Let's have a brief moment of silence for the ill-fated UFC 196.
...
Now then, it's time to get hyped for this Saturday night's (Feb. 6, 2016) replacement event, UFC Fight Night 82: "Hendricks vs. Thompson," which takes place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, live on FOX Sports 1.
It even has its own "Countdown" preview special (see above).
Headlining the Super Bowl weekend fight card will be former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, who continues his march back toward the 170-pounds strap -- assuming history doesn't repeat itself -- by trading blows with division "Wonderboy" Stephen Thompson.
In the UFC Fight Night 82 co-main event, Roy Nelson tries to keep himself in the heavyweight discussion against venerable wrestling standout Jared Rosholt. Elsewhere on the card, Rafael Cavalcante and Ovince Saint Preux bang it out for light heavyweight bragging rights.
