His only convincing UFC title defense was journeyman Nate Diaz

A true legend of the sport. The fact he is still healthy and looks young at this point in his career is an amazing.

“Young,” compared to me, but there’s gray on his head and on his chin. But as many fights as he’s had and still have one of his ears looking normal is fantastic

No regrets Benson. You had a beautiful career; an elite submission artist and a great fan. Whether you’re a UFC fan or a Bellator fan, this is a name that the MMA community will never forget. You were always game and always wanted to test yourself against the best.

Benson - inventor of the calf kick.

Benson is a absolute legend. I won't remember him as some brute, I remember him as a chess master. His fight IQ and savvy approach gave him alot of success. Hope he enjoys retirement

He got tons of shit for winning close fights but that's a testament to his fight iq: he knew how to edge close rounds. People complained but it's a legit strategy. And Benson NEVER coasted, dude always fought active and hard. Never boring.

Nothing makes me feel older than watching the Diaz, Cowboys, and the Smooths of the world retiring because I started watching this sport because of these guys back in WEC days. Thank you for the great memories 🙏♥️💯

Henderson's win over Thatch was one of my favorites

Had a buddy train at a gym in arizona. He said benson was the 1st person to greet him and show him around. True class act. RIP Big Mill

Ben is a true warrior and champion and legend of MMA, I hope the UFC eventually puts him in the hall of fame. He was always a sportsman and low-key badass.

One of my favorite fighters of all time. A motivational compilation video called Love God or something like that provided me with incredible motivation during hard times. Thank you legend.

Damn💔 that was hard to watch. Your gonna kill it in whatever next legend!

Great career. God bless you.

He should be remember (legacy) as one of the first to weaponize the calf-kick. And that's a game changer right there...maybe as big as leg locks in bjj...Benson is one of the greats for sure. Congrats on a amazing career champ!

Legend. Always.

humble character, it's great to see. Last day of vacation,.. is always the best.

He leaves a lasting impression everywhere he’s ever been starting in his early years as a Washington all stater and NAIA All American & madden foot ball phenom!! Much respect & love to a man who punished my endurance for 2 years.. great career for a true professional

Congratulations on a great career champ

Benson Henderson is an awesome fighter, so great to watch his career and the fact that he has been an outspoken Christian never afraid to give his testimony and give God credit for his successes! God bless you Benson if your future endeavors!

Bummer he couldn’t win the bellator belt it’s a beautiful belt and you can tell how much he wanted it

Respect to Benson. In my opinion he is the greatest lightweight of all time. We judge a fighter based on their prime and no one has ever had a greater prime than Benson. He was the compete package. Charming, funny, handsome, elite wrestling, and smooth striking. We love you Benson!

A legend in the mma community 🙏👊respect.

LEGEND.

Be 1% better everyday. You’re my favorite fighter Bendo! Will miss ya

much much respect Benson Henderson. ive watched this man since i was a young kid. amazing career. respect man.

Much love champ

A real true legendary martial artist. Criminally underrated. Undisputed WEC champ , undisputed UFC champ. Could beat anybody on the planet on any given night. always dangerous, gladiator durability, endless cardio, creative striking, strong wrestling.. In my opinion he's a hall of famer. Thanks Benson. You the man

Those Nurmagomedov’s are unstoppable wtf

Will be forever missed

Thank you Bendo

Great career Champ 🙏

Legend

I remember when he was winning through split decisions and fans were getting on him. Now he's a legend. The mma community is funny like that though. Hate at the moment and love at the end.

Legend himself

Respect.

I watched him fight over 15 years, amazing person. I did lose a bunch of money when he lost to Pettis in their second fight but it's ok.

Thanks for the fights. The og fans know.

great fights going to miss you

I felt how tough this loss for him. specially the moment his wife came inside the cage.

this was hard to watch but im proud of him.

this guy actually seems like a good dude

Gonna miss that dude
