Do You Consider Benson 'Smooth' Henderson Boring or Not?

[PRIDEoftheUFC**]

I don't find him boring but I don't anticipate his fights with baited breath either. I do like watching him fight when he does fight though. Always did since he was in WEC.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

And let's not forget it takes two to tango. When Pettis/Bendo 1 won FOTY, don't think for a second that it was only because of Pettis. That was a dog fight between both guys from start to finish.

 

[JayElectra]

No. He's been in far too many great fights.

 

[BrainLeakage]

Of course not, he's a great fighter.

I find greatness in fighting thoroughly entertaining.

 

[...El Ray]

Not even once.

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

No.

His fights with Guida, Edgar 1, Diaz & Gil are by far his best fights.

He's by far the most disrespected fighter & IMO he does absolutely nothing wrong.

Quite sickening & pathetic IMO but hate on.

He should fight Grant next

 

[campbecc]

No he's not boring I'm a fan, but he's not as fun to watch as he was.

 

[TheWalkinDude]

To me he's an active and exciting fighter, but I also feel like he's found a style that he feels is safe and will win him most fights via decision. I also don't think he goes into a fight looking for a decision, but that he's aware his pace and scoring output saves him from putting himself at risk of losing. His killer instinct is suppressed by his desire to win and awareness of how to best do so.

 

[eXtv]

Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't. I don't really care for him or his grindy style either way.

 

[t00br00tal]

A bit on the safe side, but overall no.

 

[mrpvivian]

I don't find him boring but I don't anticipate his fights with baited breath either. I do like watching him fight when he does fight though. Always did since he was in WEC.

My feelings are exactly this.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

He's had some subpar fights and he definitely lacks some killer instinct type aggression, but overall I'll still watch him fight and wouldn't call him boring.

 

[Kanster]

Not at all.

Unlike GSP, he actually tries to finish the fight and puts on a show while doing so. A fight doesn't have to end in a finish to be exciting.

 

[Grok]

No, I do not consider him boring.

 

[crowded]

I voted yes because more and more I'm just not interested in watching him fight.

 

[glennrod]

technically he is a very entertaining fighter

 

[Minnja]

I don't think he's a boring fighter but there have been a few fights of his that I would not care to watch repeatedly. He struggles with fast, technical fighters and so when he goes against them he tries to be more technical which can lead to a lack of action compared to some of his other fights.

 

[DCarf]

I find guys like Diego Sanchez and Benson Henderson boring because there is almost 0 chance the fight will be finished in either way. It seems as if Benson doesn't take any risks which makes for a boring fight.

 

[Taric]

Benson has some really awesome fights in both the UFC and the WEC. Whether they're controversial or not is irrelevant.

 

[dontsnitch]

no. i just think he has proven that the top tiers of LW are about evenly matched.

I wish more people understood this.

Step into the ring with him, and you'll see how boring he is.
