I would actually give Gilbert the edge in terms of being the worst matchup for Bendo. Josh is awesome but I could see him getting out-Joshed by Bendo. |

Edgar probably beats him again, just like last time. |

Pettis People severely underestimate how much of a mental edge Pettis will have going into their rematch. He already beat Bendo once and Bendo has come out and said that he still has nightmares of the Showtime kick. I can see Bendo being more tentative than usual if he ever fights Pettis again. Not to say that he wouldn't beat Pettis in a rematch, but I think Pettis is the only one with a mental edge over him. |

JerseyShoreTapTeam - PettisIt could also work the opposite way and Bendo could come out with something to prove more than ever before. But yeah, that's a fight that we definitely need a part II of

I don't know that theres anyone left that can likely beat him. Maynard is too slow and would lose a kickboxing match. Pettis BARELY won the first fight, and I think Benson has improved much much more. Maybe Alvarez or Melendez...but I doubt it. |

Has Gunnar Nelson ever fought at 155? Doesn't he walk at 175? I think Edson Barboza could do some damage to Ben if he plays the game right and avoids the takedowns. |

Mr Sponge - Alvarez, Pettis, Melendez have the best chance to beat him. Funny you mentioend 3 guys that the UFC tried to keep out of their organization. |

circa305 -Not even remotely true, don't spew that bullshit. Zuffa has been actively courting Eddie for awhile now, Pettis has been in the org for over a year and is close to a title shot, and Melendez will be in the org 2 months from now. And Bendo has only been the champ for the better part of a year, it's not like Zuffa has been pushing him towards being a long reigning champion for multiple years or something.Mr Sponge - Alvarez, Pettis, Melendez have the best chance to beat him.

what would sakuraba do -GayGuardMooseSaucy - Ben would wreck Thomson. what are you talking about? edgar is going to have serious problems with aldo. bendo is not nearly as fast as aldo. and im one of the biggest supporters of bendo on here. edgar might be slower than aldo.cruz is at 135 for a reason wait and see how it happens but you made a lot of lofty claims that probably wont come true. and gray isnt getting a title shot for at least 6 months to a year. hes injured. edgar has to get that fight to the ground and use his wrestling to beat aldo. standing and trading like he did with ben isnt a good idea imo but hes frankie edgar you know hes frankie fucking edgar. |

definitly not Josh Thomson. If Henderson fought Shinya Aoki 10 times, Henderson would win 7 or 8 of those times. But if they fought 1 time and Aoki submitted Henderson, I wouldn't be surprized at all. |

also, alot of people sleep on Masvidal. makes sense in a way because of his fight with Melendez. but... he's not the type to talk about having a broken hand from round 1 on in that fight. |

subwrassler - also, alot of people sleep on Masvidal.I never sleep on Masvidal, I've rooted for him in all his match ups the past 4 years. But I dunno if he has the style to keep Bendo guessing the whole fight. He's got kicks and knees, but he favors his hands almost entirely . I don't think anyone can beat Bendo with just their hands unless they have monster power(like Alvarez) so I don't see Masvidal winning.

I don't see Maynard outwrestling Bendo significantly and he is outclassed on the feet. |

GriffinQ -I think chandlers more powerful then Alvarez gray too. Alvarez is technical tho. I agree someone needs a powerful grappling Game and dynamic striking. Not many have thatsubwrassler - also, alot of people sleep on Masvidal.I never sleep on Masvidal, I've rooted for him in all his match ups the past 4 years.
