Ex-UFC champ Benson Henderson entering free agency after Bellator win; asked Khabib about Eagle FC

Benson Henderson not only ended Islam Mamedov’s 20-fight unbeaten streak this past weekend, that quality victory also marked the final bout in his Bellator contract. The former UFC champion will be weighing his options, but acknowledged that at 38-years-old retirement is also one of them.

“I wanted to soak it all in,” Henderson said at Bellator 273’s post-fight press conference (transcribed by MMA Fighting). “I’m not sure if this will be my last fight or not, so I wanted to enjoy it. I wanted to enjoy the ‘W,’ enjoy getting my hand raised. I might keep going, I might not.
