Peter Queally picked apart by Benson Henderson as Bellator lights up Dublin

Benson Henderson epitomised his 'smooth' moniker as he systematically picked apart Ireland's Peter Queally for five rounds in the main event of Bellator 285 in the 3 Arena on Friday evening.

The former UFC and WEC Lightweight champion was a class above 'the showstopper' and cruised to an unanimous decision with all three ringside judges scoring it 49-45 in favour of the American.

It was just twelve years ago that Waterford's Peter Queally was sleeping in his car trying to fit in training sessions however and whenever he could. As he he stood atop the stage last night, serenaded by a near 10,000 strong crowd to the tune of 'Zombie' by The Cranberries, it was clear that Queally was already a winner before he even stepped into the cage.
