Ben Henderson is gearing up for a potential title defense against Anthony Pettis at the end of the year, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about how he would match up against the the rest of the world’s best lightweights.

When asked on last week’s episode of The MMA Hour about a fight against current UFC 155-pound king Frankie Edgar, Henderson appeared very intrigued in matching up against the man he considers to be the best lightweight in the world.

“If I were to fight Frankie Edgar, I would approach it very confidently,” Henderson said. “I would be excited about that match-up. I would go get it. Hands down, I would go get it.”
