Yeah I like Benson, but more than a few of his fights lately have been pretty dry. Sometimes though he busts out insane poo poo that makes me remember why I like him.

I DVR'd the last two fights to get to sleep at a decent hour and watch Thatch kill Bendo in the morning. Good to know I can just delete them now and do something productive.

JuanGoat posted:I think he'd be better off sticking to his grappling heavy style where he would put people on the cage and then beat the poo poo out of them, like what he did to Guida and Bocek. In his most recent fights, (Dos Anjos and Pettis) he seemed pretty content to strike with them, and unfortunately he isn't very good at sticking to one style. He does much better when he's mixing things up, which I think is where he gets his nickname ie "smooth" (because he can transition from one style of fighting to another with ease) Yeah I always saw Bendo as a guy who would excel scrambling with his opponents and mixing up striking with a lot of wrestling. He's a decent striker but I think he shines when he gets to wrestle people

That was impressive stuff from Bendo. Thatch looked a lot more muscular than in his previous fights, maybe that cost him a bit of speed

He even said so after the fight. That's why his corner was imploring him to focus more on speed than power after round one. I think it's just a case of Benson is just too fast for him period. Thatch has a bright future, but Benson is really good.

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.

Someday the referees are going to be shining a flashlight into every fighter's mouth before they enter the cage. We'll probably call it the Bendo rule.

Benson Henderson lives in Phoenix so I'm guessing it came from Fry's food and drug store. It's not a bad chain but the stores vary from location to location. Or it may have came from Albertsons but they're sometimes a little more pricey. If you mean where did it come from during the fight, his coach has spoken about it before. This was from an interview after the Nate Diaz fight when I believe it was noticed for the 1st (2nd?) time. John Crouch posted:Something kinda crazy that came out of the event last night were all these questions about whether Ben fights with a toothpick in his mouth. You train with him and see him all the time. Is that just a comfort thing? Does he really do that? Or are you not at liberty to discuss it? I also vaguely remember someone saying that Benson keeps the pick in his mouth for so long it's mostly soggy and not of any real danger to anybody, but it is still a very stupid thing to do in a fight for both competitors. And also against the rules. I'm totally in favor of Benson doing it though. If he's not going to take PEDs and do cocaine like the other bad boys he can at least bring a toothpick into the cage every match.

And also against the rules. At one point in the fight, he takes a jab on the mouth and then checks his lip/cheek a couple times while backing away. I was pretty sure then that it was the toothpick, and wasn't surprised when it came out at the end of the fight.

I really thought Thatch had some opportunities to open up with some Muay Thai, Ben Saunders style, in the third and fourth and catch some big knees on Bendo. Maybe even clinch him up. His build would totally allow it. I just don't know how much he was avoiding the takedown at all costs. I like Thatch and want to see where he goes from here.
