Last night, Ben Henderson once again defeated former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar by decision. This contest was much closer than their last meeting—a split decision which felt the wrong man won.
Nonetheless, Dana White has said no more rematches, and Nate Diaz will face Henderson next (per MMA Weekly).
Diaz is coming off possibly one of his most impressive performances—a fight against Jim Miller back in May—and will now have a chance at UFC gold.
The matchup is an exciting one and one that I can’t wait for, so let’s take a look at how the two match up on paper with the Henderson-Diaz head-to-toe breakdown.
