You say he threw Benson around then ask if I'm blind? lolwut?
When the fuck did he ever throw Benson around?
You thought Rustam lost the first?
Dude, how many takedowns did he get? Honestly, and how many times did he lift Benson off the ground? Count it and then get back to me.
The 1st was a toss up and Benson easily won the 2nd and 3rd.

You are probably the one guy that was happy with the 30-27 for Sanchez. Or maybe you are that judge. Seriously, people this biased are the reason Melendez doesn't have the belt he earned off of Bendo.
So now scoring a takedown = "throwing him around" lol ok guy
Rustam showed he can hang with the top of the divison, he just needs to improve his cardio. Looked gassed in the 3rd round. Had him winning he fight up until he got subbed, looking forward to seeing improvements in the future.
Rustam won the first, lost the second and got finished in the third, until tan he was losing the thurd as well.
Huge step up today in comp for him though and he did great against the best Bending has looked probably ever.
This bothers me, look at the Sherdog PBP for round 3, the action described, and then bewildering score:
Khabilov catches a low kick and trips Henderson to the ground, then nearly rushes into an upkick from the former champ. Henderson gets to his knees but is caught there in a Khabilov headlock, prompting referee Yamasaki to call for action after a few seconds. The lightweights stand and reset in the center, but Henderson soon pushes the action to the outside. Henderson shoots in, gets stuffed and eats a big left hook from Khabilov as he stands. A right hand connects for Khabilov in a brief clinch, Henderson chases him across the cage, and Khabilov catches a kick for a takedown. Henderson tries a guillotine on the way down; the choke isn
Dude, he lost in the fourth...
He easily won round 1 and maybe 3.
He threw Benson around, muscled him around, and landed the only significant strikes except that nasty leg kick. Of course he won those rounds. That bodylock and groundwork might have, MIGHT HAVE, gotten him the second round. You blind man?
