Good fight. I think Eddie starts 0-2 though.

Prediction: Henderson  |  Decision

I think it will be a great fight, but I don't agree with it. If EA loses his hype train will be very weakened, personally I would still think he's a great fighter, but from a casual perspective his UFC record would be 0-2. Also this fight would be a perfect 5 rounder, I love McGregor and realize from a hype standpoint he needs to be in the main event. But realistically that fight will end before the judges can put their opinions in, meanwhile we may be left wanting more like after the Alvarez/Cerrone fight.

This is a horrible matchup for Eddie. But definitely a winnable fight. If RDA can land a good shot on Bendo, Eddie can too. But he probably doesn't have the power that RDA has, so that complicates things for him.

They really threw Eddie to the dogs, I think they either signed him to a 2 fight contract so they can slice his pay after this or they're just going to cut him altogether. It's not a good matchup, two man previously ontop of the world that are in serious need of soul searching to find their stride's again being pitted against eachother? Surely it will be great to watch though.

Idk, the beating RDA gave Henderson, who knows how well he's recovered, so... I think I called it?

I think they're giving Eddie the "look, Bellator isn't that good" treatment.

First they show the world that Bellator champ means jack **** in the UFC, then they start matching him up properly so he can start earning that pay check by headlining ****.

Yeah, Eddie is making a lot of money. He's not getting an easy fight any time soon.

I used to hate everything about Bendo. But once he got knocked out, he's kind of growing on me.

Gonna be a pretty close/good fight. Bendo should and probably will be the favorite but the dude has looked very hittable in his recent outings. Expecting a war.

Bendo is atleast a little bit better in every aspect. I see him controlling this fight and possibly even getting the finish toward the end.

Not in every aspect ... Eddie is by far the better striker ... I don't think the margin is enough to sway the outcome, but Eddie's striking is way better than Bendo's.

Bendo isn't really "as big as advertised", he's just got trunks for legs.

@Yoss


I know what you mean about people exaggerating Bendo size, but he is a pretty dam big light weight. He walks around at like high 180's. He also looked pretty big against Nate Diaz who a large light weight.  Bendo is short, but he very broad/muscular and has massive legs. Honestly I don't even think he be very undersized if at all at welter weight.
