DENVER -- Benson Henderson is still the UFC lightweight champion of the world, but he might not be able to use the term "undisputed." Henderson earned a controversial split decision win over the man he had beaten for the belt in February, Frankie Edgar, in the five-round main event of Saturday nights UFC 150 at Denvers Pepsi Center. Edgar earned a 49-46 score on judge Tony Weeks card, but Mark Van Tine and Dave Hagens scores of 48-47 for Henderson allowed "Smooth" to retain his championship belt. Henderson looked to be in control early, buckling his opponent with powerful low kicks and ending the first round by applying a guillotine choke. But Edgar changed the course of the fight in the second, flooring Henderson with a crisp right hand. The momentum-changer set the tone for the final 15 minutes of the bout, which went back and forth and resulted in several close rounds. Rounds three and five were the closest frames, featuring Hendersons power against Edgars volume and movement. Edgar was the busier fighter while Henderson looked to land knockout blows. In the end, Henderson got the victory -- taking rounds one, three and four on the winning cards -- but the Pepsi Center crowd voiced its disapproval by showering the octagon with boos. UFC President Dana White didnt say who he personally felt won the fight but suggested the contest even heading into the fifth and final round. He did acknowledge the decision was at least somewhat controversial but said the result simply highlights what he often tells his fighters. "Its one of those controversial decisions," White said. "Im not a judge, but Ben Henderson won the fight tonight. He retained his title, and thats the end of it. I know there were a lot of people that scored the fight differently, but I tell these guys all the time, If you dont like the way the judges score, dont let it get there. Dont let it get there." With the win, Henderson will next face Nate Diaz, who White declared the No. 1 contender earlier in the week. "God bless him," Henderson said. "Its going to be a fun fight. Hes a tough fighter. "Theres a long list of guys. I have a bullseye on my back. Lets go. Lets do it." Edgar has now dropped back-to-back fights to Henderson and will again have to address whether or not his 5-foot-6 frame is best suited for the featherweight division. "I thought I brought it to him," Edgar said. "Im upset, man." Edgar, who also contends he should have been awarded the victory in the pairs first meeting, said he and his team felt they had done enough to notch a win this time around, as well. However, he said the only available option is to simply move on from the defeat. "It doesnt really matter what I think at this point," Edgar said. "That decision is never going to change, so it is what it is." The evenings other main event lasted just 76 seconds, but delivered big on excitement from start to finish. At the opening bell, friends and former training parters Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone and Melvin Guillard clashed quickly in the center of the octagon. Guillard struck first with a crisp left that floored Cerrone, and he rushed forward to finish. Cerrone looked to be in trouble as he tried to recover from the blow, but somehow survived the barrage of knees and punches and retreated to safety. Then everything changed. A Cerrone high kick grazed Guillards head but landed flush enough to wobble him. Cerrone saw the opening and pounced with a powerful right hand that floored his opponent. A follow-up shot sealed the deal 76 seconds after it began. Cerrone earned a US$60,000 bonus check for the evenings "Knockout of the Night," and both "Cowboy" and Guillard earned another US$60,000 for the evenings "Fight of the Night."
