You gotta like Nate's mindset when it comes to fighting. He's just here to fight.

100% agree with ya. Nate is just that a fighter and bendo better be ready cause nate is gonna bring it and he is going to bring it hard. I think nate will sub him in the 2nd and that reach advantage he will have is going to make his boxing that much more dangerous to henderson.

i cant express how excited i am for this fight. its gonna be rediculous

I'm really excited too...Nate will definitely bring it and I say he's our next lightweight champion. The Diaz brothers don't fight to win decisions, they fight to finish fights, I like Edgar...but Nate isn't gonna "Frankie Edgar" this fight and hope to outpoint and win. He'll stop him.

My only fear in this fight is that after Bendo gets outboxed for a round or two and realizes that he can't deal with Nate's reach, he's gonna resort to holding Nate down and waiting for the bell.
I'm not saying that as a knock on Bendo. That's what he's supposed to do in a fight; adjust the gameplan accordingly.
But I am just afraid that this fight that has so much potential to be exciting might end up being extremely boring.

I don't think he'll be able to hold Nate down without being submitted

I hope you're right, but it's been done before in insanely boring fashion (Stevenson, Guida).

No one should be able to win/keep a title via the humpinz...

Then GSP should be stripped of the belt, ASAP.

Yeah, I don't like alot of his W's. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan... at this point, and he is great at what he does; but ever since Serra knocked him TFO he has been far too safe in all aspects.

Yeah, it's not always the humpinz, but it's always some form of safest, lowest risk, cruise-to-a-decision-type of victory.
Eh, it's all the same to me.
