Nate Diaz wasn't at his best in this match, he improved after this match, Conor would beat this Diaz for sure, Diaz is much stronger in welterweight, he beat Athony Pettis who beat Benson Henderson twice
Benson Henderson was a peak into the future of the sport if you look at fighters today most styles especially in the lighter divisions resemble his fight style. He was well rounded and had insane physical conditioning.
@@TheNEOverse yup, one of the first in the ufc to utilize it consistently. he’s very well rounded on top of that. he even fought with a toothpick in his mouth and won fights lmao
Nate has been subject to several beatdowns in his career. This was one of them. The most hilarious part of all this was how Nate flipped the bird, continued to taunt, and got dropped immediately. Only Nate Diaz...
@@hogsandsooners I thought he said something about "boring-ass wresting", but maybe I see his face and automatically hear those words ringing in my ears.
This fight is funny as fuck, one guy flips off the other while getting his ass kicked and then the winner gets up with a toothpick in his mouth. Iconic
He was very good, underrated even but couldn't consistently finish fights despite having all the tools to do so. He has SO MANY decisions on his record, in particular split decisions some of which were controversial.
@@DxModel219 Haha, yes, didn't know that. Is that a video game reference? Also there is the myth of Samson in the Bible--dude with long hair that had unreal strength due to being favoured by God himself. But unfortunately, he got his hair cut off and lost all his strength. True story.
He’s just another California loudmouth that thinks he’s worth more than he is. Like congrats dude, you’re a pothead that flips people off. Sooo coooool...
He was, but unfortunately he kept fighting for decisions instead of wins. It sucked because the WEC/UFC years were in his prime and he only started going for finishes again after Pettis arm barred him.
Most underated fighter is Bendo, it was at his best level this evening, i think that he could finished Nate but chose to kick his ass during 5rd. Nate was outclassed, from so far!!
People saying nate sucks because they don’t know who this guy is and mentioning khabib. Henderson was a great champion and also won bronze at bjj world championships. He was lightweight champion and went on an almost 12 fight win streak if Pettis hadn’t split it in half. He’s also had 3 fights with cerrone winning 2( great fights really worth a watch) and bet Jorge masvidal.
Benson is extremely tough. Don’t forget he also broke Patricio Pitbull’s leg by checking a leg kick and is one of only a few people to beat Patricio. Patricio is possibly the best 145lber in the world.
@@jacobsamano9761 yep I’d agree Patricio is the best 145er in the world, koed Micheal chandler in a minute or so who has a good chance of winning the ufc lightweight title although Im not sure how in prime chandler was tbh I haven’t watched too much bellator👍🏼
Benson was one of my favs to watch. I also love how Nate is the guy to flip you off during the fight and then shake your hand afterwards. Just awesome.
You don't know nate's fan or nate. He isnt Anderson Silva or khabib or gsp. Win/lose, He got beat up in almost every fights. He fights like slow motion. But that aside, the beauty is Rocky Balboa first lucky shot that stunt ivan drago after all that beating from Ivan. Or the beauty of the fights between naruto and neji at the chunin exam. Not saying nates a hero or anything but he's certainly got an interesting fighting character.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Chandler is so good at explosive early fight like he done with Hooker but man Henderson can survive from it and nearly comeback .
Diaz got the crap beat out of him. Henderson didn't have a scratch on him. Diaz is what you call a club fighter. Tough but just an average fighter. He's not fast. He doesn't hit hard. Everything about him is average--except his chin. He can take an incredible beating and keep on coming.
I always enjoy seeing Diaz getting his ass thoroughly beat. I will admit that he is tough as they come. He almost always provides an entertaining fight. I have no idea how the judges come up with their scores. Henderson clearly outscored him at least 2-1 in every round.
I think probably the only guy who could finish Nate from that position is Charles Oliveira, who is also probably the only person capable of submitting Nate.
Nate as tough as they come but he’s going to have some brain issues when he’s older for sure. Dude absorbs more punishment then any fighter I have seen. He got seriously worked in this fight.
Whatever. We all die. And he die as a fighter. An by the way, he has throw the most punches in ufc history. Over 2000. I love nate. Like connor said. He has a rock chin.
@@julianmuller4467 i also really like Nate. I respect his ability to take punishment and he never quits. I just worry he’s taking to many shots. And in this fight he got beat pretty bad.
Henderson is tough as fuk and is so underrated. He is a beast and he goes to war. He ate that kick by Pettis like it was nothing Showtime was made that kick didn’t end him
Dam you ain't kidding that ole boy is a nuclear 💣 bomb he is a tough dude I'll tell you what throwing him around like a rag doll and I'll be honest the Diaz brother didn't have a chance in that fight he couldn't get no punches in this dude was the serious dominator or should I say Terminator 😂 lol
@@bznshee I never hear anyone mention Benson. Ever. He might be on your list and my list, but the avg fan today are post Conor’s FW run…and they’ve never heard of Smooth Benson Henderson. Nate would get mentioned before Ben from 9/10 people.
@@josephjoy2245 Actually no there isn’t. If you don’t win, you can sell yourself to sailing into retirement. All Randy Couture did was win. All Anderson Silva did was win. All GSP did was win. Behind the mic, just those 3 examples weren’t “character/salesmen.” They were winners. BJ Penn was a winner. Matt Hughes was a winner. None were “characters.” Stipe also comes to mind. So does Cain. I’m sure you could think of dozens of examples too of boring personalities that are popular with fans bc they’re winners. Benson was a winner.
Don't you love Nate's signature arms out inviting the opponent, and then he takes ANOTHER beating. ??? Henderson never got his due rewards in this sport. I can't understand why? He is probably the only fighter Chandler does not want to meet again. Henderson got ROBBED in their Bellator match but that's history. I consider Henderson to be one of the all-time best fighters in his weight division(s). Imagine how amazing he would be if his hair wasn't impeding his vision!!
Henderson is top 3 most underrated athletes in the game. Guys Arsenal is freak isn’t intimidating. Imagine if he had the dramatic character that the limelight guys have
I think ppl forget Benson Henderson was one of the greatest lightweights the ufc has ever seen. Under appreciated.
he look roided up here
That's right, ppls quick forget and ufc more
Nate Diaz wasn't at his best in this match, he improved after this match, Conor would beat this Diaz for sure, Diaz is much stronger in welterweight, he beat Athony Pettis who beat Benson Henderson twice
Nobody gives a shit against bendo cuz he always robs people in decisions
no we haven't ....
I love how they felt the need to censor Nate's middle fingers throughout this display of violence.
Same when they censor cuss words on tv after you see a guy get his head blown off
That's hilarious

