UFC on Fox 5 Henderson vs Diaz Discussion *Spoilers*

After the fight Joe Rogan asked him like 3 times about him having a toothpick in his mouth during the fight. Benson was laughing and denying it at the same time.
Thought it was odd, but didn't think much about it.

No that pic is shopped, but he did in fact fight with one in his mouth... and as soon as the 5th round was over that thing popped out the side of his mouth like it had been there the whole time. Apparently he is known to train with it and I have read that it's an old boxing trick to keep you focused... to me it sounds like an old boxing trick to make you choke and die...

wait, is this a real picture? that would negate the whole outcome.

Meh .... looks like a porcupine quill.... and there is no rule against that in the "unified rules of MMA"!
