Melvin came out strong and looked like he was going to run through the former champ a second time. But after a brief "Where the hell is Benson Henderson" moment, Benson emerged strong as piss (with a side order of vinegar) and dominated the rest of the round, finishing up for the win. The rubber match on this one could be good money.
I kinda like this random mini-"rivalry". No trash-talk or anything, just fighting. And good fights.
