NEW YORK – Benson Henderson doesn’t plan on leaving things in the hands of the judges this time around. Henderson (28-8 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) rematches Michael Chandler (20-5 MMA, 17-5 BMMA) at Bellator 244 on June 6 in Chicago in a title eliminator bout, looking to avenge his loss from over three years ago, when he was narrowly defeated by then-Bellator lightweight champion Chandler. The two were originally scheduled to rematch in December, but an injury forced Henderson out, the first time in the former UFC and WEC lightweight champion’s 14-year career he withdrew from a fight. Henderson revealed that he actually went into his first fight with Chandler carrying a series of injuries, so he vowed not to make the same mistake again, opting to pull out, and have the fight rescheduled for a later date
