when i saw the title i thought to myself. maybe edgar did do some damage. but no henderson broke his hand and foot punching and kicking edgar
Me too. I was like hell yeah.. Then I read it and said ..SHIT !!!!!’lol
suck my dick fagg
You like the name sweet game plan huh bitch? you tried every name with mother added to it and now you found the one.. Your welcome you fat ****..
Looks like Bendo was the one who took the most damage..
punching and kicking Edgar in the head would do damage to your extremities…the suspension hinges on the xrays coming back positive, which right now is inconclusive
dumbass.
Looks like someone only reads the headlines..
lol
clueless
oh looks like an edgar ballsucker who doesnt know how to read the details of the suspension. good luck in life, retard.
Its not 100%, its just for safety. It doesnt say Bendo got fractures, the x-ray will tell
Haha my first thought: Hmm, maybe Frankie did magically cause some damage some how…turns out Ben hurt his hands/foot in the process of beating Frankie up.
Yeah it looks like to me Ben talked a little bit too much after the fight and they put him on suspension until he’s able to prove that he’s alright.
this doesn’t even make sense.
Maybe you need to get an x-ray for your head…just to see if you don’t have brain damage..dumbass!
X rays could not see brain damage if there was any dumbass
Yes it can
I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure they do a CT scan for that and not an X-ray…
DLo must be lo on brain cells…the name should be BrainLo
Maybe now Bendo can wait for the Miller/Diaz winner
I kinda hope he’s out for 6 months so we can get a clear #1 contender at LW and then Fe has no reason not to drop down to 145… Just my opinion
Pettis
No1 else is even close to deserving a shot especially cuz of the victory over Ben. Gonna be a greatrematch. Aside from Miller/diaz.
Frankie vs loser of diaz/Miller
UFC fans think u need to be on a 9 fight win streak 4 title shot.
155 is so cluttered from frankie having injuries & immediate rematches. LOTS of good guys needing a shot right now.
how does pettis deserve the tittle shot all he did was knock out joe he hasnt done anything special he is overrated if u ask me
He beat bendo thats how lol
I don’t think that Pettis deserves a shot right now. He’s on a 2 fight win streak after losing to the gatekeeper. He’s good yes, and beat Bendo yes, but he hasn’t won against enough tough competition. Miller and Cerrone are looking good, but both lost one after about a 9 fight win streak. Diaz looks awesome, but he’s only on a 2 fight streak. I think rematch Edgar while we wait to see who deserves the shot.
WTF. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with Bendo’s hands/foot while he was practicing with those kids in Korea.
Awaiting xrays on Henderson’s left foot is no surprise. If you look at the the 5th round Joe Rogan defined “knockdown,” Benson actually twisted his left foot, which caused him to drop to the canvas, NOT Edgar’s “pitter-patter” punch.
More of the Rogan effect: after the upkick, Joe Rogan said that that was the defining moment of the fight. It was not. Benson hit Edgar with so many jabs straight to his face that Edgar was affected by MORE than just the upkick. But, you now hear from many Edgar fans saying that if it wasn’t for the upkick, Edgar would’ve won. Negative.
Lastly, count how many times Rogan refers to Edgar during this fight as “the champion.” Unusually high number of times compared to any other championship fight. Subliminal attack by Rogan on viewers??? lol.
I had the sound off for this fight. I think Benson won every round and totally dominated Edgar. Sometimes Rogan is wrong, he even said he is commenting on the fight and can’t possibly concentrate on watching while he’s talking and thinking(paraphrasing).
Some interesting points and thoughts, but the fact remains that if not for the upkick, Edgar is up 2 – 0 on the scorecards. That is a great set – up for a likely win. Of course, Henderson hit him with an accumulation of shots, some really good ones. But that doesn’t change the fact that the upkick was the momentum changer in the fight – both physically to Edgar as well as on the scorecards.
Lol. Well Ben hit him so hard he hurt himself.
lol if ben fractured his hand just from jabbing frankie i wonder what happend to maynards
Are u guys ****ing kidding me Edgar won that fight your all just haters Henderson intentionally poked Frankie in eye clear as day and upkick was only only reason Edgar took any damage
u’r clueless too. guess that makes me a Frankie-hater.
@the natural. No way in hell Edgar won that match. I guess we have totally different ideas on how a “FIGHT’ should be judged. NOT even close. You need to watch that fight again. and again. and again, until you get it right.
Are you ****ing stupid, more like natural dumbass. Frankie lost, even Dana said he rewatched the fight and said Ben won. Natural yeah your naturally a ****ing dumbass.
3 Judges and I disagree with you Sir.
