Benson Henderson vs Gilbert Melendez Highlights (Great CHAMPIONSHIP Dogfight)

[@dorgenois100]

Pretty much every Ben Henderson highlights are like this. Dude is all action

[@dannielson2946]

Yes action but benson has got too learn how too box better his hands are barely used. Fight goes too Gilbert in my book sorry but all bensons take downs are negated when he pops back up that fast. Great kicks from ben tho.dana got tired of his ass

Literally every time Ben tried to fix his hair Gilbert hit him 😂

[@dubtv6160]

Thats what i was saying lmao wow crazy if he didnt have hair or fixed it before better

[@tikka300wsm5]

Henderson spent half of every fight getting his hair out of his face.

[@hijvgkolfsr5871]

Elvows

[@strawman9410]

Then getting punched in the face while doing it, not the right haircut for fighting.

[@tahoeclay]

3/4

Is good for him if he get his hair cut ahort

[@dodikjaya8475]

His hair is the real opponent

[@stalker7892]

Looks like Benson was more distracted by his hair than he was with Melendez.

[@barendfourie6687]

I cant watch a fighter that is more concerned with his hair than the fight.

[@davidbergeron9865]

I always hated how much time and effort henderson puts into brushing the hair out of his face.

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

I feel like Benson would have more wins and success if he trimmed his hair a little.

[@andregeorgescu4399]

NO ONE CAN SAY THAT THIS WASN'T A GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN TWO GREAT MEN IN THE RING! 🤛🤝🤜🤝🤝🤝✊👊👏👏👏👏👍

[@MrSh4des]

Dude needs to get his hair braided before fights or something

[@carlosesquivel5103]

Prime Benson would be very competitive with the top Lightweights of today, or the very least no one would dominate him.

[@masitaatisam3679]

Throwing a pony backwords every 10 seconds would drive me nuts .. Even as a oponent 😬

[@tztz1949]

Benson would be better if he wouldn't adjust his hair constantly.

[@AshSmash123]

Yes, looks good but why he's never braided or skinned it is silly!.

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

I always kind of thought Gilbert won that fight but it's amazing how Benson Henderson fights with a toothpick in his mouth all the time

[@karankots]

This highlight looked like a full Fight to me since it was action packed

[@李明昌-y6z]

Why doesn't Henderson cut his hair shorter? He always adjust his hair in the game

[@serialchiler]

[@TheFireStarter1215]

Cause he's not perfect, never has been

[@joebuzz2758]

Henderson needs to do something with his hair. Every 5 seconds he has to push it out of his face.

[@danielvanness6936]

For sure, It's stupid to keep doing that. It's like a tic he has. He lost this fight. The scorecards are way off.

[@floridamarkandreim.4945]

Benson never been K.O in such a hard way even if that hair blocking his sight.

[@icenutsproductions9682]

The main wec lightweights (benson,Pettis, cerrone)are what I think of when I think of mma fighters good flashy kicks good takedowns good ovensive guards. My favorite fighters to watch

Good fight by two legends - Henderson with the legs and Gilbert with the hands!

[@hubadfun5975]

Ben needs to cut his long Brad Pitt hair because half the time he has to rearrange it during the fight.

[@ebowden1168]

Anyone saying benson needs to get his hair cut definitely wasn’t old enough to see him fight in his prime lol

[@hoondaily270]

The guy fought with a tooth pick in his mouth

[@cedricbeard4609]

He got it braided in his next fight for that reason. Ironically a loss to Pettis.

[@TheKamereaminit]

Ha the hair thing is hilarious. Dude caught at least 25 punches to the head while fixing hair and still won. I wonder if he swallowed his toothpick 🤔

[@I.GGjinn]

he uses that motion with his hair to keep his guard up.but yeah it's funnt

[@SilverTreasures]

Dude was fixing his hair the whole time

[@narann2267]

Henderson should tie hair or do something. Or he may lose important fights.

[@franchisefred4066]

Probably the best matchup lightweights in the UFC

[@grabir01]

Henderson always playing with his hair. Telegraphing. Ya never know what you are going to get with Ben.

[@kenw.simpson1007]

A tough one for Benson. Melendez challenged him throughout and was both tough and clever enough to do well against Benson's talent and experience.

[@samiyrchander1546]

Nice Next Gil vs Alvarez And Pettis vs Alvarez Pettis vs barboza

[@letsgobrandon3043]

I dont know why the crowd complained. You have to beat the champ to be the champ. He did not beat the champ.

[@rahmattosa3474]

gilbert he never using his knee, elbow, no kick.. did not do combination attack.. just like a boxer.. actualy he has a lot of the way to be winner

[@giovannitabogo5738]

hair is a disadvantage ..... he worries every time his hair falls on his face

[@Hurricane_Dan]

I thought the same thing

[@bigwavedave2655]

I felt like Melendez should’ve won that fight. Henderson didn’t look like he was getting the better of the exchanges IMO.

[@cameraduong9886]

He won the fight because he fixed his hair more often then his component

This fight brought to you by Head & Shoulders.He should replace Troy Palemallu..

[@datazndood]

The amount of times he had to tuck his hair is pretty inconvenient and gives the opponent margin for attack it’s kinda crazy.

[@roycekennethminordevera2870]

I don’t know what happened to Bendo, that guy was never in an boring fight because all of his fights are all action! Yeah the fights are all close but drum they are all entertaining BUT when he move to Bellator he seems more conservative in his fights, quite the opposite of the old Bendo were he held nothing back while fighting.

The king of controvertial split decisions

[@t.a-8469]

Could be a good tactic to keep your hands up. Everyone is commenting about his hair but if it were a problem for him he wouldn't have made it to champ. I'd say it has it's advantages more so against your opponent... Unless it's a street fight where hair pulling could happen . Yes I have long hair so fuck off. lol
