Henderson vs. Cerrone up next

April 24th, 2010 at Sat, 24th, 2010 at 8:13 pm by caseyolson

WEC 48 is currently taking a 15-minute break before the final two fights of the evening. Just walked into Henderson’s locker room and the Decatur grad looks as relaxed as a human being can be.

He was rolling around on a mat, getting ready for “The Cowboy.” Henderson says that he is ready for another war tonight with Cerrone. He said at yesterday’s weigh-in that he is ready to fight seven, five-minute rounds tonight.

As a championship bout, the Henderson-Cerrone match will only go five, five-minute rounds, if it goes the distance. So Henderson’s 10-extra minutes of cardio should treat him very well if the fight doesn’t end in a knockout or submission early.

So, if the bout goes to the judges after five rounds, I wuold give the edge to Henderson. But Cerrone is no slouch with his cardio either. He has went the distance in several matches during his career, including the five-rounder he lost by decision to Henderson in October.

We will see…They will settle it in the octagon and I will be here cage side with the results.
