Completely agree, Cathal would be way out of his depth, but fuck it. Good to henderson get some love.
Ben has gotten alot of shit from some....but this dude will scrap in a second! Zero fucks given.
and he's making some awesome cash....His last fight he made: $146,000 ($48,000 to show, $48,000 win bonus, $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
Maybe it's easier without defending a belt, stress gone of losing it and just thinking about earning some cash an putting on a great fight.
I love when Joe Silva matches skill vs heart. Like Matt Brown vs Wonderboy or Matt Brown vs Mein. Both Wonderboy and Mein are tough, but they win fights on skill over toughness, where as Brown, he wins many fights on toughness.
Another example is Ben Rothwell vs Overeem. LOVED seeing that fight. Same as Browne/Overeem.
Benson and Cowboy are setting the new example of fighting without some lengthy injury potential camp. The problem is with Zuffa's spam marketing strategy they will not allow titles to be fought for this way even if the fighters end up wanting it. All title fights will now and have been for a while have to be 3-4 months of spam promotion regardless of whether it already sells itself or not.
And in some cases, *cough* Vitor vs Weidman *cough* they don't seem to be doing ANY AT ALL, and the lengths have already created multiple delays.
I had issues with Benson's point grinding with certain decisions but for me regardless of your style if you want to fight on moderate to short notice repeatedly you go to the top of my cheering list now, I'm sick of the gaps and one/two fight a year shit. HW is dead because of it.

Imagine me at work in a cubicle slow clapping with only two co workers nearby looking at me like wtf
But yeah, I look at the heavyweight division and there are SOOOOO many awesome match ups, have these fuckers fight every 2 months and watch how exciting UFC will get.
And when I mean won't allow it, I mean won't allow PLANNED titlefights to happen on short notice, they may still let replacements on short notice happen if they figure it will save the card like Soto (which didn't save the card at all, just gave it a "Still has a title fight guise!" technical status). But if Cerrone beats Khabib and he and RDA for some reason agree to fight on 6 weeks notice, I guarantee you Zuffa says no.
