Benson Henderson has waded into foreign waters, on short notice no less.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder tipped the scales at 169 pounds ahead of his five-round scrap with Brandon Thatch (170) in the UFC Fight Night “Henderson vs. Thatch” main event on Saturday at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo. Featherweight co-headliners Max Holloway (145.25) and Cole Miller (145) also met their mandated weight requirements without incident at Friday’s official weigh-in.

A featherweight bout between Nik Lentz and late replacement Levan Makashvili was canceled shortly before weigh-ins due to Lentz coming down with the flu.
