Benson was an "ok" fighter imo who was lucky to a degree in some of his fights
The only thing exciting about a Bendo fight is you never knew how the judges were going to score it, other than it being a split decision. He had a boring, yet effective wall n stall strategy that got him a long way.
To his defense, he was extremely durable and had really good cardio. He was strong for 155 and tough as leather but he wasn't exactly a pleasure to watch circa 5 years ago when he was headlining a ton of UFN cards.
Just for the record, I thought he lost to Edgar in the rematch, lost to Gil, beat Cerrone in the trilogy, beat Thomson, and thought the Michael Chandler fight should've been a unanimous decision for Chandler and was lucky Patricio Pitbull injured his leg or he would have lost that one too.
