Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  


i think henderson will wear down edgar and get the sub probably even earlier than the 4th. henderson is a bigger, faster version of maynard who can't be submitted.

What makes you think Edgar can be submitted, He's got out of some pretty nasty subs and never been submitted. Henderson has!

tough one to call for me. Ben Henderson seems faster and stronger, but Frankie is just so god damn good. I'll go with Edgar for now.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

This has gotta be one of the hardest fights to pick but I'm going to pick Edgar by Decision but Hendo will tear up the division again rematch Edgar and win by Submission either way should be an awesome fight I just don't think Hendo is there quite yet but who knows this could be a year of changed champions

If Edgar can beat Maynard I am pretty sure he can beat Bendo who is worse than Maynard in every aspect.

Maybe you could try talking about what you LIKE about your favorite fighters, instead of focusing so much on what you DISLIKE about your least favorite fighters.

Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong Decision  

I don't necessarily think that Henderson is worse at everything than Maynard.  He's different.  Henderson is a whole lot more athletic and dynamic, which I think is likely to create some unique difficulties for Edgar.  At the same time, I think that Henderson is more of a risk taker, and will probably get tagged more than Maynard, which I believe will lead to Edgar's victory.  I'm still debating as to whether I think Edgar will be able to stop Henderson or not, but I think I'll probably stay with the safer bet and pick Edgar by decision.  I could easily see Frankie out boxing Henderson with his superior footwork and counter punching abilities, not to mention his take down defense.

Well this. Other than striking (boxing, muay thai, kickboxing, TKD), jiujitsu (both offensively and defensively), cardio (by a longshot), chin, and mental game.

Maynard is a better wrestler, striker, has more power and is bigger. The only thing Bendo has going for him is maybe better cardio and a little bit faster. Edgar will win this by being the superior fighter.

All I remember Bendo as is the guy who got kicked in the face and out-grappled by Pettis.

both henderson and cerrone will beat up maynard and edgar before its over. maynard could not even finish edgar twice when he had him injured. i guarantee henderson would have finished edgar off if the roles are reversed. here is another truth. edgar is five foot 5 inches and maynard is five feet 7 inches. henderson is a legit five feet 9 inches and cerrone is legit 5 feet 11 inches.. they are just bigger, stonger fighters than those two. you will see at the weigh ins and i will be proven right.

Maynard is a monster by fight time! No way is Ben bigger, or stronger than Maynard. Bj would **** up Ben Henderson's day anyway.
