Mike Bohn Joins Press Row

---

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAJunkie's Mike Bohn.

Breen and Bohn dig into the week's biggest MMA topic, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson signing with Bellator MMA. The pair discuss whether or not Henderson's decision will be an influential moment in the sport, the role the UFC-Reebok deal played in his decision and whether or not “Smooth” can be a two-division Bellator champ.

The Henderson conversation is especially apt for the day, as it is also the nine-year anniversary of UFC 67, one of the most critical, bellwether moments in this sport's history surrounding free agency. The event witnessed the first major debuts of former Pride FC stars Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, as well as the first Octagon appearances of unbeaten future champs Frankie Edgar and Lyoto Machida. Breen and Bohn take a look at how the nature of MMA free agency has changed since the exodus from Pride, and the wildly different tales of Jackson and Filipovic over the last near-decade.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
