Henderson returns to Middleweight for UFC 88

Written by Ghost

Dan Henderson has had a rough welcome to the UFC. With two consecutive losses, both title fights, Henderson will be looking to get back to his winning weighs. Since his next fight is at middleweight, Henderson may be making the middleweight division his home instead of splitting his ring time between the middleweight and light heavyweight division as he has done in the past.

Henderson's opponent, Palharas, made his UFC debut against the now retired Ivan Salaverry at UFC 84. Palharas is a submission fighter, finishing the majority of his fights on the ground. Palharas' grappling skills pitted against Henderson's wrestling ability could make for an exciting fight.

The rest of the card is shaping up as follows (according to MMA Weekly):

"UFC 88 Bouts (officially announced):
-Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans

UFC 88 Bouts (unannounced):
-Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares
-James Lee vs. Tim Boetsch"
