During last Saturday night’s five-round, back-and-forth WEC 43 main event between Ben “Smooth” Henderson and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone for the promotion’s interim lightweight title, both fighters left absolutely everything they had inside the cage.
It was an epic battle for the ages and a surefire candidate for “Fight of the Year” honors.
For Henderson the win meant he had earned himself an opportunity to unify the 155-pound title with a showdown opposite injured champion, Jamie Varner, during a future WEC event set for “The Worn’s” hometown of Phoenix, Ariz., in December.
It is a match up that would certainly have a great chance to live up to the high standard the WEC has set for main event fights so far in 2009.
