Benson Henderson and Brandon Thatch In this week’s Trading Shots, retired UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to look at Benson Henderson’s big win at UFC Fight Night 60, and whether it might have finally changed how fans view him. * * * * Downes: Ben, you don’t strike me as the romantic type, so I know you were in front of the TV last night to see former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson do the damn thing. Just a month removed from his decision loss to Donald Cerrone, Henderson jumped up a division to fight Brandon Thatch and submitted him. Is it just me, or does everyone seem pretty underwhelmed by the whole ordeal? I’d attribute it to the fact that a lot of people aren’t huge Henderson fans.
