DEFINITIVE LIST: Guys who would (or will) beat Ben Henderson

[Beanflicker]

This list is pretty definitive, you can disagree with it if you wanna but you'll just end up looking like you have some kind of low-functioning autism. I submit that Bendo is the weakest champ that UFC has had since Dave Menne.

GUYS WHO WOULD CERTAINLY BEAT HIM

1. Frankie Edgar (robbed)
2. Gilbert Melendez
3. Showtime Pettis
4. Gray Maynard
5. Nate Diaz
6. Michael Chandler
7. Eddie Alvarez

GUYS WHO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF BEATING HIM

1. "Cautious Clay" Guida
2. Jim Miller
3. Donald Cerrone

Hahaha and this guy says "I'm gonna defend the title more than Anderson Silva." LOL. I never seen Anderson Silva have to win by BS decision... but that seems to be Bendo's speciality!

i dont know about showtime and Clay couldnt but damn the rest could on any given night beat the champ IMO

[Beanflicker]

I'd bet big money on any of the guys in the first list (and will be betting big $$ on Nate... easy cash money)

Ya Nate has a good chance for sure. He will be giving up a good deal in strength though so we will see how he handles the grappling.

I had my worries put to reat when he fought Jim Miller.

Miller couldnt do squat against Nate, this was a big surprise to me.

Nate proved me wrong and now Im a believer that he can hang with anybody.

True, but Nate also just recently dropped from WW to LW, Nate can use his reach, and has great BJJ.
Real contrast of styles.

Could go either way, but I,ve counted Nate out of fights so many times but since dropping back down to LW he has been a beast.

I only thought he would of beat Gomi, but these three he beat not by a close decision but by brutal fashion...... impressive.

Miller
Cerrone
Gomi

Nate will beat Bendo and than go on to have one of the greatest fights in MMA history against Pettis.

I'm not really a Bendo fan, but you just come off as a hater. Do you think Frankie got robbed in the first fight too?

[Neo_Pop]

The Nate Diaz bandwagon is getting kinda crowded...

[cam]

lol true

I thought Frankie won but I wouldn't call it a robbery, but he was well on his way to dominating before the lucky upkick IMO

Suspended indefinitely... what a "winner"... lol

[The Wolf]

Lolz... this guy called you a hater, bean. what a noob.

[Beanflicker]

The nerve of these young guys, he must not know who I is

[cam]

yet he can see you for what you are already

impressive

[Beanflicker]

Never been a hater

[Beanflicker]

You can get labelled as a hater for telling the truth and being ahead of your time. People said I was a hater when I was saying that Fedor was overrated and wouldn't last against the best HWs anymore... now its just common knowledge.

We'll see whos a hater when Diaz beats Bendo easily

[Crunchie]

Im neither a bendo/frankie hater or bandwagon jumper.

I actually appreciate how they both fight, but this last fight it just wasnt as good as what I have seen them both do in the past.

Bendo usually fights at a good pace and started the last fight in the same fashion landing some sweet leg kicks, once he got knocked down and put on his ass he definitely slowed down and became too cautious. It almost cost him the fight(it did IMO and on my scorecard)

Frankie - I like his approach to most fights and find it entertaining in a technical sense. But like Odd has stated in seems like a sparring match instead of a fight.
That being said, he almost KO'd Bendo and in another fight(maynard)Knocked his ass out in the 4th something that is rarely seen in MMA.
The problem with Edgar is he doesnt end a lot of fights, nor does it seem he wants to dominate, so his careful approach can lead to his undoing and when left to the judges shit can happen, especially in a close fight.

Both these guys have 5 bonus awards so all this flack of them being boring is somewhat unwarranted, but I do agree this fight just wasnt at the level that we know these guys can provide.

As for Diaz, not jumping on the bandwagon, just calling it as I see it.

He is improving with each fight and has been virtually unstoppable.

Good TD def - which was a weakness in the past.
great BJJ - Not surprising
Stand-up - crisper than ever

I think due to his chin,aggression and skills he takes out the champ.
