Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong Decision  

Fight is being talked about by Dana White for the main event in Japan... so here we go. I'll go ahead and take the athletic and dynamic challenger, but could change my mind.

Everyone will keep underestimating Edgar. I think that's ok with him. He likes it that way. Keep betting against Frankie and his skills and heart. I really like Bendo but he has a enourmous challenge ahead of him.

It's a tough fight for me to make a prediction on.  I'm not sure stylistically it's a good fight for Frankie.  But we'll see...

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  

@Alias You think Edgar will knock Bendo out?  I just don't think he has the power.  Henderson has a crazy chin and Frankie isn't known for knocking people out or being very aggressive.
And yes I realize he KO'd Maynard but it won't happen to Ben.

@Mike He's getting alot of hype now that he didn't really ever have before.  I pride myself in being an original fan since the beginning ;)
There's no way in hell he's overrated.  Frankie is underrated, that's for sure, but Bendo is the real deal.

@mike how is overrated? He beat the number top contender at the time in Jim Miller in dominate fashion and then beat the next top contender Clay Guida also in dominate fashion.

The guy has a great chin and has the BEST submission defense in MMA

and @p4pgoat oh there is and his name is Benson Henderson

I dont think it is entirely him being overrated I just hate how so many people think he is this unstoppable force. Hes an amazing fighter, but he isnt invincible.

Yeah Bendo isn't overated but the people that think he's gonna walk all over Frankie are crazy. It will be a back and forth fight most likely but I think Frankie will do what he does in rounds 4 and 5. Take over.
