UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II is expected to take place on
August 11, 2012 at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado featuring a
lightweight title rematch between champion Benson Henderson and Frankie
Edgar.
Stone has won two straight and is 2-1 since moving the the promotion
from the WEC. Stone’s last fight took place almost a month ago at UFC
on FX 4 where he won a split decision versus Dustin Pague. Pague was the
third opponent for the event for Stone who had Edwin Figueroa and
Francisco Rivera withdraw due to injuries.
Perez debuted with the UFC last month, having stepped into the
Octagon for the first time as part of the TUF 15 Finale against John
Albert. Perez was able to finish Albert with an armbar in the first
round to win his sixth straight. The Jackson’s MMA product earned five
of those wins with various promotions in 2011 including two inside the
BAMMA cage.
