Takes out Rani Yahya in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
April 27, 2024
Henry defeated Rani Yahya via TKO (strikes) at 2:36 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a rout when all was said and done, but Henry was underwhelming for the five-plus minutes before turning it on. The rest of the way, he was dominant. Over the course of the final 7:36, Henry finished with a 124-33 edge in terms of total strikes landed and picked up a pair of knockdowns. This fight could have ended at multiple points in Round 2 before it was finally called off by referee Jason Herzog midway through Round 3. Set to turn 37 years of age next week, Henry is no spring chicken himself. He needs to try to get back in the Octagon ASAP following this win.

Will take on Yahya in April
BantamweightUFC
March 8, 2024
Henry will fight Rani Yahya at UFC Vegas 91 on April 27 in a bantamweight bout, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Henry last stepped on the octagon in October 2023, but an accidental low blow transformed his fight against Javid Basharat into a no-contest. Henry has gone 2-1 over his last three completed fights, with his latest win coming against Tony Gravely via split decision on March 11, 2023.
Low blow leads to no contest
BantamweightUFC
October 21, 2023
Henry and Javid Basharat fought to a no-contest (accidental low blow) at 0:15 of Round 2 at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Another strange finish. Following a close first round that probably went Basharat's way, Henry got cracked with a kick that landed low. He immediately dropped to the ground in a massive amount of pain. Henry took the full five minutes, which no one seemingly ever does, and never came close to improving. At one point, the doctor entered the Octagon and told Henry it wasn't a direct groin shot and the blow shouldn't have caused this much damage. Well, it did, and if it didn't, Henry is one of the greatest actors of our time. The fight ended up being ruled a no-contest. Perhaps the UFC will try to book these two again in the not-too-distant future.
Fighting undefeated Basharat

Henry will fight Javid Basharat in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 79 on Sept. 23, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Henry's next fight is against a bantamweight undefeated across his 14 bouts. Like Henry, both fighters have gone the distance in each of their three UFC fights so far, but with Henry going 2-1 instead of 3-0.
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
BantamweightUFC
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.
