Following his victory over Jorge Masvidal at UFC Fight Night in South Korea, Benson Henderson’s contract expired, making him one of the most coveted free agents in mixed martial arts.
While the former UFC lightweight king wants to retire with the Las Vegas-based promotion, he also professed a desire to ”test the market” at last Saturday’s post-fight press conference. It would only make sense then that Bellator MMA, which is backed by the deep pockets of Viacom, would emerge as a logical suitor in the Henderson sweepstakes.
