Ben Henderson: Powered By Kimchi
Lightweight Ben Henderson racked up his second victory in the WEC on Sunday, stopping Shane Roller with a vicious straight left inside two minutes of the first round.
The Glendale, Ariz., resident was expecting to go the distance--and fend off a lot of guillotine chokes, a favored technique of Roller--but had to settle for a quick fight.
"I was ready to have a war, but our game plan worked out extremely well for me," Henderson told MMAInsider.
The win may have bought him a little more leeway with his mom, who was not too happy to hear her son had forgone a double major in sociology and criminal justice to be a mixed martial artist.
To celebrate the win, the half-Korean Henderson binged on Korean food. His favorite dish, not surprisingly, is kimchi.
"It’s great for you," he said. "Kimchi power all the way."
Henderson doesn't have any preference on who he faces next.
"I don't want to sound like every other fighter, but anybody," he said. "I fought a really good kickboxer last time, and fought a really good wrestler this time, so whoever they want to match me up with."Labels: Ben Henderson, WEC 40
