UFC 173 will get a boost as Dana White has made the co-main event official. Reports had been going around that we would see Daniel Cormier take on Dan Henderson and now we now that will indeed take place on May 24th in Las Vegas.
Both fighters are coming off wins as Cormier dispatched Patrick Cummins and Henderson finished Mauricio Rua. It seems that TRT for the aging Henderson will not be a factor as Dana told ESPN that Dan’s levels were checked in Las Vegas and he is good to go.
