  • chewing on toothpicks is super cool

  • he was too good for tuf..thats why he didnt get picked..he went straight to wec

  • Rockin the toothepic in the demo video haha!

  • That's how you achieve goals people. Know *exactly* what you want and work hard to get it.

  • Comment removed

  • That's funny. Could be that his evolution outside of the UFC in smaller shows and the WEC were better for him that TUF, but it's funny.

  • We've to take Dana White serious?? I mean Junie Browning in and Bendo not....... lol. I'm happy Bendo didn't need TUF to be where he's at now. Bendo FTW!!!!

  • Assuming this was a try out for ultimate fighter 9 with US vs UK. Ben Henderson would have recked everybody on that show haha

  • whats up with the toothpick lol.

  • that toothpick is gangsta

  • He came, he said, he did. Great job Ben!!

  • How did he not get picked? Especially considering some of the retards that have been on that show.

  • "You're looking at the future lightweight champion of the UFC." Way to go Benson.

  • @jrguitargeek I was thinking the same thing

  • Im glad he beat Edgar he is boring a fuck to watch. Last thing we need is another GSP staller.

  • Prophetic

  • rofl the only thing henderson landed signifcant was a fluke up kick that edgar ran in to ( his own fucking fault) besides that edgar was tossing henderson around like a bitch no way someone that much bigger should have been gtting dolled, it was funny.. i think the fight was closer than most of you faggots think

  • Well u guys gotta give Frankie credit he did pull off two rounds and he pulled off the fifth round after being badly hurt. Henderson left with one swollen eye and Frankie left with one plus a bloody nose. Frankie has heart no doubt so u cant call him a pussy hes a great entertaining fighter i would love to see a rematch because he gave maynard and Bj Penn rematches so the Ufc should return the favor.

  • edgar is a pussy boy compared to henderson

  • @HIVisaLIE U must b one of those stereotypical fight fans. ... u kno the egotistical, rude, ignorant ones. btw i love henderson just as much as frankie so thats pretty bad.

  • @HIVisaLIE after that kick in the face he took...i'd like to see if you get up and keep fighting like edgar did....i bet you are the biggest pussy alive

  • edgar got his azz whooped like a biotch against Henderson

  • they brought him up right small stages gain experiance. alot better than just staight to the wolves

  • Sweou = fail

  • OH THE IRONY..

  • Even Dana said that Edgar won that fight. The judges lately have been fucking terrible.

  • @sweou Dana isnt always right bro get his dick outta ur ass. Either A) you didnt watch the fight and ur just going with Dana's words or B) your dumb and dont know anything about the sport which is why i hate new fans. New mma fans are the worst they just watch it because its popular.

  • @sweou Dana is not a judge, he is not even a fighter.... and you believe him.

  • @sweou -danas high -edgar got his azz whoooped

    '

  • @HIVisaLIE Indeed he did... Joe Silva had Benson up all rounds by a landslide. Wasn't even close. Poor Frankie looks like he was in wreck.... oh shit he was that right.

  • @WOZCINEMA that fight actually was close.

  • We actually WERE looking at the future lightweight champ of the UFC. No need for TUF, you've done it Ben, congratulations!

  • haha got rejected by ultimate fighter, now is champion of ufc.

  • "I will win season 9 of TUF", I bet people still throw that one back in his face.

  • This guy is a beast!

  • things worked out well for him, he made his name and reputation with the wec and those exciting fights he had towards the end of 2009 into 2010< while the tuf season 9 cast tread water and now we fast forward to modern day ufc, he headlines agains frankie edgar and wins the world title.

  • fUTURE ufc lw CHAMP THAT IS TRUE.

  • This random guy will never be champion. Not good enough.

  • This probably got him his WEC deal, considering both were owned by Zuffa at the time. I think it was better in the long run, though, he got to slowly build himself with fights against a similar level of opposition there with the likes of Cerrone, Pettis, Roller, and Njokuani.

  • well u know what fellas.. his a LIGHTweight champ at UFC ..

  • Who's this nerd? Glad TUF didn't accept him

  • i guess they didnt like his glasses and toothpick..and unshaved face..

  • whats that background song its fucking dope

  • my old boss used to to bite on a straw all day long as a means of kicking a smoking habit, otherwise i dunno wtf you're doing with a toothpick in your mouth in a cage doing an audition

  • @dumbtardface Bendo always had a toothpick in his mouth, supposedly during his hs and college wrestling days.

