I find it funny that Henderson won the last fight, but came out with a laundry list of injuries compared to Edgar, but I picked Edgar last time and got the short end of the stick not gonna happen again.

I think Edgar is better, but  the thing is that Edgar lacks power, and Henderson is too big for him, so unless Edgar submits henderson which I don't see happening Ben is gonna win again either by decision or KO. BTW I think Edgar wonthe decision last time but, he didn't inflict real damage (at least at first sight) so the judges went with Ben and they are probably do the same again

Hopefully this is the end of immediate title rematches at LW, there is too much talent in the weight class to be clogging up the top by having these rematches.

@live i couldnt agree more, it feels like the hw division when it seemed like every other fight was arlovski vs big tim.  Except now we have all these contenders jumping at the bit and occasionally beating eachother.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

i think henderson smashes him for good and dana will tell him to goto FW and win one fight down there and then face aldo for the title. FW is a much weaker division while the LW division is the most stacked in the UFC.

And if the last 2 rematches (Penn/Edgar II, Edgar Maynard III) are any indication then Ben will win here. Seriously the rematches arent changing anything so quit doing them

Yeah, I really hope Benson wins, because a rubber match would suck for the whole divison. I want to see guys like Nate Diaz, Cowboy Cerrone or Anthony Pettis fighting for the title...

I hope Benson steamrolls him, and becomes the first person to finish Edgar.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

Pretty interesting fight ..... not really.  I did some boxing with Brian Kinney hear at the campus.  Guy trained with Custamato near or at the same time Tyson did.  He mentioned to me that in his opinion Edgar had the best footwork in MMA.  Having not been at the time an Edgar fan I went back and watched some of his fights and I can see what he is saying.  He is really quick.  Its true he doesn't have the greatest punching power,  but makes up for it with the number of punches he lands.  

All that said its foolish to really believe that Edgar actually deserved the nod in the first fight.  Bendo had more significant strikes as well as more overall strikes.  Edgar had 5 take downs to Henderson's 1 but attempted 12.  No damage was done during the take downs while Ben attempted 3 submissions.   While the fight was close the clear edge went to Henderson.  You can verify the numbers from Fight Matrix.  

I actually see second fight going the same way.  Henderson wins a decision 48-47.

I understood giving the rematch for Edgar/Maynard, but this is ridiculous.  I didn't even agree with giving the rematch against BJ Penn.  I thought Edgar had him the first time, and he basically proved the judges right by dominating BJ Penn in the second fight.  I feel the same way about Henderson winning.  I can't say that Henderson will be dominant against Edgar, but I don't think he'll lose.  Henderson is just better at the moment, IMO, and a rematch won't change that.

I don't even really care about the outcome of this one, I'm just excited to see Diaz fight either one of them for the belt!
