A lightweight bout between rising contender Mark Bocek (9-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) and former WEC champ Ben Henderson (12-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is in the works for April's UFC 129 event.

A source close to the negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) verbal agreements are in place for the fight. Specific fighter representatives couldn't be reached.

UFC 129 is slated for April 30 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The night's main card airs on pay-per-view.

The bout marks Henderson's debut in the UFC.

This past month at the promotion-ending WEC 53 card, Henderson dropped a unanimous decision and lost his belt to Anthony Pettis. The defeat snapped a 10-fight win streak, which included a title win over Jamie Varner and a successful title defense over Donald Cerrone.

Bocek, meanwhile, looks for his fifth win in his past six UFC fights. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt's lone trip-up came to lightweight contender Jim Miller. Submission wins, meanwhile, have come over Alvin Robinson, David Bielkheden, Joe Brammer and Dustin Hazelett. The past two wins earned "Submission of the Night" bonus checks.

So much for my Sherk/Bendo fight, I like the fight, and will probably take Bocek, but I'm surprised how the WEC guys are getting mostly integrated exactly where they should be, Bendo/Bocek, Cerrone/Kelly, Roller/Tavares.....
