even though it's hell of short notice, bendo really needs to win this to not lose a ton of ground in the division.

nowadays they go by rankings but in this case it's probably because Bendo is a former champion

he has "benson henderson at lightweight" ground. my point is that the factors that would make one think this is a "free fight' for benson do not actually indicate such

Size aside, this is an unfathomable leap in competition for Thatch, and he has been on the shelf for like 15 months.

Benson is a huge lightweight and Thatch makes him look like a drat child.

Competitive first though. Love those hooks that Bendo is ripping to the body.

Thatch is in trouble, right? He's never been out of the first round and Bendo has decisioned Edgar and poo poo like that, the longer the first goes the worse for him.

Bendo did a lot better than I thought he would, he definitely had speed on Thatch and was able to leap in and do good work to the body.

Every time Thatch rushes in though he lands some good looking body kicks. I feel like it's a matter of time before Benson eats something big when Thatch rushes in.

Considering Thatch has been out for 15 months and hasn't been bast the first round in years, Bendo's investment in body shots early could really have him wheezing if the fight goes into 4 or 5

At the current rate I think Bendo will run away with this as Thatch gasses, but I also think Thatch is one good knee or something from killing him