  • Bendo looks like a nerdy librarian from an '80s movie in this video. He just needed to take off the glasses and let his hair down, so the UFC could see that he is actually beautiful.

  • What a badass

  • I called it before him.

  • Yeah I think its very likely that they didn't choose him because they felt he would move on to the big time without being on TUF.

  • Benson's toothpick is a Zen like thing so he if Flowing W Da Go in a state of MU....seriously, detracts his over thinking of what is about to do, he is just Being in the Moment

  • edgar spoiled the takedown defense of henderson tho ..theres the loop hole 

  • What's up with that dorky toothpick?

  • Well, he called it when he said we were looking at the future UFC lightweight champion.

  • they didn't pick him because they knew he was gunna make it on his own and didn't need the show.

  • looking like a big ol' country redneck with that toothpick ahah

  • WTF is up with the toothpick, is he eating at the gym and needs to get shit outta his teeth?

  • he was right about that ufc championship thing

  • guess he got laser treatment for his eye's, he behaves like a champion and he deserved that win

  • what the name is this song?*backgournd, please

  • @vp1132 "My Neck, My Back" by Khia

  • awesome

  • Ben wasn't picked because he would have destroyed everybody on the UK or the US team. UFC stacked that season with more motivated UK fighters to bring in the viewers from both countries.

  • Good for Ben. TUF is more of a curse than a blessing for most fighters. They get the spotlight before their skills equal their fame and they don't feel compelled to train as hard. The hard road is usually the best road.

  • The show rarely picks top level fighters any more. They base a lot of it on personality, but the last few seasons lack that as well. BENDO's story really is that of an underdog. This guy brought the fight and like they say, "the Cream always rises to the top." Now, they're saying "And the NEW UFC Lightweight Champion of the World!.... Benson "Smooth" Henderson!"

  • That's an eye opener... I suspect he would have crushed Pearson or Winner

  • Only idiots like those on The Jersey Shore bring in ratings rofl not smart levelheaded people like Ben. He is much more respectable though so screw them for not picking him.

  • How typical that he wasn't chosen for TUF lol

  • im guessing the people at spike were more concerned with the ratings and getting fake fighters with green hair on their show , then finding the next big thing. and now he is the number 1 lightweight in the world. tough

  • good for you Ben, if only he wasn't "Jesus this", "Jesus that" I'd like him better.

  • 3:26 well he was right about that

  • damn he called it at the end.

  • Comment removed

  • people need to realize that TUF isn't always about the best fighters. Its about personalities as well as its a tv show. They mustn't have thought he would have been entertaining enough or contrast well with the rest of the contestants. Clearly it wasnt due to his fighting skill because hes a beast.

    This is why you get contestants like junie browning. terrible fighter but entertaining as hell.

  • He sure called it!

  • I agree with Arcturistheballer - he's not obnoxious enough to be on the show. They want ratings, not well behaved Christians that take their careers seriously. Would anyone watch that show, or any reality show, if there wasn't any drama? Of course not

  • @PhxAZGalKiki TUF has had plenty of well behaved fighters on the show.

  • Ben predicts his future around 3:25. That's pretty crazy

  • Politics..

  • stuff like this makes me think TUF brings guys in a bit too soon sometimes. 

  • The Champ is here!!

  • I think his fight with Edgar was a draw the only moment he had was the upkick and Edgar Iknocked him down in the 5th. Benson is boring to watch too. I think a rematch is do. And bensonp dumb handsign is lame. Pettis is gonna get that belt

  • @MrJoshMT 100 strikes to 81 for Ben, octagon control for ben, 3 solid submission attemtps.. edgar had round one and thats it.. plus one busted edgar and one scratch on bens neck.. hahahha

    get informed.. stop posting dumbshit

  • Lightweight champion.. yea right, oh wait.

  • Looks ok, but I don't think he would make it in the UFC.

  • @CoffeyMayne Clever

  • @CoffeyMayne You do realize that he's the new lightweight UFC Champ, right?! Seeing as how you posted 14 hours ago, it seems you might be a little misinformed.

  • @PhxAZGalKiki Whoosh!!!

  • @PhxAZGalKiki yes, yes I do lol. Big MMA fan! I'm Going to Rousey vs. Tate this Saturday in Columbus and I'm pumped!

