Former UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson took to his official website blog to announce that he has signed with Bellator MMA.
“Smooth” Benson Henderson purposely allowed his UFC contract to expire after his last Octagon appearance, as he was looking to see what his value was on the open market.
The Viacom-backed MMA promotion that airs regularly on Spike TV, and in 2015, entered the pay-per-view market, apparently won the Benson Henderson sweepstakes, as the former UFC champion wrote the following blog regarding his Bellator MMA signing.
The Move
I’d like to officially announce my move over to Bellator MMA
I’m beyond excited for this next phase of my career, it’s a big move, like any move when switching employers or jobs after having worked somewhere for such a long time.
I have to thank the BigMan upstairs for putting some amazing people in my life, my wife (first and foremost) and a lot of truly smart and insightful people behind the scenes who helped make the connections and negotiated this deal to bring it to fruition.
I’d be remiss to not thank Dana White and Lorenzo Fertita for the opportunities they presented me, you guys have helped me change my life for the better and to be able to provide my family with the things I didn’t have while growing up. For that I’ll always have the utmost appreciation. Thanks for all the advise you guys gave too, both business wise and personal.
And last but not least, to who it is I think of when I think of the UFC! Everybody behind the scenes who I personally dealt with every time I reported in or had to do something. Mayra, Melissa, Dave, Chris, Nick, Tracy, Joanie, Maura, Tony, Heidi, Ryan, James, Dave, Kaia (sp.???), Burt, Rob, Rudy, Stitch, House, Mike, Susie, Dean, Donna, Feryal, Sean, Joe, Brad, Jazzmine, Candice, Michelle, Reed, sorry I can’t name everyone or this list would go on for forever. There’s a whole ton of people behind the scenes who make that show what it is. You guys and girls are the ones who make that show great and allow us fighters to do what it is we love!!! Much love to you all and thanks for putting up with me for so long.
To my fans, thanks for all the love and support, I’ll keep giving you my all, opening up my heart and soul inside that cage. I’m excited for this next chapter and building new relationships with guys I’ve heard nothing but great things about like Scott Coker, Rich Chou and Mike Kogan.

At the UFC On FOX 18 post-fight press conference, UFC Vice President of Public Relations, Dave Sholler, revealed that the promotion plans to make the announcement for Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier II “within the next couple of days here.”
Sholler said the following, as transcribed by MMAFighting.com.
“We expect to have an announcement within the next couple of days here,” said Sholler during the post-fight press conference. “Things are shaking out, and I think you guys are going to be pleased with the outcome.”
Jones defeated Cormier in their original match at UFC 182 in January of 2015, winning a unanimous decision to retain his UFC Light Heavyweight Title before being stripped following a hit-and-run incident leading to D.C. becoming the new champion during his hiatus.
