Rick Story would be a good first outing
Until Rick Knocks him out.

I know he wants 1 more at 155 but they could do him vs Lombard since Woodley is too scared

Can't wait until Carlos returns.
He would give Ben fits. IMO.
Fukit.
He would Knock Ben out IMO.

Five rounder. Carlos should always fight five rounders.

problem is Condit still has shitty TDD so Bendo might be able to get it to the ground...
I will say this..that fight would feature prob the 2 best offensive fighters off their back in the UFC

Ben is close to the same size as GSP was, he is a huge LW.

Is that true? I've never seen info on Bendo's cage weight. I know Firas Zahabi said GSP fought at 192lb.

Firas said that GSP, prior to the Shields fight, increased his weight lifting and bulked up to 192, 193. He was unhappy with how he felt with the added muscle and went back down to mid 180s. In preparing for UFC 137, Firas said this:
Right now for this camp, he's been around 183 or 184, and that's before workouts. That's because we've been doing more gymnastics and less weightlifting.

I can't see how this move is going to help Benson out, I don't think he beats a lot of the top guys at Welterweight. Make for some interesting match-ups though.

bendo can scrap with a lot of the WW guys...but not necessarily be able to pull many wins off against that top 6-7 that WW has.
a lot of big guys..a lot of good grapplers.. a lot of power hitters.. and then guys like rory and condit who are very long and technical.
is bendo really that oversized at lightweight?? his legs are huge but the rest of him has always looked slim.

Benson can take on Tarec after Rory humiliates him.
