    nah, ben henderson is a different type of athlete. guida is explosive and fast while ben henderson is more strong and durable. but both are great lightweights

    This kid subbed Dustin Hazellet with what looked like barely any effort. Bocek is bustin out this year, representing Toronto in a great way, super humble, thinking fighter, very skilled. I'm calling a title shot before the end of 2012.

    Ben has way more technical stand up than Guida. That is a dumb comparison.

    I agree... I like Bocek, he is a better fighter than he gets credit for, but most of what he says here sounds like nonsense.



    Although I do think that if he pulls off the victory over Bendo he would be a fight or two away from the title mix..

    Yea alot of the WEC guys are not getting top opponents, but it is a match up that makes sense. Bocek thinks hes the best BJJ guy in the LW division, and Bendo is very hard to sub.

    @dray12. yeah for sure he keeps reminding us that he is the best bjj guy, but that doesnt mean he is a great fighter. i dont think he will win this fight.

    I tend to agree with you, Bendo is a very strong, athletic and explosive fighter. Just to much of a gap in that area for Bocek to win IMO, although his BJJ is VERY good and a sub is always possible.

    bendos first lose was ah 41 sec sub, i think that bocek has better jj than that guy so ah sub is very highly possible. but bendo has gotten ntohing but better since that loss but however so has bocek.

    I don't think he keeps reminding us, he said it once and everyone is asking him about it now, it's the reporters who keep bringing it up.

    the reporters bring it up. he went on as far as saying how much better he is than penn. he said he looked up to him but then had to add something like, he had won the abu dhabi more recently than any other fighter in the ufc. It was something that he wanted to add stating he was the best in the division. When a guy with a shit record and only wins against average guys then personally i dont want to hear him saying that he is better than penn cos penn has great stand up and aswell. i think start talking about how good you are when you have beaten someone decent.

    and yes he does have very good jj but i think he relies on it too much. Has he ever won a fight without a submission? has he got stand up?

    Surprised to hear him say that Ben Henderson has better cardio than George Sot. I thought Joe Lauzon was supposed to have great cardio and George Sot made him gas a bit.
