That second "headbutt" wasn't poo poo. Cole is just lining up an excuse for when he loses.

Tekken combos with throws are hard as gently caress.

Holloway spamming spin kicks to close the fight was awesome.

Cole whining after the bell is just perfect. It won't do anything for you, buddy.

Bendo is definitely the bigger star, but don't hometown guys normally get the second walkout?

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.

At least having to fight a much bigger guy is preventing Benson from doing his stupid stuff like jabbing the thigh

It's making him fight like Henderson did before the title. High volume and varied strikes.

This fight is awesome.

Thatch is gassed and that takedown has got to give Ben confidence in his shot.

I am so loving stoked right now. I ran around the apartment and made my girlfriend high five me. Ben Henderson is the loving best

I had Ben up on the cards anyways, but drat that was some great underdog poo poo. I'm so glad that the UFC ran this card so drat late that I could get Valentine's Day stuff over with and watch a man with a great mane tackle a man twice his size.

Man 155 must be harsh as poo poo, Bendo just murdered the poo poo out of this welterweight

e: jesus his face looks like he got tenderized or he was in a car accident or some poo poo

155 is such a shark tank that Bendo just called out a top 5 welterweight to hopefully get another win and jump back into the lightweight picture.

Thatch vs Erick Silva in a 7-minute, one round fight where both are given a shot of adrenaline at the Dude Wipes official checkpoint. Make this happen, Dana.

It was brilliant by Bendo. He had Thatch in a straight jacket and to get enough leverage in his back to pull forward it's natural to lift your chin up. The whole sequence was a plan imo.

Bendo was clearly fighting the entire fight with a nice strategy. He worked the body hard in the first two rounds without much threat of a takedown because Thatch was too big to get down while fresh. In the third, Thatch started to tire and Bendo got his back. The hand fighting was preventing a real submission attempt, but I think it was a part of the strategy to just ride the back for a round and really wear on Thatch's cardio. And it all paid dividends in the end when the takedown came so easily and Thatch seemed too tired to put up anything beyond basic grappling defense.
