With marquee victories over Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone (x2), Frankie Edgar (x2), Gilbert Melendez and Jorge Masvidal, Glendale, Ariz.’s “Smooth” Benson Henderson looks to add another name to his already-impressive resume. The former UFC and WEC champ owns a win over a ਪੈਟਰਿਕ "ਪਿਟਬੁੱਲ" inside the Bellator cage and is looking to make a statement on his way back to title contention when he meets Roger Huerta on ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 6 in Budapest, ਹੰਗਰੀ. Fighting out of Austin, ਟੈਕਸਾਸ, the 34-year-old Los Angeles native returns to Bellator for the first time since facing Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 33. The first MMA fighter to ever appear on the cover of ਖੇਡ ਇਲੈਸਟ੍ਰੇਟਿਡ, Huerta’s entertaining fight style saw him memorably defeat Clay Guida and Leonard Garcia. ਹੁਣ, fresh off of two consecutive victories, “El Matador” is not shying away from elite competition for his first fight of 2018.
