henderson in the main event of the evening. At stake is a possible 205-pound title shot in late 2013, depending on how quickly division kingpin Jon Jones returns to action after his toe injury.

Giggity.

Also coming nose-to-nose were heavyweight co-headliners Roy Nelson and Stipe Miocic. "Big Country" is hoping to go out with a bang, since UFC 161 marks the final fight on his current ZUFFA contract. Miocic, meanwhile, would love to use "Big Country" as a stepping stone into the proverbial "mix."

And let's throw in Alexis Davis vs. Rosi Sexton just for good measure (via Esther Lin for MMA Fighting):

Should be a wild night of fights.
