Love that Cowboy's taking the fight, but don't see the quick turnaround working for him against Smooth.

Prediction: correct Cerrone   correct Decision  

There isn't a more active fighter than Cerrone in the LW division. 12-2 in picking his fights, he must be one of the most active LW's out there.

Prediction: wrong Henderson   wrong Decision  

The size of the balls on Cerrone is seriously inhuman. That said, I get the feeling that Cerrone doesn't really care as much as other guys to be champ. I think he just likes cashing checks. If he beats Benson though, he's right there for the next title shot after RDA if anything happens to Khabib that prevents him from fighting.

Prediction: wrong Henderson   wrong Decision  

Just finished rewatching their first 2 fights. Not sure what to think about who's gonna win this. Cerrone has gotten a lot better at using his knee to ward off takedowns and hurt guys trying to come in on him. I think that might actually be a key difference between the upcoming bout and their earlier fights. Though, the very small layoff is probably not going to help Cerrone as cutting weight again that quickly might hamper his performance. Not sure who to pick yet.

Good news, it will be refreshing to see Cerrone in the octagon again after such a long layoff.

Prediction: wrong Henderson   wrong Decision  

Cerrone has been on a tear lately, but Henderson is looking for a rebound and history usually repeats itself. Henderson has won the last two fights between them.

I think Cerrone has improved way more than Bendo has since their last fights. I still think I'll be picking Bendo though. He's stylistically a bad match up for Cowboy.

@CthulhuJones Cerrone has not only improved - he has changed. Hell, nowadays he fights more like Jose Aldo than like his old self. Will Bendo get inside? Definitely. But he'll eat some gas-draining knees before that happens.

Prediction: wrong Henderson   wrong Decision  

Yeah, this is definitely a toss up fight. Cowboy has looked like a world beater since his loss to RDA. It wouldn't surprise me if Cowboy was able to keep Bendo on the outside and pick him apart, or knock him out with a headkick. I think Bendo will be too strong for him though. I see a lot of takedowns, and wall and stall coming his way. Should be an awesome fight regardless of who wins.

I'm intrigued as to what the vegas odds on this fight will be. My guess would be Bendo will be a slight favorite around -150

Getting the guy who beat the one who pulled out as a LATE replacement ... Dana and Joe Silva must love Donald Cerrone. I bet Joe masturbates to Cowboy posters.

I've got Bendo as a place-holder since he won both their prio fights pretty convincingly, though I'm going to revisit this after giving it a good ol' think ... may change to Cerrone via **** you kicks.

This should be a 5 rounder..  I don't see Cerrone getting choked out again but his slow starting tendency concerns me in this one...  Tough call so....**** it.  War Cerrone!
