Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

Apparently stating that neither Henderson or Edgar are going to get T/KOed warrants a down vote. Such an insult to both fighters, saying that they have great chins. God forbid I actually make a prediction.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  

@zarog I evened it out for you because that's a completely valid statement.  Edgar and Bendo both have tremendous chins and heart, so a TKO is very unlikely.

@Fresno Cool bro. Sometimes people are a little quick with down thumbs. Anything that is written that is not found in history or in numbers, is clearly an opinion. I don't know if people think statements on the forums about predictions are supposed to be fact or what. 

Also, did you lose a location bet Fresno? Or what's with that?

Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong Decision  

I don't think Frankie will finish Beno.
But Ido think Bendo will have massive troubles with Frankie's technical boxing and wrestling.
He might take a round or 2, but I think Edgar convincingly wins this.

Every time I've picked against Edgar I was wrong, so I'm going with the litte Jersey boy retaining his title

Taking Edgar even though Henderson should be able to take this one.  Edgar's TDD is excellent, and he is the better technical boxer than Henderson.  I see him sticking and moving like classic Frankie Edgar and taking a decision.

I'm backing Edgar on this one. But the fights a coin toss to me. Henderson is an amazing fighter, he has the skills and focus that he should be able to take this, most likely by submission as Frankie doesn't seem to have an off button.
But Frankie will probably win anyway, because that's what he does.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I think Henderson i just to good for pretty much anyone in the 155 pound division, he is a really good overall fighter and doesn't really seem to have any areas that are all that weak. I think he is gonna be able to get the sub toward the later rounds or win a UD it should be a hell of a fight though.

Frankie is one of those guys everyone underestimates because he is not very agressive. I'm not picking against him. That's for sure.

As of today, I am thinking Henderson edges out a close decision win.

Frankie is incredibly hittable, I think he'll replicate what Maynard did but actually get the finish.

Heart and determination can only take you so far and Frankie has an opponent with just as much heart and determination. I see Bendo rocking Frankie and locking up a guillotine

You must let me see this heart/determination measuring device you have, because without it Frankie has 'shown' way more.

The more and more i think about this the more i believe Frankie will pull this off. I just realized that ive picked against Frankie in pretty much all of his fights. And guess what, ive been wrong every time. I really like frankie and hope he wins. At first I thought Henderson would win this easily, but now im thinking frankie is going to use his movement as always to get away from the yet again bigger henderson. Im going to have to say Frankie is going to win this one by a decision.

I doubt anyone will win easily over Edgar, but Ben Henderson is a special kind of fighter... I think he can pull it off.
