Henderson is coming off of a split-decision loss to Lyoto Machida back at UFC 157 earlier this year in Anaheim, California.
Evans is also coming off a loss to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira from their clash back at UFC 156. It will be interesting to see which fighter will move closer to a title shot following June 15.
