another horrible call by the judges
[QUOTE=Ataglance1234;931412053]yes i did
Diaz set a UFC record for most strikes landed, and most accurate[/QUOTE]
I believe he was referring to the fact that Nate didn't let Cerrone kick him hardly at all, negating the need to walk through 100 kicks (which is unrealistic enough)
I didn't even watch the main event because Edgar did not deserve a rematch...
I'm glad that jersey shore **** lost tho..
lol @ Melvin Guillard. Just saw that fight.

x2 .. WOuld of been a step back for the division if he had won back the belt.
I fell asleep after the third round. Still glad there's no trilogy. Let's go 209.
I thought it was pretty cool of Cerrone to not punch Guillard's brains in and go for the sub instead should the ref had not called the fight
What a disgusting decision. Worst than Japan.
Feel bad for Frankie.
Also, what possible reasons could anyone have to hate Frankie? Especially when he is fighting this f@gtastic feminine bible basher, lol.
Frankie got robbed. He won that fight if barely. To bad. I cannot say I happen to be a fan of Frankie but the fact remains...the man is 5'6 fighting in the 155 lb devision. Siver has done it at 5'7 but not gone to long as far as I know. Edgar IMO won that fight and I honestly think Bendo thought so too. I think he was doing some extra-hamming it up after the fight and before the decision and was surprised as Edgar he won.
I thought Frankie had won for sure. He had some control and dominant positions and he had sub attempts. Benson had leg kicks.

He also almost KO'd him in one of the early rounds (second?)
I like Frankie Edgar, but I hate the idea of him winning that fight.

Im not saying Bendo is a finisher but i dont like Edgars point fighting style...

For me it was a combination of him air punching his way to the title (not saying he didn't deserve the decisions, it just seemed obvious that's what he was trying to do), and then bitching about losing the title to Henderson, especially with his face all fugged up.
If he wants to be the undisputed champ he should probably try hurting people with his combinations from time to time
Control time
Edgar - 3:15 mins
Henderson - 0:10 seconds
Edgar only left the fight with a bloody nose, but his nose is always busted, he has had so many surgery's on it, his practice squad says he bleeds during typical sparring. I think they just want to see him drop down. No matter what bull**** you spread, no matter how much you hate Edgar, you know he won that fight last night. Its injustice.

When two fighters are doing nothing the entire fight but landing pitter shots on each other, you got to go with the guy who landed more pitter shots...idk where the **** they got those control time stats from....i guess while frnakie was getting guillotined or successfully doing nothing on the ground...]
im not even a bendo fan, i dont really care if anyone disagrees with my post because it was a close fight that imo was pretty boring

In two fights he dropped Bendo twice. He KO'd Gray. I mean, it's 155 lb's here, not 205. It's not like he's not landing punches.

IMO the "droppings" of Henderson weren't all that dramatic, and while I enjoyed his KO of gray maynard, that is one fight since 2009 that he actually put an exclamation mark on.
I get they are small, but we see 125ers ko'ing each other so I don't really buy that

To say he's not finishing guys is fine. To say he's not [I]trying[/I]...how do you know? It's pretty obvious that the guy just doesn't have a ton of power. I don't think it's gonna benefit him to put the Leben rush on every punch.

im not criticizing either guy, im just stating what i believe is fact...either way im just ready for Nate to bust either one of these guys up

It's kind of weird to think of Nate Diaz as a favorite, but Bendo's gonna have to UD his ass off to get that win.
I like Benson Henderson a lot but I think he slightly lost the fight. It was an extremely tough fight to judge though and could have gone any way.
Not sure why people are bitching about decision fights in light weight. It's a tough, stacked division. I see people bitching on sherdog about Bendo's decision, but people act like it's hard to finish Pettis, Cowboy, Edgar, etc.

I agree, before last night I was favoring Bendo if he were to fight Diaz, but now i'm not so sure. He has a bad knack of getting caught in submissions, and if he does that against Diaz, he'll be in huge trouble. Diaz has the striking advantage as well.

He'll need to try to wrestle**** him that's for sure. And while I like a lot of Bendo's striking game, that double jab thing he does has to go. Diaz will eat that alive.

Agreed, wrestle****ing will be imminent. He's got to be really careful though, because he always gets caught in deep subs but somehow manages to get out of them. Against Diaz, that would likely not work.

If not in technical skill, in punishment threshold and dominating the center of the cage. Nate is gonna come forward at all times, so it's either move in and out, or get picked apart on the feet. Bendo is not in a position to KO Nate on his best day, so that's that.
You know what they say, in order to beat the champ you have to BEAT the champ, and even though Frankie did better this fight he didn't exactly go in there and make much of a statement. I had him edging Edgar though. I like ben, but he has his hands full with Nate. Wouldn't be surprised if Nate comes in as the favorite.
Did anyone else find it STRANGE AS **** that Guillard gt FOTN bonus after MISSING WEIGHT then getting KTFO?
Wtf Dana if your going to cut other fighters for doing the same thing then cut everyone that does it, this favoritism crap is BS.

If he's not able to KO then he should learn how to submit.. nobody likes guys that can't finish.

Guida, until that last debacle, and GSP are pretty popular. Forrest too.
