So, Benson Henderson got his butt kicked by the Bellator WW Champion, Andrey Koreshkov.
Dana White officially says Connor’s off the UFC 200 card, Diaz says he’s taking a vacation if Connor doesn’t fight him. Oh boy.
That fight was really one-sided. I know Koreshkov is definitely UFC quality, but I was not expecting that beatdown.
Yeah, Benson was just destroyed, however, his heart is unquestionable.
I would have died if I had to fight the Russian. I can’t believe Benson lasted 5 rounds.
He just physically was not a match, guy was too big, too good, too fast and limbs too long. Impossible for Benson to take him down, just nothing doing.
It was not a boring fight to watch though, even hoping Benson would win.
I can only assume Benson will go to lightweight, because the WW title is clearly out of reach.

Yep- saw the fight- the problem was Andrey’s reach- it was very evident throughout hte match- He’d clock Ben, and ben woudl try to repay and miss- coem up short-
Ben is still in phenomenal health though- he didn’t even look winded at the end of fight- and he did a lot of wrestling trying to take the fella down too— but something else just seemed off about him tonight- he just didn’t seem as aggressive as he usually is with moving forward- I thik that hurt him too-
