What would it take for Bendo to get another shot?

[ShagginTurtles]

@ the LW title?

He has 2 losses now to Pettis.. It's hard to warrant a 3rd but what would it take?

I think if he won his next 2 fights or had a brutal finish in his next fight

 

[Dionysian]

Hard to tell without knowing the future of the other contenders. If it somehow became a ghost-town he'd of course be more likely with a few decent wins, but that doesn't appear to be the case. To the OP though, I think he does get a little more leverage because the loss happened in the WEC. Which puts him in Rampage/Wand territory of getting a rematch despite losing twice. That has never happened in the UFC-only universe right? Or am I forgetting one?

 

[DetachedOrchid]

2-3 dominate performances and some good old fashion trash talking and hyping by zuffa.

 

[funksoulbrother]

knock out
ben rothwell
dan henderson
chris leben
mike pierce
kj noons

[scrap style**]

7 straight wins

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Pettis would have to lose the belt first

 

[Sakurabas Ear]

knock out
ben rothwell
dan henderson
chris leben
mike pierce
kj noons

This makes so little sense it might just work..

 

[bdubbs822]

Easier if Grant beats Pettis, if Pettis stays champ for awhile, tough to say. Hopefully some finishes.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

A nice long comeback trail, LW being so competitive all he has to do is wait for the new champ to lose.

 

[beephin]

He would have to turn into the Chael Sonnen of LW.

 

[BORCAT]

I think he deserves an immediate rematch.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

hopefuly nothing i dont ever want to see him on top again

 

[Dionysian]

Penn Edgar

I said who got a rematch after going 0-2 to the person in the UFC though. That was 1-0-1

I don't think it has happened yet, but I'm probably forgetting something from 10 years ago or so.

 

[Tactitus]

Benson is going to need someone to take Pettis out for him before he gets a title shot.

I thought Dana has all but said he's not going to get another crack at Showtime any time soon.

 

[BayStyles]

2 wins in a row over top 7 or so imo


anybody from

maynard
tj grant
healy
khabib
melendez
thomson

etc

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

really depends on the line and his performances, potentially not too far away

 

[MikeLovesTacosX]

If he can get a fight with Thomson, Dos Anjos, or Khabib/Healy winner and beat them impressively, he could get one with just 1 more win.

 

[AwEsOmExRAMPAGE]

I think he deserves an immediate rematch.

No. Just No.

 

[funksoulbrother]

i think kj noons could outstrike pettis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but would get submitted
