The Ultimate Fighting Championship has tasked Benson Henderson with carrying its flag into South Korea. He was a natural choice for the ambassadorship.
Henderson, whose mother is Korean, tipped the scales at 170 pounds ahead of his clash with American Top Team’s Jorge Masvidal (170) in the UFC Fight Night 79 main event on Saturday at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul. Welterweight co-headliners Dong Hyun Kim (171) and Dominic Waters (170) also hit their intended marks at Friday’s official weigh-in.
