Johny Hendricks The UFC has announced a major shakeup in the plans for the welterweight division, as one fight has gone from three rounds to five and another title fight has been scrapped. UFC officials today announced that with Tarec Saffiedine out of UFC Fight Night 60, a main-card matchup between Brandon Thatch and Stephen Thompson has been promoted to the evening’s main event and will now serve as a five-round affair. Meanwhile, while former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks was expected to complete his trilogy with current champ Robbie Lawler later this year, “Bigg Rigg” will instead face Saffiedine’s original opponent, Matt Brown , at UFC 185. UFC Fight Night 60 takes place Feb. 14 at 1STBank Center in Broomfield, Colo.
