I really don't listen to the Rogan / Goldberg team-up, what did he say?

I really don't listen to the Rogan / Goldberg team-up, what did he say?

Whenever they've showed the robot tonight he's always made some remark about how dumb and unnecessary it is. I think he just said "throw that stupid robot in the garbage" a moment ago. He seems legitimately annoyed by it for something so trivial.

[Benjamin]

He needs to lay off the pot, I think.

[HC]

Rogan is not amused.

[Benjamin]

Okay okay, I was on the phone and had the broadcast on mute, why did Benson rush Thomson after the bell?

[HC]

Because Thomson ragdolled his ass and walked off like a boss. It was awesome. I'm not a Henderson fan.

[HC]

Thomson may have broken his hand apparently......Dammit.

[HC]

Yeah, you can tell it's broken. He's not using it at all. He was looking so good too.

[Benjamin]

I'm not a Henderson fan.

You're the devil!

[HC]

Never been a fan. And I got this even through 4 rounds, injured hand and all. Come on Josh!

[HC]

Henderson took that. Yuck. Great effort by Josh with really shitty luck on the injury.

[Benjamin]

That was a great fight. Loved every second of it. A fucking cradle in an MMA fight. Giddy as a schoolgirl.

Thomson won in my books, though. Have no idea how one judge gave Ben 49-46.

[HC]

I had it 3-2 Benson, but 3-2 Josh was also justifiable. 4-1 for either guy is crazy though. Good fight.

[Benjamin]

Right now it's at the top of my Fight of the Year list. Not that there's a lot of competition for that.

[Benjamin]

The SuperBowl bet between Cerrone and Benson might be off because they just found out that eyebrows don't grow back

Also, Thomson is considering retirement, which he said he would still be doing even if he had won today

[Summers]

Heck yeah BenHen!

[Walker]

Shame about the hand. Was looking like a Thomson win until then.

[Rich]

I enjoyed it. Thought Stipe's boxing was solid, very enjoyable to watch.

I'm with you on this

I am not with you on this. Not saying it was a bad fight, but there were better fights on the card and we had Dillashaw/Easton the other day which was a better fight in my opinion. This fight was just the same as the majority of Bendo fights, alright, interesting, but nothing special

[Cymbols]

Thomson took 1 and 2. Hendo took 3. Thomson took 4 and 5 in my opinion. Fucking Benson Henderson picking up another controversial decision.

Oh yeah, that fight was amazing as well. I might have to think about this for a while.

I think the reason I loved this fight so much was that there were so many different techniques used that aren't typically used in an MMA fight and there were also tiny little intricate stuff that made it fun for me. I mean, that cradle sweep was executed perfectly, Thomson kept on utilizing the underrated body lock in place of the hooks, Bendo was being a genius by always standing up and making Thomson take the weight on his legs instead of just turning to the ankle grip side, Bendo's leaping right uppercut to the body to close the gap, that sick knee he hit on Thomson by feinting that he was going to punch the body again, his kicking of Thomson's calves. That's just from memory. I loved it. Honestly believe that the decision really took a lot of the sweetness out of it, just like the Hendricks versus GSP fight.

I will echo Pettis's opinion in that Benson is like the GSP of the lightweight division.
