UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson isn’t one to hype a fight, but heading into the second defense of his title, he hopes his opponent will help sell it to the public.
“I don’t think Nate Diaz is going to be a big talker and say a bunch of stuff, but it’s nice to have something the media can latch onto,” Henderson told MMAjunkie.com.
While Henderson’s bottom line won’t necessarily be affected by the number of viewers who watch the bout, he would like to increase his earning power.
