SAITAMA, Japan – WEC never die, indeed.
With a pair of impressive wins at Sunday’s UFC 144 event in Saitama,
Japan, former WEC champions Benson Henderson and
Anthony Pettis will now apparently meet for the UFC
lightweight title.
Following the pay-per-view event in which Henderson earned the UFC belt
with a unanimous-decision win over Frankie Edgar and Pettis scored a
highlight-reel finish of Joe Lauzon, UFC president Dana White suggested
that was the likely plan.
