Bendo nearly knocked out a Diaz, that is hard to do. He made that fight look easy and will probably be champ for a long time

There hasn't really been a definitive top guy since BJ lost to Frankie. Does everyone now think Ben is that guy? I do. Who has the best shot of beating him? Frankie in a rematch? Pettis in a rematch? Melendez? Maynard isn't dynamic enough.

I don't think anyone can touch him if he fights the way he did tonight every time. He looked great.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

He can't fight like that every night ...

He can't dominate Maynard like that, Pettis is faster and less predictable than Diaz ... those are just two examples where his game plan would be different, which might affect his performance (for good or for bad, who knows) ...

Edgar, for instance, is much faster than Diaz and has better footwork and you saw how Bendo looked against him.

I think that Diaz, once people aren't intimidated by him is a bit easier to figure out ... especially if you're a strong wrestler (Rory, Maynard, Bendo). He comes straight forward and relies on volume and precision, which will work against strikers like Cerrone or 2nd-tier guys like Miller ... But both Diaz' have the same weaknesses and that's why both of them will lose 9 times out of 10 to their respective champions ... each currently has their perfect kryptonite atop their divisions.

Do you see GSP/Nick going any other way? (minus the knee-jabs :) ) Diaz is a slower, more predictable version of Condit (who doesn't kick) and you saw how GSP mostly dominated him (Condit also displayed a VERY active guard which GSP dealt with fantastically just for those who say Diaz is going to submit him).

Glad someone freeze framed it I knew I saw him flick it out at the bell. I never saw him pull a mouthpiece out before he flicked the toothpick out. Did he even have one in for the final round?

Well, all the Nate fans were proved decisively wrong.  Ben shut down Nate's striking AND his BJJ.  Nate looked worse than he has in a long time.  Nate said he got poked in the eye and it remained blurry the whole fight.

That was unfortunate.  So, that's that.  It was Ben's over-all tools and skills that over-whelmed Nate.  But I still love Nate.  He will come back and win a lot of great fights and continue his fine career.

The Diaz brothers. They somehow manage to disappoint me no matter if I pick for them or against them...

@Bill ... Nate said he got punched in the eye ... not poked.

Anyway, that's classic Diaz, they never lose to a better fighter ... Condit ran and Nate was just waiting for his eye to "repair" itself and then he'd have kicked Bendo's ass ... oh, and of course he didn't REALLY go for the submissions, he went 70% in a championship fight where he was losing and a sub was his only chance of winning ... aha ... whatever ...

Nate could've had an extra eye on his forehead and he'd still be dominated by Bendo ...

Bendo beat his ass there wasn't one point of that fight where I was like well Diaz could still win this. Good job Bendo you are the man.

The Diaz bros are the king of excuses but at least Nate was classy right after the fight. He raised Benson's hand and acknowledged him as the better guy. At least Nate didn't "retire" either right after the fight.
