Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Henry began his MMA career in 2011. Before joining the UFC, Henry amassed a record of 10-2. Henry fought the majority of his fights in South Africa with EFC Worldwide and in his final fight for their promotion beat Igeu Kabesa for their featherweight championship.[2]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Henry made his promotional debut on 16 July 2017 at UFC Fight Night 113 against Daniel Teymur.[3] He won the fight by unanimous decision earning Fight of the Night honors.[4][5]

Henry next fight came at UFC Fight Night 127 against Hakeem Dawodu.[6][7] He won his fight against the sizable favourite Dawodu by guillotine at 39 seconds into the first round.[8][9]

Henry faced Dan Ige at UFC Fight Night: Till vs. Masvidal on 16 March 2019.[10][11] He lost the fight via a rear-naked choke submission in the first round.[12]

Henry was briefly linked to a bout with Mike Davis on 28 September 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 18.[13] However, Henry pulled out of the bout for undisclosed reasons in mid-September. In turn, Davis was pulled from the card and is expected to be rescheduled for a future event.[14]

Henry was expected to face promotional newcomer Peter Barrett on 25 April 2020.[15] However, on 9 April Dana White, the president of UFC, announced that this event was postponed to a future date[16]

Henry faced Makwan Amirkhani on 12 July 2020 at UFC 251.[17] He lost the fight via a submission in round one.[18]
