Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

I like bocek but i think bendo will avoid subs and keep more of a backed off striking approach and on the ground scramble away.

bendo just has really good defense and i think his flashiness will impress the judges enough to get the nod.

Bendo has shown fantastic sub defense but the fact he gets him self stuck in them makes me weary especially letting a guy like Bocek get a hold of you...if I'm going to change any of my picks for 129 this is the one

I'm expecting a good round 1 and a toss up in round 2. Bendo will RNC in the second.

Prediction: wrong Bocek   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

This is a rather close matchup in which I believe Bocek has the only serious advantage; jits. Also, Bocek has impressed me several times, e.g. in his fight against Jim Miller. Bocek Sub 2.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

Tapology has this fight on the prelims, but UFC.com says it will open the PPV which I think is a great decision. I love watching both of these guys fight. I'm hoping Henderson will protect his neck well enough to deliver some punishment but I have a hard time seeing him finish this one.

Prediction: wrong Bocek   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Im pumped for this fight, Benson is going to be very hungry since that loss to Showtime. I see Bocek getting a sub though, either from his back, or top position.

Prediction: wrong Bocek   wrong Decision  

If the Mark Bocek who arguably beats Jim Miller shows up, he can beat Ben Henderson. However, given Bendo's submission defense, I think Bocek might have to settle for a more positional game.
