Interesting bet.. until I remembered what happened in Diaz vs Miller. When I think Jim Miller, I think similar to Benson Henderson. What about the sub defense though? Benson Henderson is a strong wrestler with excellent sub defense, not just good. I see Nate getting man handled unable to nab a sub on the ground. And if I wasn't a broke chump at the moment I'd love to make this bet.

Anyway, this is going to be an excellent night of fights. Don't forget after this card ends you can catch the Manny Pacquiáo fight. Fight fans live for these nights, gives me a bona baby!

Benson has some of the best sub defense BUT, he knows this and willingly lets himself get into subs very often. The problem is, with Diaz, there is no sub defense when you go against one of the best submission kats in the world....

This fight will either go down like Diaz/conduit fight, lots of hit and runs...
OR
Benson is going to sleep...

Looking forward to this fight! Nate is a better stand up fighter for sure and has one of the best ground game out there. However Ben is a natural athlete and I am afraid that if Ben doesn't have success standing up that he will take it to the ground. If he gets Nate to the ground I can see 5 rounds of top control to a very boring win. Not that I don't think that Nate won't work from the ground. Its just that the Diaz boy's seem to get their loses by people just sitting on top control and doing the old lay and pray. Remember that Ben is an F1 hybrid and gets all that hybrid vigor. Rua has never been what he was in Pride but then again a lot of pride fighters are older now and I am fairly sure that they aren't on as much juice as they were in Japan. So I say that Rua goes to sleep. The BJ fight all depends on how BJ trained or more importantly if he trained! I'll go with swick just cuzz its a crap shoot. Should be a good night of fights!

Nice card. Going with Henderson, Hua, MacDonald and Brown. Don't particularly like the Diaz brothers, so I may be prejudiced there......
