Who do you think would win? GSP or Benson Henderson. Let us know who and why in a 5 round fight.

If people bitch about the size difference between a 170 and a 185'er, what do you say about a 155 vs 170?
Yeah, it's the same 15 pounds but relatively a bigger gap.

Frankie Edgar completely outwrestled Bendo despite a substantial size disadvantage what do you think a bigger stronger GSP would do?

OP - if you've joined our community to share your videos and discuss them with us - great!

If you've joined us for views, and nothing else (Which is what it looks like after only two posts) you won't last long :/

As for the fight, it really does not interest me. Too many similarities, which often means the bigger fighters wins

This is his way of saying politely you are borderline trolling here.

It is pretty clear from their skillsets and size Bendo has no way to win this fight. At least GSP might be able to outwrestle a bigger Anderson Silva, but what could Bendo do against GSP with a reach and weight disadvantage? Obviously not outwrestling him, and GSP is very effective at striking from distance. No one is talking about it, because we already know how it would go.

I think its too soon to tell. Bendo is still growing as a fighter while gsp is really just polishing his techniques. I think in 2-4 years, this fight would be very interesting but atm, gsp easily.

If this fight came to fruition it wouldn't be called a superfight.
For a fight to be a superfight, both fighters involved would have to be dominant champions & P4P kings for a long time, wich it's not the case for Hendo.

Besides Bendo wouldn't stand a chance.

Well Bendo walks around at 180 so it would be better for GSP to fight Bendo instead of Anderson.

The only threat that Bendo could be to GSP is with his heavy leg kicks but thats all.
Bendo is a good wrestler but he had some trouble with Franky's wrestling( small lightweight) so he will not be able to outwrestle GSP.

Sorry for my bad English guys.





They both have big legs :D

Is Bendo the most under rated champ currently on the roster? He's beat Frankie Edgar twice, rag dolled Diaz all over the octagon like a dogs chew toy....

GSP is a bad stylistic match up for Bendo, no doubt, but I'd still give him a better chance than most of the other contenders at 170.

To me that isn't a superfight at all. Bendo is 1-2 in UFC title fights in a lot of people's minds. Bendo is explosive, that said he is not a finisher and will be the smaller man. And it isn't like he Bendo would out-wrestle GSP.

GSP would easily win that fight because Henderson has pretty much no advantage anywhere.

Pauly G. Like your out of box thinking. They're box similar except one has a Taekwondo background and the other has Kyukushin Karate background. One small difference; size. Size and strength = game over for Bendo.

The only competitive cross division super fights are the one mentioned and I'll throw in the LHW title holder vs the HW title holder.

Ben is being stupidly under rated here. "GSP would toy with him". Nah. People are forgetting that Bendo is also one of the biggest LW's on the roster, the dude is huge and has legs like tree trunks. People are also undermining just how good a fighter Frankie Edgar really is.

Bendo is one of the best scramblers in the game and is virtually impossible to hold down. GSP's top control is excellent, but I think Bensons scrambling ability would aid him back up to his feet, and on the feet, the fight is a lot closer than people would think. I'd give a slight edge maybe to GSP in the striking department, but it's close.

We just have a different opinion on the matter then. Bendo is good in a lot of areas but I don't think he is better than GSP anywhere.
I don't either. But I didn't think he was better than Frankie Edgar in any given area, and most people on here thought that Nate Diaz was going to rip him a part with his boxing and BJJ.

All I'm trying to say is that he's pretty damn under rated and would probably give GSP a better fight than most of the current 170 contenders.

I definitely think he is underrated and I am guilty of underrating him as well. He is an elite 155er.
