People called me stupid for saying I thought Bendo deserved to be the favorite. That went just like the Khabilov fight, right down the the 4th round RNC finish. I love Bendo's boxing and I'm glad he's back to punching people and away from push kicking thighs. Too bad he doesn't seem to have much power. If he did he'd be unstoppable and those close decisions when he was champion would have looked a lot different.

Anyone think that part of Henderson's performance was that he didn't need to cut weight? I think if anything, this makes me think Benson should be cutting less and being a bit smaller to make 155. I think he's always made a pretty decent cut to get to 155.

Henderson setting a fast pace and grinding his opponents down is something he's always done. I don't recall him ever slowing or tiring at 155. The reason he had some close boring fights against top guys at 155 is that he was fighting guys with similar skillsets who he couldn't wear down with volume of striking or takedowns.
