Lol I love how you guys are treating Ben like a big deal. I go to the exact same gym and am good friends with him. I`ve watched my dad train with him (and get crushed :3) at the LAB in Glendale AZ.
Thanks bro!! :)
this fight is going under the radar. It is actually a huge milestone for UFC and Japan
The might be my favorite UFC card ever. Frankie and Ben are my 2 favorite fighters and I met and talked to Ryan Bader and Rampage Jackson before so it makes watching them more interesting.
Dis is gonna be awesome!
Edgar and Henderson are gonna light things up this weekend. Cant wait
The Smooth one has this! Grapple, Takedown and Ground Strikes!
Bendo is a beast!! This is going to be such a great fight!!
Lots of pre-McGregor and post-Lesnar era events forgotten. This was huge at the time, given it was one of the first lightweight main events.
Should be a great show!!
Benson/Frankie should be a treat for the fans. I can't see this fight being anything other than a war.
great response......
Will be amazing card
This could be the best UFC event ever :D
@oopopp Or the shogun vs Henderson but thank god I saw UFC 139 live it was epic
I'm both a Bendo and Edgar fan I just hope it's a awesome fight.
the fight was crazy
i like how Bader and Jackson both have highlight KO's of Jardine ;) Like gee, who doesnt have that.
I LOVE UFC
@FrontKickReview stacked card!
Congrats to Bendo! Dominating Performance!
Looks like a good Event in Japan hopefully a Classic
Henderson and Frankie are both incredible and complete fighters. I'm not gonna make predictions here, the better man with the best heart, focus and strategy will win
Nothing Joe can say will make me look forward to Rampage and Bader
Great lightweight competition right now
@V3N0MousProductions true he needs to mix it up more
LOL at Rampage knocking down the punching bag...classic
Edgar and jackson FTW
@Hodge600 Frankie Edgar is one of my fav fighters.
OMG WHEN RAMPAGE VS JONES HIS WORK OUT WAS PLAYIN VIDEO GAMES AND MASSAGE I THINK NOW HE BETTER COME BACK ON TOP
Pettis vs. Lauzon is what I'm looking for. Lauzon's the best. He doesn't fight to win, he fights to win immediately. He won't become a champ like that, but he is sure to entertain.
@alphared10 it really such to see one of my favs carrying on like this,right now it,s not really about him loosing the match it,s the way he is performing.
Big Frankie fan! The dude is a real life Rocky. Don't know if he'll get pass Bendo though. The size different is huge. I'm hoping for the best and like both fighters.
these guys are all monsters! except rampage, he just acts like a monster.
@OscarMaris meaning what exactly?
Bader deserves this win and frankie vs ben is gonna be amazing i wont be dissapointed which one wins
cant fucking wait!!
@V3N0MousProductions bro he has still always been the best of the best in LHW
Just teach Bader how to move in the ring... Guy looks like Frankenstein's monster in there with his footwork.
franky got his hands full in this one
There were at lot of upsets in this card...I like it! Lol
This card looks beast... Lets go frankie !
edgar all day..that man is too good 2 much heart
Edgar is the most underrated fighter in the ufc. If he wins which he will people are gonna be more aware that he's here to stay. ( most of yall are to talking about the Rampage vs bader fight.)
welcome viewer 301 I have been waiting
henderson deserve that win.. edgar's been a champion for a long time.. i like to see the rematch though.. Anthony Pettis vs Ben Henderson
Damn the main card is awesome. Edgar-Henderson, Rampage-Bader, Akiyama-Shields, Pettis- Lauzon + Okami.
@ElixOku Yushin Okami, Akiyama and Hatsu Hioki are on the main card.
@100isthebest Bader has never called anyone out. The UFC offer him a fight and he takes it, just like most.
@ElixOku Okami is on the card
THE NEW !
I like Bader, but i'd love to see the old Rampage, some serious punches, like the one that K.Oed Wanderlei!
wec took over the ufc just wooooow
Frankie edgar the train that never stops
@7:05 running up A mountain here in Tempe :-D
Ryan Bader went to the high school i am at right now. i never knew that
@BigShawnBig it is Ben henderson
@Robespierr uhmmm i dont think so
I'm a girl. I do kickboxing for 1 year and 1 month now. Kickboxing is my life. I'll give everything to be like them. i wanna make it THAT far too! NEVER GIVE UP ON SOMETHING !!!! that's the worst thing you could do
I Love M.M.A.
