This is getting confusing..........
The UFC 75 main event between UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson (27-6 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and PRIDE welterweight and middleweight champion Dan Henderson (22-5 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will, in fact, be a title fight.
Today on
The Stephen Quadros Show, Quadros and and co-host Aaron Crecy passed along a report — citing Zuffa LLC (parent company of the UFC) sources — that the fight would be for the UFC light heavyweight championship.
Earlier today, we passed along a report from the
Orange County Register in which UFC president Dana White was quoted as saying that the fighters’ belts would not be on the line. With the update from Quadros, though, yesterday’s report now seems erroneous — possibly the result of a simple misunderstanding.
And now, even though the fight appears it won’t unify the titles as White first mentioned, the bout reportedly will have the UFC’s 205-pound title on the line.
Henderson, it seems, will retain the PRIDE belt regardless of the fight’s outcome.
