Bendo via dominating Gil for 5 rounds. I think Gil will more or less hang in there - but it'll be a 50-45 UD.

After Bendo beat Diaz so soundly it's difficult to imagine him losing.

That said, Bendo did have some trouble with Edgar, whose style isn't totally dissimilar to that of Meldendez. Melendez obviously throws more strikes and really pushes the pace, but I think that he can learn from the two Edgar fights and work out a way to frustrate Bendo on the feet.

I'm pumped for this fight. I think it'll be a bit more competitive, more than people think anyway. Bendo is certainly favoured to get the W.

Stylistically, this fight should be fireworks. Really looking forward to it. I think both guys are very similar with Bendo the more natural athlete and better gas tank. Should be a blast and likely a damn good decision with Benson getting the W.

I like the positivity you have for this fight - but I'm betting a lot of people will be bored with it. This is going to be Gil trying all fight long to get something to work and he'll get schooled in the process. Bendo will have a "dominant" 5 rounds to none win and it won't be pretty because Gil is good enough to make each round somewhat close and good enough to keep himself from being in any real danger the entire time.

Just my take.

I think Ben wins and exposes Gil as not a top 5 155er.

You think Benson Henderson will be in a boring fight?? Refresh my memory the last time that happened.

I think Ben wins and people will overreact and say Gil is not a top 5 155er.
