Benson Henderson was supposed to make waves in the first fight of his Bellator career at Bellator 153. Apparently Andrey Koreshkov didn’t receive the memo.
Koreshkov (19-1 MMA, 10-1 BMMA) stole the hype around Henderson’s (23-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) heavily promoted debut with the promotion, dominating the former UFC and WEC champ to a lopsided unanimous decision on Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.
Although Koreshkov was the betting underdog, he had his way in fairly surprising fashion, spoiling Henderson’s first appearance in the Bellator cage.
