Poll: Should Benson Henderson Leave The UFC?
Former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson made waves yesterday (Sat., November 28, 2015) when he revealed he would indeed be testing the free agent market following a second consecutive welterweight win over Jorge Masvidal in the main event of UFC Fight Night 79 from Seoul, South Korea.
“”Smooth’s” potential defection to a rival promotion like Bellator or even ONE Championship raises a very interesting topic in this era of the Reebok sponsorship deal, which has many fighters questioning their employment with the UFC because of the ridiculously low sponsorship income they now make.
Seeing how his pay was about to decrease, high-profile former UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis already signed with Bellator earlier this year, but Henderson is a former champion whose departure from truly be a sign that fighters are done with the supposedly tyrannical ways of the UFC and their endlessly blasted sponsorship deal.
Do you think Henderson should leave the UFC for potentially more lucrative (and easier) fights in another promotion?
