Ben Henderson: No one said Frankie Edgar should drop down to 145lbs when he was the champ

Ummmm yes they did

True but the point is you didn't see everyone and his mother agreeing withit and encouraging it online. And you didn't see White saying it over and over in interviews.

Dana has expressed this for awhile.

Define "awhile". I don't think he did until he lost his belt, but if you can find a link I stand corrected.

I remember him saying it when he was champ.



My source being my memory. So you have to accept it as fact. If you want to prove me wrong feel free to Google it but as it stands I am corrrect :D

ya I remember him saying he thinks he should fight at 145 in post fight press conferences after his last couple fights, wins included.

I'll take you at your word. I must have missed it.

Benson is such a nice guy. I hope he will stay champ for a long time

Nice? And humble too, right? He's only gonna defend his belt as many times as Anderson..... wait for it.... plus one more!!

Yes we did. Yes I am speaking for the overall majority of the MMA community, as I have seen this debate on every website that i view.

It's been talked about everywhere since Frankie lost to Gray in their first fight. That was over 4 years ago. He's severly undersized for the weight class. It only makes sense that it's talked about a little bit more when one of the main reasons he lost the title was how much size he gave up to Ben.

Since he lost the belt, right? Show me links that said he "should" move down while he was defending his belt- I think you guys are wrong cause it certainly was not the talk of the 'net world or White while he was kicking ass at 155 for all those fights. He was praised by all on high until he lost to Ben.

He defended the belt twice with wins. One was in a rematch against Penn which plenty of people thought he lost in the first fight. The second was in a fight he KO'd Maynard. His other title fight was a match plenty thought he lost to Gray.



However, here is one example from Mr. White himself:

There's more than this too.

No Meredictum, you lazy ****, you do the research yourself you lacky

In case you don't believe the text in evans link

Around the 2:05 mark if you want to skip ahead.

Even Dana did just after he defended his belt

I don't likes dis guy..... Frankie can take the belt back, I believe he will. Then Benson can get humiliated by Pettis once again.

that fight was one of the best of all times, hardly a humiliation to lose by that close of a margin.... and who the hell was going to expect someone to flying ninja kick you off the side of a cage?!?!?!?

It is humiliating because although it was a close decision, that Showtime kick moment will be on MMA highlight reels for all eternity, and last time I checked he was on the receiving end. Add that to the fact that Benson is a ****y momma's boy who could be two weight classes above Frankie, and well, you get the idea...

Sounds like Benson had a threesome with your mom and sister, then tied you up and made you watch it.

Hahaha, that's why you end up getting all ****ed up, homie... Good luck to ya though!

whats with all the "poor" being clicked on this...another example of people clicking on the article title, not actually watching the interview. Ben said nothing negative about frankie.

Sometimes when I click cool it registers it as poor. Glitch in the matrix i suppose

it was mostly positive but he defo said what the title says!

which is wrong, cos every one has been saying it for ages!!!

Good thing he has that fighting thing happening, cus basketball aint it.

Decent hoop skills for a wrestler.
