Combat Rewind, April 24: Benson Henderson submits Donald Cerrone to retain WEC title

There’s “Flashback Friday” and “Throwback Thursday” (and Tuesday, too, if you want). But at MMA Junkie, we figured why not expand that to every day?

“Combat Rewind” brings you some of combat sports’ best highlights from every calendar day of the year. It’s a look back at history, courtesy of the UFC Fight Pass archives, featuring stellar finishes and classic moments in MMA and beyond on their anniversaries.

Today’s highlights are topped by Benson Henderson’s lone WEC lightweight title defense, and it came against Donald Cerrone with a guillotine choke, which is the only time in Cerrone’s career that he’s submitted.

So kick back and relive the following bits of greatness in the video above:
