The Ultimate Fighting Championship goes to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the first time, as UFC 164: Henderson vs. Pettis 2<\/em><\/strong> takes place at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday, August 31, 2013.<\/p>\n

The main event features one of the most anticipated rematches in the UFC, as Benson Henderson fights Anthony Pettis for the second time\u2014and this one is for the UFC Lightweight Championship. Many remember Pettis\u2019 \u201cShowtime Kick\u201d in their first bout that gave him the win and the WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) Lightweight Championship.<\/p>\n

If Henderson is looking to be the first lightweight to defend his title four-straight times, he’s going to have to beat the last person who defeated him.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event, Frank Mir welcomes Josh Barnett back to the UFC, who returns for the first time in 11 years. Two featherweight bouts featuring four of the top-ten fighters in the 145-lb division are set to take place, as number-one ranked Chad Mendes faces number-nine Clay Guida and number-ten Eric Koch battles number-seven Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

Also, Jamie Varner goes against Gleison Tibau in the preliminary card\u2019s main event.<\/p>\n

Betting on Anthony Pettis for UFC 164<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Anthony<\/a>Being the last WEC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis should have had his title shot in 2011, but a myriad of injuries set him back. Now that he’s finally getting his shot, it’s a fortunate coincidence that he will face the person he beat for the WEC title.<\/p>\n

He will be fighting \u00a0for the UFC belt in front of his hometown. The man they call \u201cShowtime\u201d has created his own highlight reel with four wins out of his last five fights: the kick to the body that finished Donald Cerrone, the head kick that knocked Joe Lauzon out, and of course, his \u201cShowtime\u201d kick against Henderson in their first bout that has found its way into countless UFC highlight packages.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee-based fighter has demonstrated a dynamic, unique and unorthodox style that often confuses his opponents. His athleticism gives him the edge in every fight. Although coming off a knee injury, he has plans to beat Henderson and become champion. Bet on Anthony Pettis at Top Bet sportsbook<\/span><\/a>\u00a0once odds are released.<\/p>\n
