I think Benson has a better resume if we just go by paper
Cerrone x2
Varner
Edgar x2
Miller
Guida
Diaz
Melendez
Thomson
Masvidal
Freire
Tied for most title defenses in lw
Like half of those were bad decisions though
Name another lightweight , who is more tested ?!!
Why you mad baby? Eddie still didn't fight a GSP, Matt Hughes, Nick Diaz or Lyoto Machida.Not what was said shitlord.
He simply said Eddie only fought at LW which is wrong.
Go back to school and learn to read.
I don't think you realize how stupid that was. What we know objectively is that Eddie was finished by Chandler, and Chandler was beaten twice (finished once) by Will Brooks, who was a total flop in the UFC.
The idea that Chandler might match up well with Khabib is totally hypothetical. Chandler was outgrappled by Brooks, which makes me question how he'd do vs. Khabib, Lee or Ferguson. But we don't know. All we can go by are fights that actually happened.
For the record, I think Chandler's biggest challenge in the UFC might be the opponent known as USADA.
And yet still not all that rigorous of an effort put up by him.He looked like the stiffest competition after the McG Massacre.
He literally WENT stiff, with rigor mortis.
this morning being bored , I decided to wiki Eddie and man oh man he has maybe fought the stifffesf competition in mma ever !! Literally ever . Proably behind Jones. Belt in ever organization he’s fought in !!! Yes Conor crushed his fucking skull . But let’s be honest if u constantly fight the top 5 of the top 5 u are bound to run into a bad matchup. Cept Jon I think he is unbeatable . No other lightweight has been thru the gauntlet like him
Benson and Pettis have fought just as many elite fighters as Eddie has... Maybe more.Hendo and Nog especially stand among the GOATS. I put Nog above GSP and some would dare put him above Anderson for being in a much tougher weight class. You actually helped TS case for Alvarez as LW GOAT by listing the names. The only guys on par or above Eddie are Penn and Gomi. I'm not putting Bendo or Pettis in his league, and certainly not chronically injured non top 5 fighting Khabib.
Not at all. Pettis doesn't have the same number of quality wins. You could make a case for Bendo, but he fought a lot of boring decisions, and more than a few of his wins were controversial. Eddie's Bellator career was something really special. His UFC run just puts him over the top, head and shoulders above Pettis and Bendo who have long since become irrelevant.Benson and Pettis have fought just as many elite fighters as Eddie has... Maybe more.
And look what Conor did to him going up in weight.
Fuck, Conor is awesome.
