Former WEC lightweight champion, Benson Henderson has tonight been speaking about how he plans on dealing with the hostile reception at UFC 129 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada when he goes head-to-head with one of their own, Mark Bocek on the main card of the evening… prepare for it of course. Speaking to MMABay.co.uk via media conference call, Henderson said:
“Not that I’m not fazed by it, but it’s not the biggest deal. We are fighting and training accordingly and trying to emulate the hostile environment.”
When asked about a possible rematch with Anthony Pettis, the man to defeat him in such spectacular fashion at the back end of 2010, the man dubbed “Smooth” said:“I think there’s only one way to find out how he’d fare in a rematch and I’d love to find out. Before I retire, I will absolutely face him again and it definitely will be a very fun fight for me when I face him again.”
Henderson had looked unbeatable in the WEC ranks after capturing the title last year, defeating the likes of Jamie Varner and Donald Cerrone to build a ten-fight winning streak. That run was brought to an end though when he lost via unanimous decision to Anthony Pettis just last month at WEC 53.
