Prediction: wrong Bocek   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Tough one to pick. Bocek looked really good against Jim Miller, who I think is much better than anyone Henderson has faced. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see a submission finish, regardless of what Cerrone's done, but a decision seems most likely.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

Decision for Henderson. Bad matchup for Bocek. HE has to fight a guy who is a better striker, has get take-down defense, and is virtually impossible to sub. Henderson by decision in a pretty exciting fight like most Bendo fights.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

Looking forward to seeing this fight.  Bocek did look really good against Jim Miller and submitted Dustin Hazelett.  I'm hoping to see Benson at his best coming off of a loss though.  I think he might have the better ground game and the edge in striking.  Either way I think it's going to be a close fight.  Right now I'm leaning toward Benson.

Prediction: wrong Bocek   wrong Decision  


Mark Bocek not only did good against Jim Miller, he beat him! But because the fight was held in New Jersey, then judges gave the fight to the hometown kid... Mark Bocek has a tough fight ahead of him in Ben Henderson, but I think he can pull it off. His standing is not at an elite level, but it has improved fight after fight. As for his ground game, well, he submitted Dustin Hazelett... enough said. I think Mark Bocek will edge Ben Henderson out.

Bocek is a tough test for Ben. But, I think Smooth will be too slick on the ground.

I think Bocek is pretty underrated too and a good fighter. I have a feeling he is going to out grapple Ben Henderson and get a decision or possibly even submit him.

I like Bocek in this one.  He is a great fighter and put on a great fight against Miller who is an absolute animal so Henderson will have a bit a pressure on him.
