Date: June 7th, 2014 Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico Venue: Tingley Coliseum Broadcast: FOX Sports 1, UFC Fight Pass  MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 10 p.m. ET) Benson Henderson vs. Rustam Khabilov Ross Pearson vs. Diego Sanchez John Dodson vs. John Moraga Rafael dos Anjos vs. Jason High Yves Edwards vs. Piotr Hallmann Bryan Caraway vs. Erik Perez PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET) Yaotzin Meza vs. Sergio Pettis Lance Benoist vs. Bobby Voelker Scott Jorgensen vs. Danny Martinez Jake Lindsey vs. Jon Tuck PRE-PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 7:30 p.m. ET) Patrick Cummins vs. Roger Narvaez Important Things: The UFC has decided to grace New Mexico with it's presence with a pretty kickin' card. So I guess that means it will be bad. Bad as last weekends doubleheader? No, absolutely not. Benson Henderson is a fighter who people love to hate. He's one of the best lightweights around these days, but has a knack for making the judges think he wins. It's a long standing tradition that he picked up once he faced the Answer. Blame Fe. Rustam has been given a big step up in competition. And while he has looked rather dominant, his cardio is still left a lot to be desired. Unless he can somehow throw Bendo into the nearest Los Pollos Hermanos, he's kind of boned. Much like Benson, Diego Sanchez probably hasn't won a fight since the recent Bush administration. But hey, wining punches and plodding forward is what's up, so perhaps he is the best eva? Ross has looked like hot garbage too lately, but he should get it done against the Nightmare. YES. YES. YES. (gently caress that pro wrestling dude that totally ripped off our favorite resident idiot) I feel like John Dodson is the second best flyweight in the division, which doesn't sound like a controversial statement to make. This Little Man has knockout power, and killed recent P4P king TJ Dillashaw at a higher weightclass. This dude owns, and you should be excited to watch him flip around the cage. RDA and Jason high are going to put on the Fight of the Night and it's going to be ridiculous. Special Shout Outs to Thugjitsu Master Yves, and an extra special gently caress You to Bryan Caraway. Sergio Pettis! Yaotzin Meza! Bobby Voelker! Scott Jorgensen! MMA Snack Rating ™ White Pizza Pull Apart Bread. (aka, an embarrassingly easy summer snack.)  quote:ingredients Other Important Things: One Lone Barista on Fight Pass, and the rest on FOX Sports 1. Oh yes. Come hang out in #mma on synirc.org to whine about Benson's upcoming split decision win. -Atom- fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jun 7, 2014 |

3/4 of Henderson's last fights have headlined "On Fox" cards so I guess when you see him headlining a free card it's just kinda the expectation.

I still don't have a clue how the judges gave him that decision. The fact he got that gift in Japan is even more baffling.

Did they use japanese judges who maybe went all pride accidentally? or do they fly judges over to gently caress things up? Also I want bendo to win a split decision because the infinite tears on this board about him beating people never gets old.

Fun fact about Yves I just figured out (which means I might be wrong, lemme know if anybody thinks of any exceptions/additions) - Only two fighters currently fighting in the UFC have been fighting mma longer than Yves. Vitor Belfort - October 1996 Dan Henderson - June 1997 Yves Edwards - October 1997 Vitor has had 34 fights, Hendo has had 42, Yves has had 64. I believe the only realistic way Yves could be displaced as King of Old School in the UFC would be if they hired Dennis Hallman (May 1996, 70 fights) again.

He hasn't been in many long drawn out slugfests but that many fights and training for that long still take their toll. That said I was worried about Yves declining after the Stout knockout but it didn't happen so what the hell do I know?

That said I was worried about Yves declining after the Stout knockout but it didn't happen so what the hell do I know? I'm sure he's declined athletically given that he's in his late 30's, but he's always been a guy whose biggest strength was technique and experience, and that tends towards longevity. I doubt he's ever getting back into title contention given how stacked his division is, but he's probably going to do well enough to stay in the UFC as long as he cares to continue fighting unless he has some dramatic dropoff.
