Yeah. I was worried about Guillard lol

[SeanTaylorRIP]

ZOMG, Cerrone vs Pettis for #1 contender has to happen now. Nate Diaz has next but yeah that fight has to happen. I'd also love to see Diaz vs either of the guys I mentined above.

Nate already owned Cerrone though.

If nate wins the belt, it will have been enough fights between that they can sel it again. Also the whole Cerrone fighting too much that year and being warn down storyline could also work. If that rematch ends up somehow happening whether its for the belt or not, I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I had it to frankie also, and I didn't think it was really that close. I though Frankie easily won 3 if not 4 rounds. I guess I saw it differently than a lot of people including two of the judges.

Yeah I guess. But Edgar did more it looked like to me.
Lot of little kicks and jabs but nothing really seemed to get Frankie

[fenikz]

those little kicks knocked Edgar on his ass 4 or 5 times

Honestly i'd probably go rounds 1 & 2 to Benson 3 draw 4 & 5 to Edgar

I don't feel like Bendo at all landed as much as Frankie. I often question those stats considering they are subjective anyhow. Like judges, refs, journalists, and fans, the person deciding those stats are sometimes off and in a fast and close fight like this, who knows what those stats really mean? I personally though Frankie won at least rounds 2,4, and 5. Round 3 was just nothing really, but I thought Frankie even won that one.

Fwiw me too I had the fight a draw.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

This fight was a waste, they could fight 100x more and every fight would be like this, Frankie negates Bendo's wrestling, Frankie has better hands but can't get in range with Bendo who controls distance and lands with more power, honestly it just comes down to Frankie didn't do enough to earn the belt and in 5 rounds vs Bendo didn't do enough to show he's a better fighter. If Frankie was the champ then I would give it to him but since it's Bendo got to go with him. Anyways Bendo fights vs Diaz, Cerrone, and Pettis are all far more exciting than Frankie fights vs any of them.

[Bert Macklin]

If you thought Frankie could box wait until you see Nate strike! One of the most accurate strikers I've ever seen.

Did they really knock him down? to me they looked more like he landed a sweep or trip over a knock down.

[djp]

I thought Henderson won both times thy fought, but I seem to be in the minority. Just shows how evenly matched they really are.

[Bengals78]

Last night was definitely quantity over quality for the judges.

[nepg]

It was a toss-up, but toss-ups should always go to the champ, imo.

I thought Benson pretty cleary won the first fight. This one was a lot closer, maybe slight edge to Frankie but it was just so close that I was fine with the decision. Henderson v Diaz is going to be incredible.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Benson just can't trade, including vs Pettis and Edgar he gets in trouble when he tries to trade, he always gets clipped when he tries to brawl. On his feet he just needs to keep distance and use his powerful leg kicks, he can't get in a boxing match or he will get dominated. I just can't wait until the fight goes to the ground. Diaz's sick jitz against Bendo who can't be choked. The issue is Bendo can't get cocky and overconfident in his sub defense like he normally does because he constantly leaves his neck out because he doesn't think he can get choked out but Nate could choke him out if he's wreckless. He needs to fight Nate the way he fought Jim Miller. If Bendo uses his wrestling he can control Nate from the top he just needs to be careful.

[fenikz]

I don't think Henderson stands a chance vs Diaz unless he just lays on him for 5 rounds

Can't wait for Pettis vs Diaz it will be the fight of the year whenever it happens
