The UFC on Saturday returns to network television giant FOX for the 10th time as “UFC on FOX 10: Henderson vs. Thomson” goes down from the United Center in Chicago. It will be the third year in a row that the organization visits “The Windy City” for the first of four FOX events over the calendar year, and in the featured bout of the evening, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) attempts to get back on track after dropping his belt to Anthony Pettis when he faces Josh Thomson (20-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in a bout scheduled for 25 minutes. Even though it will be the first FOX card since August 2012 without a championship fight on tap, it is still a solid event with plenty of notable matchups, including a heavyweight contenders bout in the co-main event – Gabriel Gonzaga (16-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC), who is 4-1 since returning to the UFC in late 2012, takes on the surging Stipe Miocic (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC)
