Victor Henry (fighter)

Victor Westley Henry[3] (born May 4, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Henry's eagerness to learn and improve his wrestling skills caught Barnett's attention, solidifying a partnership that would become a turning point in his journey as a fighter.

[8] In August 2010, Henry started his MMA career with a debut win in Pomona, California, securing a submission victory via rear-naked choke against Dillion Croushorn.

They continued to excel, notching wins in Pomona in October 2010 and January 2012, where they showcased their skills with a guillotine choke victory over Bobby Sanchez in a catchweight (140 lb) match at Respect in the Cage 16.

[10] July 2014 brought a redemption moment in Tokyo, Japan, where they earned a TKO victory over Hideo Tokoro at Grandslam MMA: Way of the Cage, getting Henry back on the winning track.

[11] With a quick return to America, Henry became the CS Bantamweight Champion in Tacoma, Washington, with a armbar win over Cory Vom Baur at CageSport 32.

Henry continued his winning streak in August 2018, finishing Takafumi Otsuka via body kick knockout at Deep: 85 Impact.

[14] Due to the ongoing pandemic, Henry could not enter Japan and therefore was forced to take bouts outside of the country, with this decision resulting in a setback as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Denis Lavrentyev at Parus FC in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in a match for the Parus FC Bantamweight Championship.

However, the fighter made a strong comeback in October 2021, securing a submission victory with a rear-naked choke against Albert Morales at LXF 6 with this win earning him the LOXP Bantamweight Championship.
