SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — UFC lightweight division champion Benson Henderson cares less about where a fight is held and more about the outcome. Let it take place in the parking lot of a convenience store and he’ll still just want the win.
Gilbert Melendez’s mixed martial arts career was in full bloom while Henderson was still in school. He’s getting his first UFC opportunity in a title match against a former admirer.
Melendez, the No. 1 challenger, meets Henderson with the title on the line Saturday at HP Pavilion.
