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

Stale mixed martial artist.

Well rounded, quite the athlete. But lacks the needed aspects of a 'fighter'.
 
Kinda. when he fights the cream of the crop, the fights are evenly contested which makes them exciting imo but replay value wise, they are not great to rewatch.

But when he can do what he wants to do ala the first Edgar fight, Diaz, Miller etc. then he's damn exciting.
 
I find him really corny and annoying as a person, but his fights fall in more in the "meh" category for me. Not exactly boring, but not really something I look forward to. I generally root for his opponents, exceptions being Nate Diaz and Clay Guida.
 
I don't think he's boring. Dude's extremely lucky, though. He's walked away with the most and craziest decision wins in fighting history.
 
I don't find him boring, but I don't find him as exciting as, say, Mighty Mouse either.
 
Hes a technically sound cerebral fighter.That said he does always stay active so while i dont find him exciting, he isnt boring either
 
Assuming this is your first account...

Get used to it, bro.

Yea, been lurker for years because couldn't register for whatever reason. Maybe not baffeled but it was certainly odd how many people thought it was a boring fight. I guess the thin people are bored with here is the close dec with Bendo. I don't personally even care about close or bad decisision if the fight's been good. Yea it can suck if a fighter loses a shot at the title because of that but I don't think the matchmaking in the UFC is that serious. I mean look at the case of a legendery warrior Sexyama who almost lost his way to titleshot getting tougher and tougher opponents along the way.
 
I have no problem with him or his style and like to see his fights. He's not as vocal as other champions however.

You don't know who Leonard Garcia is.
 
I find him boring as hell but that won't stop me from watching his fights.

He is a very good fighter.
