Something to review before the fights tomorrow. Heavy.com talks to headliner Benson Henderson about his preparations for Cerrone and his martial arts background:
Heavy.com: Cerrone is a vaunted striker, but most of his wins have come by submission. Does that affect your game plan for this fight at all, or will you try to impose your will on him using your wrestling strength?
Ben Henderson: We don't prepare for incomplete fighters at the Lab MMA. We bring in the best strikers, wrestlers and submission artists we can find.
I've trained with guys like Shannon Gugerty, Demarques Johnson, Efrain Escudero, Seth Baczynski and many more. This has been a great camp where I could feel my core strengths improving daily.
I expect to put on my fight and execute my game plan. Donald better be completely ready, because I know I am.
Heavy.com: Speaking of wrestling: you were a two-time NAIA All-American. How did you get started in the sport? Was it something you started at a very young age?
Ben Henderson: At an early age I was into taekwondo and I think my love for grappling arts just evolved from that. I love jiu-jitsu and wrestling, and I have been training with some of the best striking coaches available. I feel like my entire game is evolving.
I love competing and testing my mind and body, both in the gym and in the cage.

I know. I’m actually going to the show (WAR CERRONE!!!) but it’d be nice to see a DVR’d HD broadcast when I get home. I thought it would be sorted out by then…
