Pettis and Henderson will complete the trilogy on Karate Combat 43

Two former UFC lightweight champions Anthony Pettis And Benson Henderson will hold the third part of their confrontation on December 15 in the main event of the Karate Combat 43 tournament in Las Vegas, USA. The fight will take place in the weight category up to 77 kilograms and will consist of three rounds.

Pettis, who handed Henderson two losses in 2010 and 2013, is in a clear decline. Since leaving the UFC, Showtime has only one win and four losses under the PFL banner. In April, the American made his debut in professional boxing, defeating legendary compatriot Roy Jones Jr. on points.

As for Henderson, he retired from MMA in March after losing by first-round submission to Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov. Prior to this, he was on a two-fight winning streak.
