It’s rare that a #1 vs. #8 battle provides any drama, and our latest match-up followed that pattern. Top seeded Ben Henderson easily dispatched Thugjitsu master #8 Yves Edwards to advance to the Sweet 16 with a score of 43-4. He awaits either Kenny Florian or Joachim Hansen now. Tough break for Edwards, but at least it gave us an excuse to watch the Thomson KO again (and again, and again).
Today, we launch into the 2nd half of the opening round with the first part of our post-UFC 211 double-header.
