Benson Henderson Benson Henderson ’s win over Brandon Thatch in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 60 headliner will serve as one of the defining moments of his career – a moment when the former UFC lightweight champion moved up to welterweight to take on a man who would be a good-sized middleweight and survived a powerful attack en route to a dramatic rear-naked choke victory . Aside from the trademark display of heart, Henderson (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) also brought back another of his classic hits: He appears to have fought with a toothpick in his mouth. The screenshot in this tweet was taken as Henderson popped up from submitting Thatch (10-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC): Definitely preventable.
