Donald aint going no where he will be bak and will be what i beleive the next light weight champ, i jus see it in his will to fight. it was a hell of a fight but i think donald shoulda walked away with the belt, even thow hendersons performance for amazing

Agreed, Cowboys one of my faves, always makes for entertaining fights.

It was a very close fight, henderson without a doubt held the dominate positions and like u said got a little sloppy in 4 and 5, but i think it was the right decision, cerone did ver good but henderson was just amazing and blew me away with his submission defense and ground and pound Henderson v. Varner will be awesome, i hope they have it here in AZ

Actually they're having it in my city, looking forward to it.

you think he won round 1? i admit that i don't really know much about how mma fights are typically scored but henderson was wailing away on him. cerrone only had that one guillotine attempt and that was bout it.

I thought it was a close round but gave it to Cerrone because he came closer to finishing the fight.

@TheACDCROKR I want to see him get another title shot soon.....he's been even more of a beast since joining Greg Jackson. The lightweights are the deepest division in the mma, with any of those guys you must bring your A game.

@ogshowme yuppp, even varner seemed surprised by the decision and credited to Ben's ability to survive those vicious submission attempts by Cerrone, which like u said was amazing but not something thats ever been taken into account as far as scoring a fight goes. I've seen Cerrone is several fights and he always goes hard and is the most unrelenting fighter in the sport. Cerrone definitely shoulda pulled that one out. And if you dont think so then maybe you didn't hear the crowd booing Ben's ass

[TheACDCROKR]

I watched this fight 2x and both times I scored it the same w/ Cerrone winning rds 1, 4 n 5 while I gave Henderson 2 n 3.There is no way in hell that Henderson shoulda won n I was pissed wen he won the decision.That was sum serious BULL SHIT! Even the commentators said they gave Cerrone rd 1 n he definitely didn't lose 4 or 5 so idk how he lost. I admit that I am a Cerrone fan, but when I went back n re-watched that fight I scored it with as little bias as possible n still had it the same.

However, even if Henderson was not fazed, Cerrone had multiple dominant positions (from the submission attempts)and that should have scored him some major points.
