Benson Henderson is back.
Friday night at Bellator 196 in Budapest Hungary, the former UFC lightweight champion had his best performance in the Bellator cage, dominating former UFC standout Roger Huerta before submitting him in the second round of the main event.
Henderson, who signed with Bellator in 2016 has had a rough go of things since making the jump over to the circular cage, going 1-2 leading up to this fight with his lone win by way of injury in a bout he was likely losing. None of that bad momentum seemed to follow him into the cage on Friday though as “Smooth” lived up to his name, marking up Huerta on the feet before locking up a fight ending guillotine early in the second round.
