Move over Dae Han, there's a new Korean badass in town.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight titleholder Ben Henderson, whose mother is Korean, made a trip back to the motherland recently to visit friends and family, as well as suit up for a little Tae Kwon Do practice. Not surprisingly, he made a "Smooth" entrance, complete with paparazzi and furious flashbulbs.

All the bells and whistles you would expect for a UFC champion.

Henderson took home the division's strap with a unanimous decision win over Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 last Saturday night (Feb. 25, 2012) in Saitama, Japan. It was his second major title at 155-pounds, having first secured the WEC Lightweight Championship back in 2010.

See the hero get his welcome, after the jump.



Who's next for the "Smooth" one? Get all the details on his big win at UFC 144 (plus all the post-fight fallout) right here.
