Nach dem Benson Henderson die UFC fuer Bellator verlassen hat, gibt es nun ein paar Saeze die hin und her gehen.

Angefangen hat es mit Dana White der gesagt hat das man Henderson ein besseres Angebot gemacht hat, er jedoch zu Bellator ging fuer mehr Geld. Ausserdem sei Henderson auf dem Weg nach unten, und die UFC schaut nach Fightern die auf dem Weg nach oben sind….

“The truth is we made him an offer that would have paid him substantially more - like not even in the same ballpark - than he's getting now if he were to become world champion again, but he chose their deal, which offered more up front..

He's a former world champion who's ranked No. 15 now. We're looking for top-5 guys, guys that are going from 15 to 1, not the other way around.

This could be the last contract he ever signs. He got the right deal for him. He's a great guy, and we wish him all the best.”

Benson Henderson sagte daraufhin das man ja Dana kennt, die UFC Ratings man nicht ernst nimmt:

“We know Dana. You know Dana. I know Dana. We’ve heard some other things he said. That was the worst he said? He didn’t say my momma was ugly; he didn’t say I was the worst fighter in history? If that’s all he said, that’s not too bad, considering his history of outlandish quotes.

If you’re a onetime champion and you lose, does the UFC not want you at all any more? Or how about all their past UFC champions who held gold, armbarred everybody in the first round, and then they lose and now they’re ranked No. 3 or 4 or 5?

We know what those rankings mean anyway. There’s not much weight behind those rankings.”
