In one of the biggest rematches in the lightweight division’s history, UFC champion Benson Henderson will get a chance to take on former WEC champ Anthony Pettis once again at this weekend’s UFC 164.
When these two fighters first faced off, “Showtime” emphatically decisioned “Smooth” to take the WEC belt with his famous, fifth round off-the-cage kick in the promotion’s final show at WEC 53.
Since then, the careers of both men have taken some twists and turns, as Henderson has risen to become the defending UFC lightweight champ while Pettis has been on a roller coaster ride en route to his current shot at the belt.
Let’s take a deeper look into how two of MMA‘s best 155ers stack up against each other in this rematch with this head-to-toe breakdown.
