UFC on FOX 7: Henderson vs. Melendez (April 20th)

[NZB2323]

Just a couple of things I want to say:

1) I don't think that it's right to call Cammo a WEC hater and a Pettis hater when his avatar is Pettis fence kicking Pettis in the WEC. I also think that it's hard to rank Chandler above Bendo, conidering who Chandler has fought, but I do believe that Maynard has the tools to take the belt away from Bendo.

2) Cormier's fight vs Mir was like Machida's fight against Henderson. Neither fight was exciting, neither fight came close to a finish, and neither fight had much damage, but both fights had 1 guy doing 90% of the damage.

3) Diaz/Miller/Bocek/Guida/Edgar/Melendez are all extremely difficult to finish. Henderson put some GnP on Diaz, but he recovered. And Guida/Edgar/Melendez deserve some blame also for fighting conservatively against Bendo for the majority of the fight. At least we know that Maynard will take the fight to Bendo.

Re-read my post. It says neither guy had any route to a finish, not just Bendo. And I agree Maynard will take it to Bendo and also has at least some power in his punches.

How is it that they handed out two KO of the night bonuses and Myles Jury didn't get one?

I guess a punch isn't as spectacular as a flying knee or a headkick, but it was the KO of the night for me easily.

Pettis has been the only real dynamic fighter at the top of 155 recently. The rest aren't all that different from Henderson. As awesome as Pettis/Aldo promises to be, I was excited to see if Pettis could beat Henderson again and hold the belt for a while.

I love Pettis too, that kick he did off-the-wall to drop Henderson was one of my Top 5 favorites of all time, (anyone who has not seen it, go find it on YouTube).

I would love to see a Pettis - Henderson rematch in the UFC...

But make it a free fight Dana... (LOL)
