its bensons own fault, he got back up without his hands up covering his chin, clean left hook like that only a granite chin is taking it

ufc will be happy now, hes out of title contention for a while and they didnt want to give him another shot as pettis has his number

 

[Pool_Shark]

Went from champ to being knocked out on fight nights on fox sports 2

 

[semtex]

Impressed with dos anjos

whenever people thank god for their victory, i'm like oh so god has favourites now? he likes some better than others now? foh with religion

 

[Crakface]

I dont know why Ben was a heavy favorite. I just seen Dos Anjos rip through Cerrone.

Fair trade for the Illinois win today tho

Pyle stay

Because hes a former champion whos only lost to the same guy, who ended up being the champ, in the last 7 years.

Pathetic loss. Dos Anjos aingt goin nowhere.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

MMA guys get hit a lot

 

[wake&bake]

can't believe Benson got caught. Pettis somewhere smiling knowing Benson has NO chance for redemption now.

If Cerrone beats Alvarez do give him the rematch against Dos Anjos for #1 Contender or would he have earned the title shot?


Dos Anjos since beating Cerrone by unanimous decision:
Loss to Khabib by unanimous decision
TKO Jason High
KO Benson Henderson

Cerrone since losing to Dos Anjos:
Sub (triangle choke) Evan Dunham
KO Adriano Martins
Sub (rear naked) Edson Barboza
KO Jim Miller
KO/Sub/Dec Eddie Alvarez

Not a bad stoppage. Benson is very durable so maybe he could've fought through but he went to sleep there for a split second.

Anytime, a fighter is cracked so bad that their foot goes up their own ass, it's a justifiable stoppage.

that's all it is. If you drop like a sack of potatoes the fight will be stopped. It's all over if you fall like that. Due to the magnitude of the fight i'd like to see someone like Bendo get the chance to keep going, but again, if you drop like that it gets stopped.

that's the daft way to look at it the way I see it they are thanking God for giving them the opportunity to maximize on their given talents. Worse thing ever is for one to go through life never discovering it


Ps interesting results this weekend can't believe Ben got ko'd/le tko

I agree but there is a difference in being dropped quickly and recovering and being dropped and going completely stiff. If you look at that gif he got dropped but was still conscious to put his hands up and was recovering by the time big john ran over. He could have got pounded out for the TKO or he could have completely recovered like kongo. I think ppl just hate Bendo so much that they are dismissing this. Anyone else and this would be an outrage

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Bendo stoppage was trash. Could have given him at least another 3 seconds to recover.
