| B.J. Penn has another fight, despite previous KO to Yair Rodríguez. |
Former UFC champs B.J. 'The Prodigy' Penn and recent Middleweight debutant Johny Hendricks, will feature on the main card of UFC Fight Night Oklahoma, later this year in June. Penn will hopefully take on long time UFC veteran Dennis Siver, after their scheduled UFC 197 and UFC 199 bouts were cancelled. Hawaii favourite Penn, was unsuccessful in his octagon return earlier this year, with Mexican striker Yair Rodríguez finishing the former Welterweight and Lightweight champ in the second round, with a beautifully executed front kick KO. The former Nova União trainee is one of the greatest grapplers to ever step foot in the organisation, with incredible back control and a 5th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Another former 170lbs king, Johny Hendricks will make his second walk to the octagon, competing at Middleweight, when he takes on veteran wrestler Tim Boetsch. Hendricks ended his three fight losing streak last time out, when he picked up a decision victory over former Bellator Middleweight champ Hector Lombard. Boetsch was handed a hugely difficult matchup in his last fight, facing fellow Middleweight Ronaldo 'Jacaré' Souza at UFC 208, losing via a nasty Kimura in the second round. Hendricks a collegiate level wrestler out of Oklahoma, is an NCAA Divison I All American, and was once considered one of the heavies the hitters at Welterweight, starching both Jon Fitch and Martin Kampmann, but ever since his win over Kampmann, his seemingly unbearable power has been non existent.
