UFC Quick Quote: Ben Henderson would return to lightweight for the right fight

"I'm not going to say I'll never go back to 155. Making the weight would be hard to do on short notice and it's not a pleasant cut, but if the right fight was there for the taking, I would definitely consider jumping on it, but I'm so excited to really test myself at 170."

After two consecutive losses at lightweight, Ben Henderson decided to jump up to welterweight. And after defeating the march larger Brandon Thatch in his debut at 170-pounds, "Smooth" isn't planning on going back down to 155 pounds.
