Benson Henderson vs Josh Thomson headline UFC on FOX 10

UFC President Dana White announced the match-up at the UFC 167 post-fight press conference.

Henderson (19-3) is coming off his first loss in three years. At UFC 164 he lost his lightweight championship to Anthony Pettis via first round armbar. Prior to that loss, Henderson was riding a seven-fight winning streak and had defended his belt four times.

Thomson (20-5 1NC) is coming off a huge win against Nate Diaz at UFC on FOX 7 in April. He was coming off a split decision loss to Gilbert Melendez under the Strikeforce banner prior to the Diaz win, however many believed he had won the fight. Thomson was expected to take on Pettis for the title at UFC on FOX 9, however the champ was forced to withdraw due to injury.
