The game has passed up his bland style,he isn't diverse enough or strong enough in one aspect to beat the top top guys.Sorry but I don't agree,nor was "prime" Benson which is about the same fighter as now just got his style exposed but yeah probably lost a step in drive too.Guy hadn't improved much since probably just after WEC either.
Benson got outwrestled and should have lost to Josh Thomson iirc and should have lost to Edgar,many think Melendez.When it comes to Sherdog it's always someone not in the org that would take out the champ.Askren,Mousasi,Benson bla bla bla...
On a side note I was thinking about watching Uncommon Valor just the other day,it's been forever.
