Scott Coker praises Andrey Koreshkov after wiping out Ben Henderson: 'He's a beast'

Bellator MMA President Scott Coker had high praise for Welterweight champion, Andrey Koreshkov, after the Russian dominated Benson Henderson last night (Fri., April 22, 2016) en route to a 50-45 unanimous decision victory.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Benson Henderson's (23-7) promotional debut didn't quite go exactly as he had planned in Bellator 153's main event last night (Fri., April 22, 2016) inside Mohegan Sun Arena. "Smooth," Bellator's newly signed free agent, had absolutely no answer for the current Welterweight champion, Andrey Koreshkov (19-1), who scored a clean sweep on the score cards for a unanimous decision victory.

Simply put, Koreshkov was just too big.
