UFC Fight Night 77 is scheduled for Saturday, November 7.
Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort square off in the night's main attraction. The men have met up twice before, each one claiming a victory.
Henderson comes into the rubber-match on the heels of a first-round knockout over Tim Boetsch. But despite the recent triumph, Henderson is just 2-5 over his last seven outings.
For Belfort, Henderson marks his first challenge since an abortive middleweight title run ended in May. The Brazilian was defeated by Chris Weidman, shattering a string of three victories. Since rejoining the UFC in 2011, Belfort has compiled a 6-3 record, each loss coming against a champion.
In the co-main event of the evening, Glover Teixeira meets wrestling powerhouse Patrick Cummins. Teixeira rebounded from back-to-back losses by defeating Ovince St-Preux back in August. Likewise, Cummins won his most recent match, an August turn against Rafael Cavalcante.
