bocek pretty much did no damage
Welcome to the UFC, Ben.
Excellent job Bendo. Bocek tried to threaten submissions, but Ben made him pay. Henderson avoided every sub attempt with ease, and had much better striking.
Glad Bendo won his debut but he look shy at first , i was hoping a quick finish but as long as he gets a top ranked fighter next im happy!
