i told you guys that bendo was gonna win better of his superior legs strengh and size !
Im glad he is the champion. He not only can kick everyone's ass in that division, but he can probably also Out-Squat anyone in his division.
For the revenge ,instead of a fight ,Frankie and Ben could meet up at the Squat rack of a gym to see who is the strongest and toughest dude in light weight ! (this last sentence is a joke)
M1 you left out his amazing legs carried him to victory.

Dude do you like big juicy legs shaved or hairy? medium or wel done? tainted or white?
Bendo is supported by illuminati, the hand sign, hope pettis kicks his head again !
I dont know what you are talking about.
No, he signifying that the R.O.C is in the house. Where your diamonds at.
70% of the fighters do that every time and 90% on occasion.
I picked Hendo to win but i wasn't 100% sure, i picked him to win partly because he was the bigger, stronger guy but i also thought he had better technique with his submissions and ground game in general, as well as his scrambles. It was obvious he was the stronger guy and hit harder but i wouldn't have picked him on them merits alone because both Bj and Maynard, particularly Maynard, were stronger and hit harder and Frankie proved that that wasn't enough. Still give props to Frankie though, the kid's a stud man....
Do you think, for a moment, that perhaps the lucky upkick broke Edgar's nose? If so, flinching to a jab would be pretty unavoidable?
