The difference between Evans and other opponents Henderson has faced is Evans’ ability to get the fight to the ground. “He’s a better wrestler than most of my opponents have been,” Henderson told former welterweight contender turned broadcaster Frank Trigg . “I think he gets a little nervous sometimes in there.  I’m going to be pressuring him, but not overly aggressive where I end up getting taken down easy.  I want to make sure I pressure and control the middle and wait for him to kind of come at me a little bit, but still just pressure him and be aggressive, but not to where I’m going to be getting taken down,” he said.
