Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight standouts Benson Henderson and Jorge Masvidal dueled yesterday (Sat., Nov. 28, 2015) at UFC Fight Night 79 inside Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea.
To prove his decision to jump up a weight class was the correct one, Henderson needed to turn away his "Gamebred" opponent. Otherwise, he was certainly in an awkward position, as there would be no clear path forward for the former Lightweight champion.
Similarly, Masvidal was looking for the biggest win of his career in just his second fight at 170 pounds. With a victory over Henderson, Masvidal would be in an excellent position to start a serious title run.
