The UFC Fight Night card scheduled for Broomfield, Colo. on Feb. 14 will feature a main event at welterweight between Benson Henderson and Brandon Thatch.
Henderson is a former lightweight champion who is moving up a weight division on short notice, as he competed just a few weeks ago at 155 lbs., taking a loss to Donald Cerrone. Now, he faces the challenge of fighting at 170 lbs., and he is doing it against Thatch, who will likely be much bigger than Henderson come fight time.

For his part, Thatch is also coming off a long layoff, as he basically missed all of 2014 while on the sidelines. Last August, he was scheduled to fight Jordan Mein, but a broken toe put him on the shelf. Thatch would be right back on track with a win here, as he was able to run his UFC record to (2-0) with two first round stoppages before the injury. Thatch went from a tough match against a guy with a similar profile of an up and comer to fighting a big name who may be vulnerable in a new weight class.
