Zach Makovsky Short notice? Up a weight class? These points were of little concern to Benson Henderson (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) when he agreed to fight welterweight Brandon Thatch (11-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 60.

The former lightweight champ thwarted Thatch’s 10-fight winning streak with a brilliant submission victory in the fourth round of his UFC 170-pound debut, which aired on FOX Sports 1 from 1STBank Center in Broomfield, Colo. The main event was the highlight of the night, and though Henderson’s comeback wasn’t something that can be quantified by facts or statistics, there were plenty of performances on the card that can be.
