UFC 144 Edgar vs. Henderson Saturday February 25, 2012 Tokyo, Japan Saitama Super Arena
UFC 144 was the first UFC to come to Japan since UFC 29 and they bring another exciting match up with current UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar (14–1–1) and former WEX Lightweight Champion Ben Henderson (15–2). Ben Henderson won a unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar in what some would call controversial due to the number of strikes landed by Edgar, however Ben Henderson’s striking and octagon control impressed both fans and even UFC President Dana White.
