Former UFC champion Benson Henderson claimed victory against hometown favourite Peter Queally in the Bellator 258 main event in front of a raucous crowd ...
Henderson, one of the most battle-tested veterans on the Bellator roster, used every bit of his nous to frustrate a game Queally through five rounds. Queally did find a home for several sniping shots throughout the five rounds, and also had the advantage of having Henderson deducted a point by the referee in the opening moments of the second following a particularly awful groin shot. The Irishman did, however, have his moments โ particularly early when he repelled a series of early takedowns from the American forcing Henderson to adapt his strategy in favour of pushing Queally to the cage, elevating a leg and landing elbows when the opportunity presented itself.
Benson Henderson outclassed Ireland's Peter Queally, earning a unanimous decision victory at Bellator 285 at the 3 Arena Dublin.
A packed arena sang the lyrics to 'Zombie' by The Cranberries, as the Waterford man entered the ring. In the co-main event, Melvin Manhoef lost to Yoel Romero in the final fight of his 27-year career. The victory places Henderson in a strong position for a lightweight title shot.
