Benson Henderson is one of the most well-rounded fighters in MMA today, but every fighter has a weakness and, for Henderson, it appears that weakness is Anthony Pettis.
The former UFC lightweight champion hasn’t been able to overcome the obstacle presented by Pettis, and after losing to Pettis at UFC 164, it’s pretty clear that Henderson will have to do a lot to get another title shot.
Still, all is not lost for the former champion. There are plenty of fights available for Henderson at lightweight to where he can still be in high profile fights and possibly work his way back to a future title shot.
