Just wanted to show some appreciation for Benson SMOOTH Henderson.







Also, does anyone know how to see the Henderson/Njokuani fight?

@Zarog, what insults are you referring to? And I haven't thumbed down anybody. Last time I checked a forum was for voicing opinions

Forget what happened last time Pettis/Henderson fought. Right now or in a few months when they fight Benson will destroy Pettis. Bendo will finish him within 2 rounds guaranteed.

I really dont think anyone is going to dominate Anthony Pettis.
And i dont see anyone at 155 finishing him, idk. Just for some reason when i think of Anthony pettis i think of the best fighter at 155 and how he cant be finished hardly at all.  im in the middle if the Henderson rematch. Idk who would win but if i had to guess i would have to go with Anthony Pettis. Just because of what did happen in their last fight, even though they both have gotten better.
Just my opinion
I really like both fighters though and wish they were not in the same weight class
I want benson at 170 :D.  He could challenge GSP i believe fairly well.

Yeah Benson Henderson is a beast. I still don't understand how dana white thinks edgar won.. i mean sure he caught some kicks.. but what did he do with it most the time? nothing.. henderson nearly knocked edgar out and submitted him.. gotta appreciate a guy who goes into finish a fight.

Other then beating Bendo Pettis really hasn't beaten anyone. Wins over Jeremy Stephens and Joe Lauzon are nice but come on. Bendo has beaten Jim Miller and beat him easily then he beats Clay Guida who's very tough and then he beats Frankie Edgar. Their resume's are very far apart since coming to the UFC. Benson is on another level then Pettis right now. There will be no crazy kicks in this one. Just Bendo taking Pettis down and beating his face in which will probably lead to a submission late in the 2nd round.

You completely nullified your argument in the first 3 words, "Pettis beat Henderson"

@p4pgoat you also said " There will be no crazy kicks in this one" which is obviously a fact and a brilliant point. Your are one of my favorite posters on here, justynbomar is still ahead of you but thats about it...

I had to add my two cents on this forum thread just cause smooth is a beast. I mean I was watching the promo on tv and telling my buddy just how much of a beast smooth really is. He's got it all for a lightweight, crazy fast, crazy strong, good stand up, better wrestling, amazing grappling skills both to get subs and to stay out of them. and he's super big for a lightweight. I've been a huge fan of him since the wec and i was devastated when he was on the receiving end of that matrix kick but I always knew he'd be the ufc champion. One of my greatest moments was to watch him fight in Toronto, and I think he'll have the longest reign as lightweight champ, no disrespect to bj penn's record right now.

Why isn't this a Jon Fitch appreciation thread?
