Melendez vs. Benson Is Gonna Be A Lot Closer Than People Think..

TalkLost · February 25

Don't get me wrong, I think Bendo will win, but people aren't giving Melendez the credit he deserves. The dude's a great fighter and I think he'll put up a hell of a fight against Benson.

Melendez loses to Bendo, then a top 5er, then finally beats some can

I admire Gilbert's heart and think he's largely unappreciated for what he's accomplished these past few years, but he doesn't match up well against Henderson. A fight against a guy like Pettis would probably be better for Gil, and Pettis definitely can beat Bendo, so if THAT fight ends up happening eventually, then we could see an interesting trio of fighters competing at the top of the division.

No interest in either of these two.

It's not that unlikely that fight could be highly competitve or that an upset can happen given how this year has been going so far.

i think it will be 3 round to 2 for bendo

Bendo will win handily. I think there's a lot of legit Strikeforce talent that belongs in the UFC, but Gilbert is someone whom I've always thought would get thrashed by the UFC LWs. Anyone in UFC's top 5 for LWs would rule Strikeforce.

I think Benson will dominate to be honest from start to finish

I think there will be a brief moment where Gil will hurt Bendo, cause Ben tends to relax once a fight goes his way. But it'll still be a dominant victory for Henderson
