Henderson is no closer to
a shot in one division than
he is in the next, but he
shouldn’t necessarily make
his exit just yet. Timing is
everything, and the tim-
ing feels off. The momen-
tum isn’t there, nor is the
opportunity. It’s not just
that either. Henderson has
been a huge part of the
division over the past few
years, and a number of
fights still intrigue, includ-
ing originally scheduled
opponent Eddie Alvarez,
Edson Barboza, maybe
even Bobby Green — and
possibly, down the road, a
fourth fight with Cerrone.
Most fans would flock to
it.
For now, Henderson has
stepped in to replace the
aforementioned
Green
against Jorge Masvidal at
UFC Fight Night 63, taking
a page out of Cerrone’s
book. It’s a smart move,
quickly putting the loss to
Cowboy behind him.
Just don’t leave that one
to the judges.
