• Henderson keeps UFC lightweight title: Benson Henderson retained the lightweight title at UFC 150 in Denver on Saturday night, doing just enough to outpoint Frankie Edgar in a split decision. Henderson received winning scores of 48-47 from two of the judges, while the third scored it 49-46 for Edgar. Henderson took the belt from Edgar on Feb. 25. The five-round bout was action-packed, with both fighters landing damaging punches and kicks and nearly submitting each other with choke holds. The difference likely came because of Henderson’s 89-62 advantage in significant punches landed. Henderson (17-2) will next defend his title against Nate Diaz (16-7).
