- UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson (19-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Canadian title challenger T.J. Grant (21-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) have been tapped as headliners of UFC 164.
UFC officials announced the bout.
UFC 164 takes place Aug. 31 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Henderson is ranked No. 1 and Grant No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com lightweight rankings.
Henderson brings an impressive seven-fight win streak into the event, and all of the victories have come in the UFC following his move from the WEC. All seven wins have come by decision, including two with a split result. Overall, the 29-year-old champ is an incredible 17-1 in his past 18 fights. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ufc/2013/06/06/benson-henderson-tj-grant-lightweight-title-ufc-164-headliner/2395385/ | |

| Agreed.
Grant has looked like an absolute animal lately.
I would not be shocked to see him pull off a huge upset in this fight. | |

| I like both guys, but lately Grant has absolutely brought it. Bendo hasn't not brought it ,but he's kind of fallen in to this habit of becoming lackadaisical which I think Grant could exploit . | |
