The five-round “Grudge Match” will start with Masvidal being spotted 15 points, according to a news release. Whoever reaches 21 points by the end of the fifth round, will be awarded a knockout. If no player achieves a KO by the end of Round 5, it will go to the scoreboard to determine the winner by decision.

The two previously competed in January at “Radio” Row for the Super Bowl in Miami. Henderson won round after round against Masvidal.

“I have the fastest KO in MMA fighting history and now I am going for the fastest KO in cornhole history,” Masvidal said.

Masvidal is coming off a unanimous decision loss to welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 251. He expressed interest in running things back with Usman, but Usman is projected to defend his title against No. 1 contender Gilbert Burns next.
