Ben Henderson’s post-fight call out aimed at GSP
During his post-fight victory speech at UFC Fight Night 79, which went down on Nov. 28, 2015, in Seoul, Benson Henderson had a message for a mystery fighter.
Benson Henderson called out Georges St-Pierre at UFC Fight Night 79. Henderson said he’d resign with the UFC in five minutes for the right pay. That fight might bring it.
“Was that impressive enough for you?” asked Henderson after defeating Jorge Masvidal via split decision.
Many have tried to put the pieces together to no avail, as Henderson doesn’t really have any beef with anyone in the mixed martial arts (MMA) world at the moment. Well wonder no more, as “Smooth” revealed on “The MMA Hour” that the message was directed at none on other than Georges St-Pierre.
“Was that a mystery? I didn’t think it was a mystery. I heard there were rumors about Georges St-Pierre coming back and how the guys he faces off against have to have impressive performances.
I was trying to have and impressive enough performance to warrant facing off against Georges St-Pierre.
I think I’ve always wanted to prove myself as the best fighter on the planet. No ifs, ands or buts about it and I have a long way to go. I know I have to work my butt off.
And I want to prove that, back it up by squaring off against perhaps the greatest Welterweight in UFC history in Georges St-Pierre.
I moved up to 170 now, so I heard he was training or thinking about fighting again. I don’t know the truth to any of that it’s all kind of rumors, but that’s what I was talking about if my performance was impressive or not.”
Unfortunately for Henderson, “Rush’s” days inside the Octagon may be done for good, according to Dana White
