Just taking a trip down memory lane...
At UFC 164 Bendo was basically dick slapped in the face by Zuffa brass by having the event held in Pettis' hometown Milwaukee. What the fuck is that kind of treatment to a UFC champ who was heading towards breaking the lightweight championship title fight reign? Why would the title contender get a home town advantage, and has this ever happened before? I do not think it has.
Look we can say what we want about Bendo being a point fighter and dragging out decisions, but he did it in a rather entertaining fashion. He never layed and prayed and had the fight style of GSP.
I really think that was majorly disrespectful to the champ Bendo. Sure they were pushing Pettis hard, but i just find it rather baffling at times that Bendo had to defend his title in Pettis' home state....
Whats your thoughts on this??