@MisterFallout I think you can sign in with your email too
Edgar may have landed more punches but Henderson landed punches and hard kicks...even the kicks Edgar caught had landed, which is one thing im sure the judges took into consideration as well as the submission attempt, upward kick that knocked Edgar on his ass, and the very last round where Henderson threw a knee that put Edgar on his ass again and the last few seconds of the round where Henderson was ground and pounding on Edgar.
this ppv was alright, it definitely made me feel better after UFC 143... also i can see how Henderson totally won the fight, sure Franky Edgar was committing take downs and throwing punches but overall his attacks didn't really make any big damage on Henderson and so he countered a lot and took the fight...
@MisterFallout He probably signs in the new way with an email address
i hope rampage wins in devastating fashion a big slam then ground and pound !!!
@deathmetalarmageddon lol yeah ur right! Jersey Shore is the nickname some fans had given him over the last few years
The NEEEEWWWW LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!
respect for edgar
Edgar vs Henderson: speed/accuracy vs speed/power, heart vs size, and footwork vs athleticism.
@SnapCity3 "hendo" is the nickname of dan henderson, given to him by japanese fans who cannot pronounce "r" and short "o" sounds. recently some have started calling benson henderson, "bendo". and in case you're not aware of the fact, benson henderson didn't develop his career in japan, so his name was never shortened as such.
im rooting for frankie ..he got balls being the smallest guy and beating bigger guys..i will be impressed if henderson goes after gsp!!!
Intriguing night of fights. Will Henderson become the new lightweight champ, of will Frankie Edgar defy expectations once again? Will Ryan Bader re-emerge as a genuine contender or will Rampage retain his position amongst the elite? The question everyone wants answered though is: will Akiyama be even sexier as a welterweight? (Although we all know the answer will be Yes.)
R.I,P Ben Henderson you will be missed
@conner1ize Do you? Frankie Edgar, Fe, hard as iron.
@rikkigpmn yes indeed
I'm praying Rampage comes prepared to this fight. Rampage is my favorite fighter, but he hasn't really impressed me lately. I hope he will mix it up, because I have a feeling it will be a hard fight:S
@deathmetalarmageddon no he's not a guido thats his nickname cause he's from jersey
@V3N0MousProductions No no, you're thinking on BJ. Rampage actually has some great work ethic. But he's just hooked on those video games.
@Hodge600 i blame jersey shore
Good main event still gonna go for henderson.
bendo is the coolest dude on earth
@Oreillyisthebest Mir vs Nog 2 ?
@jaxsnipe1 Yes.
looks like Rampage taking this shit serious though. You can be lazy and still be motivated.
@Yaxez who's 2pac's uncle?
The Japanese will love him with those fucking wings on his back.
@khazal12 I agree with you there. The matchmaking isn't making much sense to me. Rampage/Hamill, Rampage/Bader, WTF? Bader needs to be fighting a guy LIKE Davis, imo.
@ninjamojo711 Shields was in Strikeforce not WEC, and he's not doing that bad he's gone up against contender compation. Ellenberg and Kampmann are some of the best in the world at 170.
frankie, rampage and sexyama for the win!
@Kdodzz Boxing is a sport though. UFC is a promotion.
@djames1459 TRue, but who else can he fight he just fought Jones and hendo is busy and already fought Rashad
rampage is back in his home and will come and knocks the lights out with bader. but most importanly. i hope he does his SLAMS
what happened to anthony pettis?
@khazal12 He didn't know what to do against Jones and had a kind of controversial win against Machida. I believe he can still be a force at LHW, but he has to do more then swaying punches.
Rampage is boring nowadays he was the man in pride but these days hes a step behind the new aged fighters
@jackTKbrightside i didn't know they could stack shit that high
Benson is easily the toughest fight for frankie. even more than BJ was. He's just a pure athlete. if frankie wins decisively than there will be no doubt he's the best.
@ninjamojo711 Yeah... but Shields is from Strikeforce. I wouldn't say he's doing bad... just yet... i mean he fought the champ and I think it was really the loss of his father that he did not mentally check-in for the Ellenberger fight. :)
Not only did Bendo outstrike him, he landed takedowns, stuffed Frankie's and didn't allow him to do anything with them.. plus he beat his face into hamburger hill the whole fight.
@V3N0MousProductions Could have? he's definitely one of the best LHW fighters ever, but I get what you're saying he's like Bj Penn in that regard.
