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 Patricio “Pitbull” inside the Bellator cage and is looking to make a statement on his way back to title contention when he meets Roger Huerta on Ebrill 6 in Budapest, Hwngari. Fighting out of Austin, Texas, 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 Illustrated Chwaraeon, Huerta’s entertaining fight style saw him memorably defeat Clay Guida and Leonard Garcia. Nawr, fresh off of two consecutive victories, “El Matador” is not shying away from elite competition for his first fight of 2018.
