Bellator 285 on Saturday at 3Arena in Dublin was headlined by local hero Peter Queally’s lightweight showdown with former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Benson Henderson. “Smooth” showed why he has been so successful over the years, as he defended well in striking exchanges, scored with kicks and took every opportunity to attack Queally’s hips, beating up the Irishman with dirty boxing even when he failed to take him to the canvas. When combined with Henderson’s intelligence, legendary cardio and ability to implement a gameplan across 25 minutes, it was more than enough to win every round on all three judges’ scorecards.
