Benson Henderson will get a second chance this Saturday night to join Eddie Alvarez as the only fighters to wear gold in both the UFC and Bellator MMA.

Henderson challenges Michael Chandler for the lightweight title at Bellator 165 on Spike. “Smooth” previously held that belt while competing in the UFC.

“I would say that there’s not a whole lot of extra motivation this fight,” said Henderson during a conference call. “I’m a pretty highly self-motivated individual. I want to win all of my fights. I don’t need any extra incentives. I want to have my hand raised in every single fight.”

In his Bellator debut, Henderson fought Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight title. Recently, Koreshkov dropped the belt to Douglas Lima.

“I wouldn’t say that I think of myself as a lightweight necessarily,” he said. “For me, it’s 155 pounds or 170 pounds, just wherever the more interesting and fun matchups are. But, first things first, I have to take care of business on Saturday night.”
