Then Henderson did what 99 per cent of the MMA community thought would never happen - yes even those who picked him - he dominated Miller. Sure teh first round was pretty close but from Round 2, it was Bendo time and he reminded everyone just how overall good he is.
Ben Henderson is still young and improving. That Petis loss wasn't a fluke but Henderson was slightly less the fighter he is becoming now (plus it was pretty close untill that infamous kick). Henderson showed tonight that he is here to stay and now it's time for the MMA community to realise this and give him some props.

The leg lock was nasty I thought for sure that was gonna be the end of the fight can't believe he survived it, it looked like it was locked in. Big ups to Ben

I was never worried! I learned a lot about Bendo while he was in the WEC. 1)He can't be submitted, it's just impossible. 2)His chin is made of pure titanium. and 3)He is a champion caliber fighter.
And after last night, when he was caught in that kneebar, I learned another thing. 4)His calf muscle by itself is stronger than both of Jim Miller's arms.

There was only one close sub attempt at that was the knee bar. The Kimora's were defended well and Bendo landed huge bombs after each one of Miller's sub attempts, not to mention we all saw how nasty Cerrone cranked on those limbs and Bendo didn't even grimice during them. The standing arm triangle was a cool attempt, but i can't recall anyone pulling off that sub from guard since jeremy horn way back in the day.....
Personally i was shocked in the fashion Henderson dominated Miller, i definately think he should fight Guida for the next title shot. Where that leaves Cerrone and Guillard is up in the air being 3 of those 4 are Team Jackson fighters.....
