that's a tough one. both fighters has improved a lot since their last meeting. I like both guys. i'm ok either way. pettis would be an awesome champ. but out of the two, the guy who has a better chance at keeping the belt longer is Henderson due to his wrestling.
pettis is one of the best stand up strikers and his only weakness is wrestling but at the same time, he has a sick and active guard.
the winner is the one who can implement his game plan. Henderson with the wrestling, or pettis by keeping it standing. one loses if they can't take the fight where their strength is
bottom line for me, i'm on the fence. hard to choose a winner. but given the fact that benson has fought better competition and he has the championship experience, I guess i'd lean toward Henderson slightly
