When WEC was around it was one of my favorite MMA organizations, I got more pumped for WEC then I did UFC. Ive liked Benson since seeing him fight Cerrone for the first time. It's great to see some WEC vets ruling a division inside the UFC. Hope hes champion for a long time.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

A day later and I'm just shocked at how little amount of credit Benson Henderson is getting for one of the smartest fights in UFC history.

Not only was it pretty much a perfect execution of a gameplan and an extremely smart fight, it was entertaining. That cannot be said for most of the smart fights in UFC history.

@Anik Depends on where you go. I've seen several prominent websites with articles making arguments for Henderson to receive fighter of the year.

Bendo's use of leg kicks was awesome. The Diaz brothers are notoriously bad with they're legs until they hit the ground and Bendo capitalized brilliantly on that fact.

Diaz had gave pretty much no resistance to bendo's takedowns. The one thing people forget is Nates horrible takedown defense.

Swickotine, what was that about Bendo having LNP being his only shot at winning? You mentioned his having to worry about some, what was it, boxing? from Diaz? Feel free to expound.    :P

Ok so I had some friends over for the fights this weekend. They showed up late so I had the prelims and the fox card all set up on DVR.

We watch all of the fights get super pumped for the main event and then about 1:30 seconds into the 1st round the ******* god damn DVR stopped recording!!! I was pretty damn upset I can't believe Dish Network doesn't have it record the whole event and just stopped it at 10pm. Needless to say me and my friends were pretty pissed off.

I was able to catch some of it online but from the sounds of things Ben completely dominated Diaz, so congrats to him.

@poir, that sux hard. But as a Diaz fan it also sucked to see him lose like that. Bendo was dominant the whole time and basically didn't give Diaz any good moments. Cesar Gracie said in a post fight interview, Nate fought with blurry vision the last 4 rounds. No clue if it's true but his eye looked damaged...

Very good gameplan from Bendo he deserved the victory.

The blurry vision thing isn't even a very good excuse.  There were plenty of exchanges on the gound in the last rounds, it's not like they were striking at range.  Nate should be able to grappel with a blindfold on if he wants to be a champion, I'll bet Ben can.

Yeah even if it's true the injury happend in the fight, and due to Ben's hands so you can't take anything away from him here. He fought a very good fight.
