Benson Henderson heads into a Bellator 208 clash with Saad Awad this Saturday in Uniondale, New York, on the last fight of his contract. The onetime Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder changed mixed martial arts free agency when he signed with Bellator MMA two-plus years ago. Faced with the possibility of entering free agency once again, the 34-year-old aims to prove himself worthy of one more lucrative contract before his best days are totally behind him.
“I’ll probably try to renegotiate [with Bellator], do what’s best for my family and get the best money I can on this last contract,” Henderson told Sherdog.
