After the fight, Henderson wouldn't commit to returning to 155 pounds. Instead, he said that he'd like to fight Rory MacDonald in Canada since he's without a fight.
Former Conor McGregor opponent Max Holloway has put that fight behind him, as he handled veteran Cole Miller on his way to his fifth straight victory. The 23 year old Holloway already has 11 fights in the UFC and an insane amount of upside. He'll be facing #5-ranked Cub Swanson on Fox in April.
Elsewhere, Neil Magny won his sixth straight UFC fight with a submission win over Kiichi Kunimoto. Just 13 months ago Magny was fighting for his UFC career as he'd lost two fights in a row. With his win Saturday night, he has as many wins in under 13 months as UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez's past five years. He hopes to join the stacked UFC welterweight rankings with his win.
Henderson and Thatch walked away with Fight of the Night honors, while Ray Borg and Neil Magny bagged the performance bonuses. All four left with an additional $50,000.
