Jeff Curran gets tune-up fight:

"WEC bantamweight contender Jeff Curran's next fight will not be under the World Extreme Cagefighting banner.

The Fight Network has learned that Curran (29-12-1) will be facing Japanese DEEP veteran Tomohiko Hori (10-7-5) at XFO 33, Curran's own promotion, on Dec. 5 in Lakemoore, Ill.

Curran, the owner and promoter of the Xtreme Fighting Organization, is coming off a razor-thin split decision loss to Takeya Mizugaki at WEC 42 in August.

Curran has compiled an impressive career resume with wins over the likes of Rafael Assuncao, Wagnney Fabiano, Charles Bennett, Antonio Carvalho and Bao Quach.

Once touted as one of the most dangerous 145-pound fighters on the planet, Curran has now made the shift to the bantamweight division where he is 0-2 in fights against Mizugaki and Joseph Benavidez.

The losses came at a tough time for Curran, who was hoping to rebound from back-to-back setbacks against Mike Thomas Brown and Urijah Faber at featherweight.

The loss to Mizugaki brought Curran's record to 0-4 in his last four fights."

WEC interim lightweight champ Ben Henderson suffered a serious eye injury and severe dehydration during his war with Donald Cerrone last weekend:

"According to Henderson's agent, Jason Genet, late in the fifth round, Donald Cerrone's heel caught Henderson in the left eye and badly injured it. That's why his eye was very swollen in the post-fight interview with Versus' Todd Harris.

Genet said that when Henderson reached the locker room, he collapsed and stopped sweating. He was then rushed to the hospital and needed four IVs to get rehydrated. Henderson was eventually moved to three different emergency rooms, and it was finally decided that he needed to see an eye specialist because it was feared that he might have a detached retina.

Thankfully, it was determined on Sunday morning that his retina was not detached and that he will not need surgery. Genet said Henderson still can't see out of his left eye, and is scheduled to see his eye specialist in Phoenix on Tuesday to get a final diagnosis."
