WEC 43: Cerrone vs. Henderson Quick Results

WEC 43 was a ridiculous event!  We got treated to a great night of fights and one of the best fights in WEC history between Donald Cerrone and Ben Henderson.  It was an extremely close fight in which I thought Cerrone did enough to win, but the judges gave it to Ben Henderson.  Henderson is now the WEC Interim lightweight champion and will face WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner potentially in December.  Henderson was able to survive countless submission attempts in the first round to score some points of his own.  Henderson dominated round two, but the tide began to turn in the 3rd round as Cerrone's takedown defense began to show up.  Cerrone definitely won the fourth round, and then the fifth round was up for grabs.  In the fifth round, Cerrone again went for countless submission attempts including a very deep armbar, but somehow Henderson avoided tapping to the hold.  A classic fight and I'm sure we'll get to see a re-match in the future.  Full results can be found after the jump.

Yo...

Henderson is like Guida, BUT WITH TALENT!!!
I thought Cerrone won. These judges in Texas don’t know shit about the submission/ground game. I think Cerrone narrowly took round 1, but they must have given it to Henderson.
Great fight and night of fights nonetheless.

off the hook!

the best thing that could happen is for varner to get hurt again, and have cowboy and bend-erson (get it bend-) to rematch. i can see these 2 fighting 3 or 4 times before it gets settled.

I gave 1-3 to Henderson and 4-5 to Cerrone.. if this fight was in Japan no DOUBT Cerrone would have this one won.

How about that Damacio Paige though? That boy has been WRECKING fools lately!
