Dan Henderson. The winner of the bout will coach opposite Michael Bisping on
Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter. Also featured on the main card is a rematch
between Mark Coleman and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, plus an expected
slugfest between two of the promotion's most exciting fighters, welterweights
Chris Lytle and Marcus Davis.
Friday
at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET, the fighters from UFC 93 will step on the scales to
officially weigh-in for their Saturday night bouts. For those of you not in Ireland,
