Benson Henderson vs Saad Awad added to Bellator 208

[Hardcore MMA]

UFC vet Benson Henderson takes on Bellator vet Saad Awad at Bellator 208 in October. Should be a good scrap since Awad seems to have improved with age, while Benson seems to have regressed. A few years ago, I think Benson would easily take this fight. In 2018, I think it’s any mans fight. Who you got?

this is kinda interesting. i have to go with benson but he's been pretty meh in bellator while awad has been on a decent run albeit against lesser guys

 

[Go Go Plata]

Awad is pretty slick off his back and has KO power but I can't see him beating Bendo's style. Bendo by UD. Good fight though.

Bendo is the favorite to win this fight, but Award may give him some problems.

This is a crucial fight for Bendo to stay relevant, a lose may cause him a lot on this fight.

While for Awad, a win for Bendo can really catapult him into contention and make him a household name.

Awad fan here, fan since Will Brooks KO. gonna love when he sleeps Bendooo cmon Awad!

 

[RODNEY83]

Saad Awaad tends to break his hands and injure his hands in fights, which actually costs him in fights because it takes away a lot of his arsenal. He definitely can't afford to have that happen against Benson Henderson

Solid Co-Main. HTG with Benson
