Benson Henderson’s Toothpick

A lot of questions over whether or now Benson Henderson had a toothpick in his mouth. You can see that the fight ends and the picture cuts away for a few seconds. Between the bell ringing for the end of the fight and the toothpick appearing, nobody is near him and nobody can throw the toothpick to him. He doesn’t have the opportunity to pick it off the canvas or catch it from someone throwing it to him. The only explanation is that he had it in his mouth for the entire 5th round, if not the entire fight.
