Cerrone & Henderson agree to go for $50k
On Monday, Cerrone fired off a text to his old foe. “No hard feelings. Let’s go get 50-f-cking-k, brother.” Benson Henderon’s reply? “Hell yeah.”
Donald Cerrone is one of the top fighters in the performance bonus list and Benson Henderson is incapable of a boring fight. The fight is going to be good, no way around it. And if that wasn’t enough, the two had a quick conversation on text about trying to go for the $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus:
Of course, Cerrone is confident that he’s a completely different fighter than his initial meetings with Henderson. He said he didn’t really give anyone an opportunity to talk him out of taking a fight that could be demonstrably bad for his career.
I could sit back and wait like every other fighter, he said. But I’m not every other fighter. I’m my own guy, and I don’t give a sh-t.
He added. The only problem is when I get that goddamn belt, who’s going to be left to fight? That’s what I want to know.
On Monday, he fired off a text to his old foe.
No hard feelings. Let’s go get 50-f-cking-k, brother, Cerrone wrote to Henderson.
Henderson’s reply?
Hell yeah.
