SACRAMENTO, Calif. -
In a bout that moved in fits and starts, interim WEC lightweight champion Ben Henderson took the undisputed WEC lightweight belt from Jamie Varner when he capitalized on a mistake.

Varner was game to be the aggressor of the fight,
controlling the pace with short bursts of action that put Henderson a
step behind up until the final sequence.

The tense contest served as the main event for Sunday’s “WEC 46:
Henderson vs. Varner” event at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The
main card of the show aired live on Versus.
