UFC on FOX 7 Results: Benson Henderson However Wants Superfight with GSP

Prior a razor-thin separate decision conquer former Strikeforce subject loop Gilbert Melendez, Benson Henderson identified making 155-pounds isn't always easy in an meeting with ESPNAFriday to. For that reason, he'd love to give his human body some slack by having a battle at welterweight, ideally against divisional kingpin Georges St-Pierre. "I am finding older," Henderson said. "I am 29 now, almost 30. At my age it is getting hard for the weight class to be made by me at 155. Therefore, I would maybe not mind having one fight at 170 and having some slack -- having a St-Pierre fight." With the win over "El Nino" at UFC on FOX 7 Saturday, "Bendo" tied BJ Penn's UFC history of three consecutive successful title defenses. A fight with GSP is unquestionably a stimulating one as both competitors are professional grapplers withAimpressiveAstriking on top of that. However, UFC President Dana White shot down "Smooth's" request a dream match up with GSP back February (via MMA Fighting). St-Pierre has won 11 in a, has the UFC welterweight history of seven concept defenses in a and seems to be destined to fight red-hot challenger Johny Hendricks next, although a with Anderson Silva often seems to be aApossibility (via MMA Fighting). Henderson's time is also a little of a considering he recently told Fighters Only journal that he had want to fight UFC featherweight winner Jose Aldo in Brazil at 155-pounds. None the less, "Smooth" examines his desire whilst the in an identical way Silva makes anAoccasional journey as much as light heavyweight, anything he has just done three times in his career (via ESPN) to compete at welterweight. "Like the way in which Anderson Silva does it -- have a fight at 205 every once in some time and usually make 185, his fat class," Henderson said. "I had be ok with that -- staying at 155, making weight at 155 for the remainder of my profession. But every once in a while, having an excellent fight at 170 -- St-Pierre and I squaring off. I had be cool with that." The super-fights are seemingly on hold for Henderson in either case, as White announced at the UFC on FOX 7 post-fight press conference that the winner of TJ Grant vs. Grey Maynard would fight for the tie next (via MMA Junkie.) Straight bouts have been won four by grant since falling right down to lightweight, while Maynard is simply 1-1-1 in his previous three battles. But, two of those rounds were concept offers against then-champ Frankie Edgar, putting up with a four knockout at UFC 136 in October 2011 and preventing him to a pull at UFC 125 in January 2011. Of late, "The Bully" won a bad separate decision over traditional contender Clay Guida at UFC on FX 4 last June. JohnAHeinisAis a featured columnist for Bleacher Report.