“Unsportive behaviour”

I lowkey hate him cause frankie’s my favorite lmao but I feel like prime bendo has a good chance of being champ in today’s era as well
His calf kicks were ahead of his time.

Same here
“When I’m getting my ass kicked, I make up by giving the middle finger to look cool” Nate Diaz
it’s cuz he don’t give a fuckkkkk
Henderson has been the one of most underrated fighter!!!
Congratulations brother! You finally made it! 👏 전사!!!
Bendo had some hype fights. I'll never forget his fights against Guida and Edgar. He was very similar to GSP with that grueling and balanced attack.
Yes, and he was extremely athletic and very muscular for his weightclass like GSP
This is the only time Nate got beat so bad he didn't complain about the decision.
I don’t think he protested when Rory pummeled him, either.

It was on a FOX fight night on a Friday I believe
This fight is funny as fuck, one guy flips off the other while getting his ass kicked and then the winner gets up with a toothpick in his mouth. Iconic
People forgot about Ben Henderson and how good he was
Not me he was absolutely pit bull
He was very good, underrated even but couldn't consistently finish fights despite having all the tools to do so. He has SO MANY decisions on his record, in particular split decisions some of which were controversial.
I remember watching this fight when it first aired and remember being extremely impressed with Benson‘s performance.
I love how we’re watching a blood sport and they felt the middle finger needed to be blurred.
the only challenge benson had this whole fight was keeping his hair out of his sight
Lol
And not swallowing the toothpick
Could throw an extra punch 🤛, instead of fixing his hair.
Thats every fight
He lost most of his fights because of his own hair in his eyes 👀
Why is no one talking about 4:38 that shit was funny af from both fighters
Benson is at level of Khabib. Never Bruised, never cut. A beast 😍
Of course not, benson was easily make verbal tap equivalent of submission with his opponent a years back, and khabib is undefeated all the way.
As a Khabib fan am happy that this man gave a beating to Nate
He could have been on the level of Khabib but his ego got in the way when he said he would better Anderson Silva upon becoming lightweight champ.
@@berkturkoglu Obviously, there can’t be another Khabib

Wonder how good Ben would’ve been if he wasn’t always brushing his hair out of his face..
Yeah good way to get flash knocked out by an overhand in belator cough cough...
Wonder how good Ben would've been if he wasn't lower his head, then got knocked out in 5 sec into the game...

Was giving away a punch combination for brushing his hair.

Kody Helms also, Congratulations to him for making it to the UFC.
3 middle fingers equal a take down in his fight yeah
Nate is so stupid
@@justhereforthememes5851 step in the octagon with him tough guy
Benson was in constant danger from his own hair
Nate landed more middle fingers than punches in this fight
Damn. When Benson was on his game, he looked unstoppable. Miss his fights.
When he was loaded up with PEDs you mean
What are you on about? He’s never been popped for anything. In fact, he’s always pushed for more random testings. Gtfoh
He didn't look unstoppable. He always went to split decisions against top fighters...but still one of the top 5 greatest lightweights ever imo
When u look into hendersons face u just can't be mad at him.
He looks so peaceful.
It’s the hair
Reminds me of a dude I worked with he looked like a monk but he could easily murder u, he was a savant in muay thaï.
yeah, love Diaz but outclassed... and even Henderson's cardio was right up there!
Benson pulling out that toothpick is an all time coldest fucking moments ever
I’ve never seen someone punch someone’s legs lol
Henderson outperformed Diaz in every aspect. Period!
All while holding a toothpick 🤣👌🏻

Bottom line Ben kicked Nate's ass. Nate's head is a brick. Only way he has survived so many fights. Conor hammered him numerous times and nate got up.
Benson was one of the best at this point in his career
