First submission loss of career
BantamweightUFC
November 2, 2024
Henry lost to Charles Jourdain via submission (guillotine choke) at 3:43 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Edmonton.
ANALYSIS
It's a very difficult result for Henry in a fight in which he appeared to be finding his range. Victor struggled in the striking exchanges between the two, but was successful with his grappling throughout the bout. He landed a pair of takedowns in each round, but was eventually caught in a guillotine choke from which he could not escape. This was the 32nd career professional fight for the 37-year-old Henry and his first submission defeat to date. The good news for Victory is that with a 2-1 (1NC) record in his past four bouts, his roster spot is plenty secure.

Division newcomer inbound
BantamweightUFC
September 11, 2024
Henry is scheduled to compete against Charles Jourdain in a bantamweight fight at UFC Edmonton on Nov. 2, per Aaron Bronsteter of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
To get his third win in four fights, Henry will take on the UFC bantamweight division's new fighter, a former featherweight in Jourdain. Even though the latter was inconsistent at featherweight, he had some great highs, including four finishes in six of his UFC wins.
Takes out Rani Yahya in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
April 27, 2024
Henry defeated Rani Yahya via TKO (strikes) at 2:36 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a rout when all was said and done, but Henry was underwhelming for the five-plus minutes before turning it on. The rest of the way, he was dominant. Over the course of the final 7:36, Henry finished with a 124-33 edge in terms of total strikes landed and picked up a pair of knockdowns. This fight could have ended at multiple points in Round 2 before it was finally called off by referee Jason Herzog midway through Round 3. Set to turn 37 years of age next week, Henry is no spring chicken himself. He needs to try to get back in the Octagon ASAP following this win.
Will take on Yahya in April
BantamweightUFC
March 8, 2024
Henry will fight Rani Yahya at UFC Vegas 91 on April 27 in a bantamweight bout, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Henry last stepped on the octagon in October 2023, but an accidental low blow transformed his fight against Javid Basharat into a no-contest. Henry has gone 2-1 over his last three completed fights, with his latest win coming against Tony Gravely via split decision on March 11, 2023.
Low blow leads to no contest
BantamweightUFC
October 21, 2023
Henry and Javid Basharat fought to a no-contest (accidental low blow) at 0:15 of Round 2 at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Another strange finish. Following a close first round that probably went Basharat's way, Henry got cracked with a kick that landed low. He immediately dropped to the ground in a massive amount of pain. Henry took the full five minutes, which no one seemingly ever does, and never came close to improving. At one point, the doctor entered the Octagon and told Henry it wasn't a direct groin shot and the blow shouldn't have caused this much damage. Well, it did, and if it didn't, Henry is one of the greatest actors of our time. The fight ended up being ruled a no-contest. Perhaps the UFC will try to book these two again in the not-too-distant future.
Fighting undefeated Basharat
BantamweightUFC
August 10, 2023
Henry will fight Javid Basharat in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 79 on Sept. 23, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Henry's next fight is against a bantamweight undefeated across his 14 bouts. Like Henry, both fighters have gone the distance in each of their three UFC fights so far, but with Henry going 2-1 instead of 3-0.
