Henderson retains UCF lightweight title. 

 Benson Henderson retained the lightweight title at UFC 150 on Saturday night, doing just enough to outpoint Frankie Edgar in a split decision.The five-round bout was action-packed, with both fighters landing damaging punches and kicks and nearly submitting each other with choke holds. The difference likely came because of Henderson's 89-62 advantage in significant punches landed.

Guillard's shot rocked Cerrone in the fight's opening seconds, but he was unable to connect with a flurry of knee strikes and punch combinations to end the matchup between the 29-year  lightweights. Cerrone landed what initially appeared to be a glancing left kick to the top of Guillard's head, but the New Orleans fighter was virtually out on his feet and defenseless to Cerrone's finishing right hand.

Guillard, who missed weight at Friday's weigh-in by 2 1/2 pounds, will be fined a portion of his purse and fell to 6-3 in his last nine fights.

In the third fight of the night, Eric Perez (12-4) scored the fastest bantamweight knockout in UFC  17-second stoppage of Ken Stone (11-4) in their 135-pound bout.

He showed who was the best.
