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

[Shogun Rising]

Great exciting fighter and great ambassador to the sport.

The hate around here is among the silliest things Sherdog's got going right now.

 

[sb413197]

I voted "yes" but I'm still a fan of his, if that makes any sense.

 

[MMAaddictus]

No.

 

[MestizoIV]

I dont see him as Jon Fitch boring or Jacob Volkmann boring. More like GSP boring

 

[PUO3]

45% of Sherdog are retarded.

 

[Ironheart]

I don't think he's boring, but I am a bit tired of his tendency toward razor thin decision wins - a trend that happens more often than not since he first got his hands on UFC gold.

 

[Furiosozen]

He isn't an exciting fighter. His opponents are the ones who make some of his bouts exciting, putting him in danger sometimes.

 

[BrainLeakage]

45% of Sherdog are retarded.

It's more like 45% of Sherdog do not like Benson. Those that don't like him will say he is boring. That's what you say to belittle fighters that are extremely good, since you cannot say he sucks, you say he is boring.

It doesn't mean he is boring.

 

[Dethrone1989]

Never thought he was boring. Without a doubt he was a finisher in the WEC, but look at the guys he fights. The majority of them have never been finished.

Yep. 127 fights and only been finished four times.

 

[PUO3]

That's cute.

 

[MilesAbove]

That's cute.

So is your false dichotomy

 

[Y0cc3]

Haven't watched that much but his last fight was very entertaining.

 

[dmwalking]

Pre UFC title Bendo was a blast. He put on some epic fights. Post UFC title Bendo sucks to watch.

 

[Soner14]

If I consider MMA as a sport, than Benson is anything else but boring.

 

[HHJ]

not being a sheep,i would have to say No.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Benson displays a lack of planning during training and heavily reacts on what his opponent is doing come the fight. Wouldnt call him exciting or boring, just mediocre.

 

[lowsingle]

he won foty twice, and was nominated another time

he likes to fight exciting, if someone is willing to "fight" him, he beats the shit out of them, bocek, miller, guida, nate. if someone tries to pointfight him, he does it right back to them

the thomson fight was boring because after he hurt his hand, he was trying to lay and pray by clinging to bendos back and do nothing else

 

[Sirwastealot]

I haven't made up my mind yet officially, sorry. I find myself rooting against him though.

I made up my mind in this last fight. For now Bendo has been tagged "BORING!!"
