“Why in the world would you have a title fight and not have me in it? But whatever. That's great. I have to earn it, if that's how it is. By all means, let's do it,” Henderson said in an interview with 'MMA Junkie'.
Even though he believes he deserves the opportunity, Henderson stated that he intends to beat his neighbor categorically, so that he can compete for the category title.
“I have to hit him (Brent Primus) emphatically. I want an emphatic ending. I want a highlight. I want people to be talking about this on Monday morning: 'Oh my God, did you check out the latest Bellator card?' I want something that people talk about. After that, I'm going to fight for the belt, I'm going to win the title and have my hand raised”, concluded Ben.
In his next fight, Ben will face former division champion Brent Primus. The confrontation is scheduled for Bellator 268, scheduled for October 16th.
With the desire to compete for the lightweight title, Henderson's latest results do not qualify him for the opportunity. The North American was defeated in his last two fights, to Michael chandler e jason jackson, respectively. The former UFC champion has not won a fight since July 2019 and his record in MMA is 28 positive results and 10 negative results.
