How would a Prime Benson Henderson do in the Lightweight division today

[Kertol]

How would the Benson Henderson that schooled Nate Diaz do against the top Lightweights today.

1.conor McGregor- I think McGregor would KO him. His hands are just too good and powerful while Benson was hittable.

2.Tony Ferguson- would be a barnburner. I would give Tony the advantage on the feet but I doubt Tony would have been able to submit him. Benson easily could have taken him down but Tony would of scrambled and hit him with all kinds of elbows. Close exciting fight probably would end in a split decision victory for Benson.

3. Khabib Nurmagomedov- I think Khabib would do to him what he did to RDA. UD for Khabib.

4. Edson Barboza-Battle of the Taekwondo Guys. I would have to give the edge to Edson however. Better striker and has the TDD to get by I believe.

5.Eddie Alvarez-I think Benson would win a UD edging him out.

6. Justin Gaejthi- I think Benson would get a UD.

7. Porier-Benson UD

8.kevin lee-Benson via submission

nothing to add there you said it all

 

[VinceArch]

A prime Benson would either be champion or would be side by side with Khabib and Tony IMO. Only kryptonite seemed to be Anthony Pettis.

 

[SuperNerd]

Only thing I would change is edge to Benson over Barbosa. Maybe give him more respect vs. Connor too.

also 1-8 split decisions

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

He would split decision most of them

 

[JerichoMelenko]

He would be right on par with how well Pettis is doing.

 

[Franklin U.]

Honestly- he'd get his ass handed to him from most of division.I mean , he should've lost 2nd fight to Edgar and Frankie would get totally mollywhopped by most of top 10 in today's 155 division .

 

[tehMoose]

Bendo would beat Conor

 

[Sapphorous]

Really was wanting to see Benson vs Khabib down the line, but scratched that thought from my head the moment RDA tko'd him.

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

Would love to see Bendo come back to the UFC.

7. Porier-Benson UD

8.kevin lee-Benson via submission

His game was to clinch up and make both parties look bad and avoid all contact at all costs until he ends up leaving it to the judges and prays to god that he gets the split.

He would lose to everyone today.

Bendo would beat Conor

Fucking lol, Conor is the most talented striker Benspn wpuld face, he would get KO'd in 2.

Benson too hittable, and clearly back peddles, he'd get overwhelmed by Conor's pressure.

 

[Taric]

One of the best athletes in the history of the sport imo

 

[Mondo Freaks]

depends, does he have his toothpick or not?

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Jeez, "Prime Benson Henderson" is already a thing?

I'm getting old.

8.kevin lee-Benson via submission

He would split decision most of them

Depending on the judges he either beats all of them via split decision or loses against all.

 

[VVarhead]

He would beat most of them, including Conor.

He'd have trouble against Khabib and Tony, just like everyone else.

 

[HomeRun916]

Champion.

Not sure you've ever even watched him fight.
