i think that it will go to ben by decision again but being more dominant this time, then frankie will drop and fight jose. but who knows what will happen we will see this summer.

I'm split on this one, I'm not over excited to this again with all the other good lw's waiting but it's just fair to give him the rematch so Idk what to do with that news...

Great, Frankie will out-strike and out-grapple Henderson again. Hopefully the judges aren't wearing blindfolds this time.

i wish people would stop trying to score striking on a volume basis, this isn't Olympic Boxing people.  Landing more strikes doesn't mean you won the fight.

The guy gave two rematches before for christ sake, hes earned at least one in a fight many people thought was very close at the time. Tbh, if Edgar doesnt take the title I dont see ANYONE else doing it.

@Rusello I agree 100%, unless Frankie can beat him this time around (which I don't think he will), Ben will probably be champ for a while.

It wasn't an exciting fight the first time around, and I'm don't think it will be any better this time.   But i agree with everyone that says Frankie has earned the right to a rematch bc he had to do 2 himself.  Having said that, if its a draw I wouldn't be surprised...then what?

The UFC got this 100% right. The guy that deserves the shot is getting it. That's the way it should be.

he will lose. he is just too short to beat the newer bigger versions of lightweight out there.

Kinda sucks for all the other contenders at 155. Sort of like that logjam/cluster**** that Edgar/Maynard 2 made last year, but it probably won't be anywhere near as bad. Frankie probably deserves it just because it was such a close fight, and a decent one too.
