Benson Henderson Benson Henderson made short notice really pay off on Valentine’s Day. Now the “Smooth” one wants to put his heart into a trip to Brazil. With the recent news that Ben Saunders (18-6-2 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is out of the UFC Fight Night 62 co-main event against Erick Silva (17-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC), less than two weeks away, Henderson (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) wants to again jump in on short notice to save the day. UFC Fight Night 62 takes place March 21 at Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass. Three weeks ago, Henderson stepped in for Stephen Thompson and moved up to welterweight from his longtime lightweight home to take on Brandon Thatch in the UFC Fight Night 60 main event.
