Bellator 208 Main Card Predictions

Lightweight: Benson Henderson vs Saad Awad

Benson Henderson - Ready for action

Benson Henderson is no stranger to the big occasion having won the WEC and UFC Lightweight Championships during his long career.

After leaving UFC in late 2015, Henderson signed on with Bellator but lost his debut match, a Welterweight title shot versus Champion, Andrey Koreshkov.

Henderson has a rather uninspiring 2-3 record in Bellator so far and the 12-year veteran appears to be close to the end of his career.

Henderson's opponent, Saad Awad is actually five months older than him and despite a long five-year tenure with Bellator has never achieved anything significant in the promotion.

However, Awad has won his past four fights and possesses real Knockout power.

Henderson in his prime would win this fight quite comfortably, however, at this stage of his career, he will struggle to cope with Awad's strikes.

Prediction: Saad Awad via Knockout
