After spending years as an elite lightweight -- and champion -- in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Benson Henderson finally made the move up a weight division to welterweight for a short-notice headliner opposite fellow Coloradoan Brandon Thatch in Feb. 2015.
Henderson, who faces Jorge Masvidal in a welterweight main event at UFC Fight Night 79 this Saturday (Nov. 28, 2015) in Seoul, South Korea, previously dropped two straight to current title challenger Donald Cerrone and 155-pound titleholder Rafael dos Anjos.
"Rukus," meanwhile, had won two in-a-row in UFC, both being finishes.
It was a grueling four-round battle, but Henderson found his opening to strike and eventually finish the fight.
