it wasn’t even Schaub-Arlovs-
ki. It was just Benson Hender-
son being on the wrong end
of a close call, something that
has gone his way more often
than not. And it has to grate
at him. He took the high road,
because that’s the kind of guy
he is, and because Henderson
and Cerrone are pals when
not squaring off.
The big question that now
remains is, what comes next?
Having never suffered back-
to-back losses before in his
career, could now be the time
for Henderson to go up in
weight to welterweight?
It might be tempting. It might
also be the wrong move.
Life isn’t always smooth sail-
ing. You face adversity, you
move forward. Benson Hen-
derson is an extremely gifted
fighter, and he’s been very
successful both in and out
of the UFC. While 0-2 might
be scary for some fighters, it
matters not for Bendo, as he’s
not at risk of being cut any
time soon and is still in his
prime. There are still plenty of
good fights for him at 155lbs;
170lbs, meanwhile, has a bit
of a traffic jam with Robbie
Lawler taking some time off,
and a couple of key fights al-
ready planned to determine
the next title shot.
