UFC lightweight champion Ben Henderson is another Jiu-Jitsu black belt confirmed in the 2013 ADCC, the charming no-gi tournament scheduled for October 19 and 20 in the Chinese capital, Beijing.
The invitation was made by the organization, and Bendo accepted at once. The Arizona star, who often trains with world champion Augusto Tanquinho, will perform in the 77kg division.
Before the ADCC, Ben Henderson will face Anthony Pettis on August 31 to defend his belt.
Will Bendo pull both of these challenges off this semester?
