Photo: Benson Henderson celebrates UFC lightweight title with his mom

benson is a class act. happy for the guy...

We need more guys like that in the UFC, respectful, talented & yet very humble! You got a new fan Mr.Ben Henderson!!

I see Ben as the People's Champ. Very humble and down to earth. Good for him.

What a Champ! Kind, humble and a Momma's boy. Priceless! I hope he reigns for a long time!

Anyone else notice that WEC last title Contenders and holders, hold all the belts south of middle weight and if Sonnen wins they will have that as well.

Omma!

Well the UFC has five really good people as Champs. Now to get Cruz and Silva out

Great story. I really respect that she took a bad situation and made it better by working hard, supporting her 2 kids, and respecting their decisions to do what they want to in life. It's stories and people like these that make this a great country in its most ideal form.

Real men always remember who helped them when they were down and not when who is there when they're up.....good man!

great win for him and his mom,he should move up to the heavy weight.and tangle with the big boys,mank more money,,and fight the heavy weight,you never know,may be one day he will try to move up,great win for him

To Nick Diaz: This is how to be a Champion in and out of the Octagon.

I don't know how Edgar could even think he won that fight... He was exposed for being a sore loser during the interview.

What a sweet moment! He's a momma's boy and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. The one woman you should always treat like a queen outside of your wife, of course.

I really admire Ben Hederson, because instead of becoming like his dad and follow his dad's behavior, he chose to become a better person. No alcohol, no smoke. This is why I do not believe alcoholism or drugs additions are hereditary, people do those things, because they chose to do them. No excuses.

This really was the best story leading up to the fight by far. Made u like BenHendo as a person. I like that he's a reader.

I am still shocked someone robbed Henderson's house. Does anyone remember that? I mean who would dare try to mess with that guy? Nice to see gentleman and ladies giving thumbs up to guys showing they can love their mama. couldn't have been a greater reward for a great person, but I think Edgar is just as much a class act as Henderson. Both great champs. Screw what people say, Edgar stay at lightweight cause you are a much better fighter than at featherweight. Plus, you would get murdered by Aldo.

Benson is such a better role model than Frankie

Notice Joe "cokehead" Rogan kissin Edgars sack the entire fight cheering about Edgar catching Hendos kicks? Reachin for kicks is a bad habit which opens an opponent up for head kicks. Edgar must have been high as hell to think he won that fight. He got his little #$%$ spanked!

Incredible fight by Ben Henderson. I thought we might see Edgar comeback as he had against Maynard after getting his eye and nose smashed in rounds one and two but that never happened.

cheetoriffic!
