Benson Henderson took another step toward greatness at UFC on Fox 7 while once again flirting with disaster.
The UFC lightweight champion fought to a narrow decision against Gilbert Melendez in Saturday’s main event, defending his belt with a split decision win for the second time in three fights. The final Strikeforce lightweight titleholder, Melendez’s long run of success was brought to a halt by the judges’ controversial call.
Anytime there is a debatable decision in a championship match, the calls for a rematch are bound to follow.
Let’s see if that’s what could be next for Henderson and Melendez as we run through the next potential opponents for all the UFC on Fox 7 competitors.
