Good fight, I don't think Rampage took this fight serious, that or he was going in to it with some issue, either way Ryan Bader is the better fighter on the night.

I chose Henderson before the PPV to win this, don't know what I predicted in the forum or if I did at all. But I HOPE I'm wrong, love to see little Frankie Edgar to come back and take this! I don't know why, there is just something about him that wants to make me root for him.

I really wanted to see Frankie take this one, but after that performance there's absolutely no denying Bendo.

I don't understand why Edgar thought he won. I'm sure he'll understand once he watches the fight.

I was taking Benson since I heard about this fight. The guy is outstanding. Frankie should never be discredited of course. That guy can brawl as well as we seen numerous times but Benson has always been championship material with his style of fighting and he just has the size advatage over Frankie. Benson is tough. I am so happy he won it!

That was a very "smooth" performance.

frankie always finds a way Not this time, my friend, not this time. First off, congrats go out to Benson Henderson for winning the UFC Lightweight belt like I said he would. I said he'd walk out with the belt and I was right. Second, I am not sure if I totally agree with the Unanimous part. Frankie fought his ass off, no question about that. He put up one hell of a fight and may have landed more strikes, but he looked like the loser in the end. And we all know you should NEVER leave it in the judges hands or else robbery can take place and I'm sure in many people's minds that took place tonight. I would agree more with a split decision rather than the unanimous, but it is what it is. The judges thought he was the overall unanimous winner and we can't dispute it. Anyway, I'm SO glad Benson walked away new champ. No question he deserves the honor of wearing that belt. Great card. Had a lot of fun watching and I can't wait for the next one.

I said he'd walk out with the belt and I was right. ...so humble... I was kind of surprised it was such a clear-cut/unanimous decision... it could have gone either way I thought. I suppose if you look at the damage done though and the way Henderson almost finished the fight twice (with the up-kick and choke), he probably deserved it. I know everyone's saying it, but I really would like to see Frankie move to FW and fight Aldo sometime... he has a very real chance of becoming one of the few 2-weight world champions, which is pretty special.

It was a close fight and there was always going to be a fighter who was going to be upset with the outcome, I'm happy for Hendo. Full credit to Frankie as he is one tough SOB and has been putting on great, close fights, hopefully we see him drop down to FW to take on Aldo.

Damn, really wanted Frankie to find a way to come back and win, but props to Bendo. Dude clearly won that fight for the record. I scored it 49-46 or 48-47 for Henderson.
Boetsch coming back and finishing Yushin was insane!
Kongo looks hilarious when dropped or rocked. Stoked that Hunt finished him.
Pettis' KO over Lauzon had me scream out lot, causing me to wake my mom up off the couch, lol.
Pettis vs Bendo rematch, if it happens, will be sick!
Edit: Forgot to mention it, but awesome, awesome card. 7 fights on the main card should be a staple from now on.

Rampage shouldd hangem up now..

Looks like DW wants Henderson Vs Pettis 2, and Aldo Vs Edgar. Epic win.
It'll be interesting to see who they put Hunt in against next... Pat Barry possibly? Or maybe someone higher-ranked(?)

I was joking around with my brother last night about how I couldn't believe how Tim Boetsch came out for that 3rd round. It was like he chugged 2 or 3 Red Bull's in between rounds I said. Lol...
He came out like a freakin' fireball and mowed through Okami. We couldn't believe it. Such an incredible comeback after being down two rounds. Boetsch "Nelmarked" Okami against the cage and it was awesome!! I love seeing the classic "fold-job" against the cage!! Lol.
Definitely a tremendous win for Boetsch. I don't even know who you give him now seeing as Okami was the last guy that faced Anderson Silva for the belt. It'll be interesting to find out, that's for sure.
