Barely gets by Tony Gravely
BantamweightUFC
March 11, 2023
Henry defeated Tony Gravely via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight was much closer than the numbers would leave you to believe. When all was said and done, Henry had a 190-90 edge in total strikes landed. He connected on the more impactful shots throughout the course of the bout. Yet, Gravely managed to hang around, aided by a pair of successful takedowns and some control time. Henry likely deserved the decision, but it would have by no means been a robbery had two of the three judges scored the fight for Gravely. It was a strong rebound effort from Victor on the heels of a dreadful unanimous decision loss to Raphael Assuncao last October. The 35-year-old California native has won three of his last four dating back to October 2021.
Hoping to bounce back against Gravely

January 26, 2023
Henry will take on Tony Gravely at UFC Vegas 71 on March 11, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Henry was a massive favorite going into his most recent fight against Raphael Assuncao last October, but would end up getting blasted and losing by unanimous decision. Henry can not afford another performance like that in early March.
No-shows loss as huge favorite
BantamweightUFC
October 15, 2022
Henry lost to Raphael Assuncao via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a potential career-altering defeat for Henry. He made his UFC debut this past January, taking a unanimous decision from Raoni Barcelos. He then entered as a -400 favorite here against the 40-year-old Assunaco, only to fall flat on his face. There's a case to be made Henry deserved what was a very close Round 1, but that's where the good times ended. Henry did an excellent job of pushing the pace the entire fight, but he somehow still managed to get off second in the vast majority of the striking exchanges between the two men. Having turned 35 years of age this past May, time clearly isn't on Henry's side.
Next fight booked for October
BantamweightUFC
August 21, 2022
Henry will face off against Raphael Assuncao at the UFC event on Oct. 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Henry scored his first UFC victory in his debut with the promotion in January, defeating Raoni Barcelos via unanimous decision. Henry will look to earn a second straight win against the 40-year-old Assuncao, who is coming off a knee injury that's kept him out of the cage since December 2021.
Stunning win at UFC 270
BantamweightUFC
January 22, 2022
Henry defeated Raoni Barcelos via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 270 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Henry fought for 15 different promotions before making his UFC debut in this one. He entered as a +360 underdog and proceeded to put forth one of the best debuts efforts against a high-level opponent in recent memory. Looking calm and composed from the very start, Henry leaned on his cardio, and most importantly, plenty of volume in the striking game to emerge victorious. He attempted 397 total strikes compared to just 277 from Barcelos. Just as importantly, he defended 6-of-7 takedown attempts from the Brazilian. It was a stellar all-around effort from Henry that few could have seen coming. His next challenge will be following up this performance with another strong one his next time out.
