Dan Henderson and Tim Boetsch are moving on up.
The middleweight matchup between Henderson and Boetsch has been bumped up to headline UFC Fight Night 68 on June 6.
The original main event was originally Ryan Bader versus Daniel Cormier, but Cormier was moved into the UFC 187 slot to face Anthony Johnson after Jon Jones (scheduled for UFC 187) was stripped of his light heavyweight title.
Henderson enters the matchup coming off a first-round TKO loss to Gegard Mousasi in January. With a 30-13 record, Henderson has lost five of his last six fights since his stretch of four straight victories in 2010-11.
Boetsch is also hoping to recover from the loss he last suffered by submission to Thales Leites at UFC 183, which was deemed the "Fight of the Night." Failing to achieve a win streak since a four-victory run in 2012, Boetsch has dropped four of his last six bouts.
The latest UFC Fight Night 68 lineup, according to MMAJunkie.com:
- Tim Boetsch vs. Dan Henderson
- Matt Mitrione vs. Ben Rothwell
