Benson Henderson won his welterweight debut against the formidable Brandon Thatch tonight at UFC Fight Night in Broomfield, CO. At 3:58 of round four Thatch tapped when Henderson executed a perfect rear naked choke. “I didn’t know if i could win this fight. Sometimes you just have to test yourself” said the former champ.
It was an inspiring performance from the former champion who dealt with a tough decision loss to Donald Cerrone on January 18th.
Thatch was the aggressor throughout the fight landing some big trip takedowns and was the heavier striker. But Henderson worked on Thatch’s body and timing to set up his own effective take downs that would eventually get him the victory. For more results visit Sherdog.com
