UFC Fight Night 38 lineup finalized with 10 bouts on FOX Sports 1

The lineup is set for next month’s UFC Fight Night 38 event, which includes 10 bouts on FOX Sports 1 and a pair of matchups on UFC Fight Pass.

The event, which features a light-heavyweight headliner and rematch of Mauricio Rua (22-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) vs. Dan Henderson (29-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC), takes place March 23 at Ginasio Nelio Dias in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

“Shogun” and Henderson first met in UFC 139's main event in November 2011. That fight, a unanimous-decision win for Henderson, earned many “Fight of the Year” honors because of its back-and-forth nature, with each fighter taking big momentum swings and continuing to plod forward in the fourth and fifth rounds despite being visibly exhausted.

The veterans now head to Rua’s home country for the rematch. The rest of the card features a number of fellow Brazilian competitors.

Additionally, a new addition we didn’t previously report includes light heavyweights Francimar Barroso (16-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Hans Stringer (21-5-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who, in their past 20 combined fights, have suffered just one loss. The 205-pounders are scheduled to kick off the fight card.
