He would only need to cut a measly five pounds to get to the welterweight limit. But, that would mean Henderson would lose his weight advantage over his opponent.
Some welterweights cut down from pounds to make the division limit. Fighters like Thiago Alves would have a massive weight advantage on Henderson, one with which he's not used to dealing. I don't think Ben Henderson would have a good run at welterweight.
I would liken it to when Nate Diaz put on weight and moved up for a few fights. And when it comes to the crucial attribute that is impossible to measure in the fight game, Henderson saw no better example than the battle that unfolded between Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald in the co-main event at UFC back in July. For just north of 20 minutes, the resurgent champion and the talented young Canadian upstart waged all-out war on one another in a battle that pushed each man to their physical and mental limits.
I would like to find out who has the bigger heart between myself and Robbie Lawler. He has all of those weapons, but what impresses me the most is the heart the man has. Before Henderson can climb the welterweight ranks he has to prove he can swim through the turbulent waters of one of the most competitive divisions under the UFC banner.
Knowing he wanted a tough customer directly out of the gates, the former lightweight champion saw a roster of potential killers to lock up with, and his team immediately set about looking to land the biggest shark possible. Everyone wants St. But the prospect of a shot against welterweight kingpin St. Pierre still intrigues the man to beat at April 13, pm. Share This Article.
