Another event, another new market for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as this Saturday (June 15, 2013) night the Octagon touches down for the first time in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for UFC 161: "Evans vs. Henderson".

It will be the second time this year and the fourteenth time overall that the UFC travels to "The Great White North," except this time around it will be in a city the organization has yet to visit.

The main event of the evening will see two of the most accomplished fighters in mixed martial arts (MMA) history collide as former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans meets former Strikeforce and two-division PRIDE champion Dan Henderson in a three-round bout.

With the original headliner of Renan Barao vs. Eddie Wineland unfortunately falling off the card due to an injury to the interim bantamweight champion, UFC 161 marks the third of the past five fight cards in Canada to go forward without the originally announced main event.

That's just one of many facts going into this weekend's event at the MTS Centre. To find out more, simply continue reading:
