The rematch is finally here. UFC lightweight champion Benson "Smooth" Henderson will have the opportunity to avenge one of only two losses in his mixed martial arts career. He faces Anthony "Showtime" Pettis at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in the challenger's hometown, Milwaukee, Wis. on Saturday.

The super rematch is the main event of UFC 164. Perhaps the most iconic move in the history of mixed martial arts in the United States took place in their first meeting.

Pettis' Showtime kick is the type of maneuver that gets kids and casual fans to take notice and possibly evolve into hardcore followers of the sport. Besides the fact that this is a battle between two of the best fighters in the world, there is something very cool about this matchup.

Pettis has as much swag as any fighter in the world. We have already seen the types of exciting strikes he's capable of. Henderson is one of the most recognizable stars in the sport, and he certainly has an axe to grind with Pettis.

This is going to be good.

The Pettis-Henderson rematch is the featured bout, but there are other compelling fights in store for MMA fans. Frank Mir and Josh Barnett will thump in the co-feature.

Barnett is making his long-awaited UFC debut. Chad Mendes and Clay Guida will almost undoubtedly deliver a crowd-pleasing affair, and the same can be said for the Ben Rothwell-Brandon Vera bout.
