Many fans and MMA journalists felt Benson Henderson was making a mistake by taking a fight against Brandon Thatch at UFC Fight Night in Broomfield, Colo. Instead, the former UFC lightweight champ’s short-notice move up to 170 pounds could turn out to be his best decision ever.
After his fourth-round rear-naked choke submission of Thatch, “Smooth” even took the opportunity to ask for a fight with welterweight contender Rory MacDonald. How can anyone doubt Henderson two times in a row?
But discussion on the Sherdog forums and across the MMA world quickly turned from Henderson’s performance and his possible next matchup to another “Toothpick-gate.” Head over the forums and add your opinion to the discussion.
