Main event on tap. Thatch or Henderson? I’ll say Thatch, second-round KO.

You think Thatch respects Ben Henderson? Hasn’t really opened up like I expected him.

This is an incredibly interesting clash of styles (and sizes).

Thatch is going to the 2nd Round for the 2nd time in his career

The longer this goes the more confident I am in my Henderson pick. Experience and 5 round fight pedigree will be the key.

Can never cant out Henderson, most people said Thatch would KO him in the first two rounds. That didn’t happen #UFCBroomfield

Henderson is not out of this fight, but he is out of this division. 170 is just not a good idea for him.

You know what came to mind during that rd? Rudy Tomjanovich saying, “never underestimate the heart of a champion.” Bendo not laying down.

Oh, the GSP-esque timing on that takedown by Henderson at an absolutely crucial juncture of the fight, now he takes the back again. Neato.

Newfound respect for Benson Henderson.
— Marc Raimondi (@marc_raimondi) February 15, 2015
Big win for Henderson, or is it? No doubt it my mind he needs to get back to lightweight as soon as possible.

Benson Henderson, rear-naked choke in round four in one of the most goosebump-inducing Y’ALL DOUBTED ME moments this sport has seen in a sec

Unbelievable. Henderson wins via 4th round RNC. One of the most inspiring wins in recent memory.
