In just over two months, former lightweight champion Benson Henderson returns to the Octagon to face former Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC Fight Night 59.
Henderson last fought in August, when he suffered his first career knockout loss in brutal fashion at the hands of Rafael dos Anjos.
Alvarez is also coming off a loss. His last fight was his UFC debut, in which he dropped a unanimous decision to perennial contender Donald Cerrone.
Both fighters will be looking to get back on track, and with Henderson ranked at No. 5 and Alvarez at No. 10, this is a fight with serious implications in the stacked lightweight division.
Let’s take a look at who has the edge in this early head-to-toe breakdown.
