UFC Fight Night 79 results: Benson Henderson edges out Jorge Masvidal in South Korea

Lightweight. Welterweight. It doesn't matter. Benson Henderson is consistently excellent -- and unparalleled in his ability to win tight decisions.

Jorge Masvidal was Henderson's victim Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 79 in Seoul, South Korea. All five rounds were very close, but Henderson got the nod from the judges via split decision (47-48, 48-47, 49-46) in the homeland of his mother.

How he got there might be in question since all the rounds were razor close. But it would be hard to dispute Henderson as the fresher fighter at the end -- and the overall winner of the fight.