  • @CoffeyMayne dont watch the ufc much do ya ?????? Since he is the CHAMP now 

  • @CoffeyMayne He is the UFC Lightweight Champion

  • @CoffeyMayne too late. he's the UFC Lightweight Champion

    

  • @CoffeyMayne - he made it FOOL he's the world Champion - he made Edgar look like a lil biotch

  • @HIVisaLIE Sure did!

  • Strange. I heard they also denied T-Wood of a spot on TUF 9. Guess they wanted team UK to win easily.

  • They didn't want on the Ultimate Fighter cause he might a tad bit, too boring, and now he's their "Lightweight Champion?" WAR BENDO

  • It was a close fight, but he beat Frankie fair and square. I wish him a long reign as the UFC Lightweight champ.

    And I guess Varner had no idea his sparring partner would ended up taking his WEC Belt from him and triggering the downfall of his career.

  • Do I need to remind you that season 9 of TUF was the UK vs USA season? That season was an attempt to get MMA more popular in the UK. The US fighters on that season were terrible, and were picked for that exact reason. They didn't want someone like Bendo just demolishing the British fighters.

  • @OxMan33 Haters gon hate...You mad?

  • YEAH HE WASNT KIDDING DAWGS

    FRANKIE EDGAR AINT THE ANSWER NO MORE

  • Fuck yeah watching him fight tonight baby!

  • Comment removed

  • OH shit he was right BENSATION > Linsanity

  • Hooah to dat.. All day

  • Ben = Too Tough for TUF

  • Funny thing that he said we were looking at the future lightweight champ and 1 month from now he's fighting for the title. Hard work and determination do pay off.

  • HIS LEGS ARE IMMENSE

  • BENDO RULESSSS!

  • I like how manny reyes jr audition tape and ben henderson's audition are closely linked. Really shows good contrast.

  • you're looking at the future lightweight champion of the UFC.....yes, yes we are

  • @theprofessional1414 agree with you man, he will bully edgar for sure. I mean respect to Edgar, i don't hate him but this guy's just amazing.

  • Well he's getting a title shot now...

  • You guys are all idiots as to why he didn't get picked. Hes level headed, smart and calm AKA hes not going to get wasted every night, break glass, start shit with the other fighters and cause a bunch of drama.

    He is one of my favorite fighters but do you honestly think Ben Henderson is going to bring in ratings outside the cage? The man spends his Saturday night at barns and noble.

  • @Arcturistheballer he destroys people, of course he would be good for the show. LOL.

  • @Arcturistheballer lol yeah he's like me 

  • @Arcturistheballer Not to mention his IQ is likely double the average of the guys in the house. Yep, brains and a calm, professional fighter just don't make it for TUF and Dana's world of controversial promotion.

  • @Arcturistheballer uuummmmm thats EVER UFC fighter other then Aldo right now lol, and i still get pumped with every title shot.....so your wrong

  • @TheTokyoRejects yeah you get pumped for every title shot because you are watching them fight, if you understood my post you would be able to see that I agree with you. My point is that they want people who start drama and bring ratings on TUF as well as good fighters.

  • @Arcturistheballer Agreed. Same thing happened to Jim Miller. He is too level-headed and calm, and wouldn't bring the ratings up just by being an awesome fighter.

  • they didnt pick him cuz they want a competition between guys not somebody who will whoop every1 else's ass

  • @LilBlitz116 amen

  • He didn't get picked because he had a toothpick in his mouth like a idiot.

  • You can't punch a guy with glasses .. it's not right.

  • YOURE TOO FUCKING GOOD FOR THE TUF FREE RIDE BENDO

  • Damn....he won all those fights with his glasses ...

  • upcoming superstar 

  • He went to the WEC after this for his following fight which took him to 8-1. Im gathering the people that reviewed the tapes thought he was perhaps to expierenced for the show but thought it'd be wise to hold onto him. And It obviously was the right idea cus hes turned out pretty good!

  • @undi They didn't think he was too experienced...he wasn't. He was in regional promotions with 8 fights. There's guys in TUF with double digits and even high level experience (Roy Nelson).

  • @lococow33 dillashaw got picked and he was only 4-0.

    dumbshit.

    henderson was too good. he'll beat edgar at ufc 144 for sure.

  • Maybe becouse of the toothpick

  • Why wasnt he on the show??

  • @oldschoolrock4evr

    He went to the WEC after this for his following fight which took him to 8-1 (at the time). Im gathering the people that reviewed the tapes thought he was perhaps to expierenced for the show but thought it'd be wise to hold onto him. And It obviously was the right idea cus hes turned out pretty good!
