Bendo smashes him based on experience. Size and striking power could prove otherwise, but realistically not a level of fighter skills wise that Brandon is ready for

I have to give the UFC credit for working to deliver a solid replacement main event.

I hate this because I really do like Thatch, but Bendo beats him in a close fight

Benson is...well Benson. Kudos for taking the fight, although I really did want to see Thompson/Thatch I'm more than happy with this match. Thatch is one of my favorite fighters who I've been high on since I first saw him fight on AXS TV, so I gotta pull for him to put Bendo down and out. Big test that I truly think he passes with flying colors. On the other hand I like Bendo. Always have and believe he's still a top shelf fighter so Brandon best have his A+ game.

Wow this sounds like a great fight. Brandon Thatch has brutal standup but he hasn't faces anyone near as good as Bendo.

Is a LW not cutting weight and fighting at WW really a solid replacement?

Didn't you know this was the plan all along? Clearly you're not getting the memos.

I don't see Benson winning this unless Thatch's sub defense sucks.

I give Thatch a chance here. He's a big long WW with sick Muay Thai skills and although his ground game is still improving Bendo doesent exactly mixes in takedown attempts as much. Could be a close fight and I don't know who will win but I certainly wouldn't rule out Thatch pulling out the win here IMO

Didn't Benson step in to fight someone else recently? Was it Masvidal?

Yep, that fight is in April though, plenty of time to get Masvidal a good replacement. Iaquinta would be perfect now actually.
