Rustam Khabilov was a good start. Last we saw Benson Henderson, the former lightweight champion snapped his streak of eight consecutive decision victories at June’s UFC Fight Night 42, earning—wait for it—the first stoppage win of his UFC career via fourth-round submission over Khabilov. This particular rear-naked choke—beautiful in its efficiency after Henderson stunned the […]

As fighters continue to find success under the bright lights of the UFC and their profiles rise in the realm of public perception, it’s easy to lose things in the shuffle.
