Benson Henderson vs Frankie Edgar 2 Highlights (Great FIGHT, Debatable Decision)

UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on August 11, 2012, at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.
Henderson defeated Edgar in the main event of UFC 144 on Feb. 26, 2012, winning the UFC lightweight title via unanimous decision.
The 155-pound elites put on a five-round affair that showed technical prowess and tremendous resolve.
It was a great fight. It wasn't an all-time great, but it was definitely worth the build-up and the money. Edgar and Henderson, as well as the rest of the performers, put on a more-than-modest show.
Henderson clearly won round one, peppering Edgar with solid leg kicks and getting the former champion into a tight guillotine over the final 20 seconds of the round. Edgar just as clearly won round two, dropping Henderson with a big right hand and then controlling him on the ground for much of the stanza.
Then things got a little tighter.
Round three was one of the closest rounds seen in a UFC championship in quite some time, with both men active but neither doing major damage. In rounds four and five, both fighters scored, with Edgar scoring with strikes off the breaks and also ducking many of Henderson's strikes and answering with counters. But Henderson's strikes landed more heavily.
In a bout that was very tightly contested, Henderson defeated Edgar again, this time via split decision.
Tony Weeks scored the bout 49-46 for Edgar, giving him the final four rounds. Mark Van Tine and Dave Hagen had it at 48-47 for Henderson, as both gave him rounds 1, 3, and 4.
Henderson (17-2), who had then won 14 of his past 15 fights, felt he earned the decision.
"You always have a concern whenever it goes to a decision," Henderson said. "Frankie's tough. We all know how tough Frankie is. ... They always bring it in rematches."
Though some also felt Edgar (14-3-1) earned the decision, he was faced with the reality that he's dropped back-to-back fights to the champion.
"It don't matter," Edgar said. "I thought I brought it to him. I don't know if I can watch that fight. It don't matter. I'm upset, man. What are you gonna do?"

Does anyone remember when Benson looked like he’d been in a fight? That guy never looks to be beat up.

[@nycrevolutionary9663]

This Frankie would beat chito and all the guys who recent beat him father time just catches up he's been fighting forever

[@joondagoon6774]

Frankie is still a savage that’s the thing but idk if he can take the punishment anymore so his heart can continue but idk if his body can keep up

[@AaronTats]

The wars against Maynard along with his fights against Max and Aldo really shortened his prime. He’s the most underrated fighter of all time.

Very good fight. Edgar won

[@hakr1298]

So edgar outstruck hendo, dropped him, landed the only two takedowns in the fight, and still did not win the fight?

[@cheetah2908]

I watched this fight live, frankie out landed Hendo by 2 strikes only . He clearly won 2 rds , 1rd could go either way. But as we all knw a debatable rd always goes to the champ. Hence, Hendo was handed the win. Only an Edgar fan would bitch about this decision.

[@hakr1298]

@@cheetah2908 i'm not a fan of any of them, just saying, everyone has their opinions on who won in many occasions, and i still think edgar won

[@franco222]

To me, there's a big difference between knocking someone down hurt, or unhurt. If you look at Benson during his knockdown, he wasn't hurt.

[@joondagoon6774]

It could’ve gone either way and benson hurt frankie in the 5th when Frankie mouthpiece came out so he may have stole that round. This fight was similar to Henry vs Dj 2. Both made amazing adjustments and put on a good dight

[@ThoughtGnu]

This was peak Frankie right here, this version of him vs the current top 5 Lightweights he would lose to everyone in the top 5.

[@user-sg6bs1gs4n]

Frankie won he got a knockdown and two takedown. He was aggressive through out the fight. He won according to today's standard.

[@jacobsaunders1092]

Nah

[@jimmynovak7913]

Nah, I didn’t see a finish. Takedowns barely even count if you don’t use it. He never used it, not even for a few seconds of control. If it goes to the judges you can’t claim anyone won the fight, that’s just how it is. It could be damn near all one sided and obvious but if you don’t get the finish the judges may just hand you a loss. Especially by todays standards. Lol

[@geneautry5224]

Really?

[@muhammadsolikhin9175]

False decision

[@tonylee1886]

Edgar threw the hat like he got stolen his win but to get the champion belt as a challengers, you have to dominate the round to get 1 more point. This was pretty much even fight

[@I_barely_know]

So as a champion as long as you dont get finished or dominated you should get the win?

I think the fight was pretty even and Frankie has no quit in him. His pace is always consistent in every fight. Henderson is pretty similar with his pace and never shows fatigue. I’m a Frankie Edgar fan from back in the BJ Penn days so I always root for Frankie.

[@claudiegarnier4560]

@@RahulKumar-qj7kg or maybe cause of the fucking toothpick he always got in his mouth while fighting🤣

[@stevet4564]

Edgar won it with the takedowns and the counter striking he slipped alot of strikes while delivering two of his own... damn his footwork was amazing.. really the main thing that gives a smaller fighter a good chance when striking... It was a closer fight than most but this is an example of why Judges should be more closely scrutinized and somehow more transparent with their scoring,...so a robbery like this doesn't happen. I like both fighters but I feel like sometimes Judges feel like a close title fight is a day off..just give it back to the champ..but that wasn't, imo, as close as most might think.
