Benson Henderson vows to win over 'The Korean Zombie's' baby

The people of Seoul, South Korea have always welcomed Benson Henderson with open arms, but he's still working on one hard-to-please MMA fan.

In preparation for Saturday's UFC Fight Night 79, the half-Korean Henderson spent plenty of time training with "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. One of the country's most popular fighters, Jung recently posted a pair of photos showing his baby daughter's reaction to meeting the former UFC lightweight champion:

However, Henderson thinks he has the problem figured out.

"The last time I was in Korea I made her cry also," Henderson said at a media scrum. "I think it's the hair. Every time, it's just like I've done training, and the hair is a little wild and I go to grab her and she just goes crazy. Oh man, it breaks my heart.

"I will start giving her treats and snacks and start bribing her to like me."
