UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on August 11, 2012, at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.
Henderson defeated Edgar in the main event of UFC 144 on Feb. 26, 2012, winning the UFC lightweight title via unanimous decision.
The 155-pound elites put on a five-round affair that showed technical prowess and tremendous resolve.
It was a great fight. It wasn't an all-time great, but it was definitely worth the build-up and the money. Edgar and Henderson, as well as the rest of the performers, put on a more-than-modest show.
Henderson clearly won round one, peppering Edgar with solid leg kicks and getting the former champion into a tight guillotine over the final 20 seconds of the round. Edgar just as clearly won round two, dropping Henderson with a big right hand and then controlling him on the ground for much of the stanza.
Then things got a little tighter.
Round three was one of the closest rounds seen in a UFC championship in quite some time, with both men active but neither doing major damage. In rounds four and five, both fighters scored, with Edgar scoring with strikes off the breaks and also ducking many of Henderson's strikes and answering with counters. But Henderson's strikes landed more heavily.
In a bout that was very tightly contested, Henderson defeated Edgar again, this time via split decision.
Tony Weeks scored the bout 49-46 for Edgar, giving him the final four rounds. Mark Van Tine and Dave Hagen had it at 48-47 for Henderson, as both gave him rounds 1, 3, and 4.
Henderson (17-2), who had then won 14 of his past 15 fights, felt he earned the decision.
"You always have a concern whenever it goes to a decision," Henderson said. "Frankie's tough. We all know how tough Frankie is. ... They always bring it in rematches."
Though some also felt Edgar (14-3-1) earned the decision, he was faced with the reality that he's dropped back-to-back fights to the champion.
"It don't matter," Edgar said. "I thought I brought it to him. I don't know if I can watch that fight. It don't matter. I'm upset, man. What are you gonna do?"
Does anyone remember when Benson looked like he’d been in a fight? That guy never looks to be beat up.
This Frankie would beat chito and all the guys who recent beat him father time just catches up he's been fighting forever
Frankie is still a savage that’s the thing but idk if he can take the punishment anymore so his heart can continue but idk if his body can keep up
The wars against Maynard along with his fights against Max and Aldo really shortened his prime. He’s the most underrated fighter of all time.
This was the fight that pretty much popularized the calf kick.
For me, In this fight frankie edgar's win
Ben Henderson the great 😃👍 nw champion 🏆 that's right
4:30 that was awesome
49-46??? Wow. Good fight. Must’ve been an honor for both of them to share the battlefield with such masters of the art of fighting
Benson is no joke! To fight him you better come prepared!
the guy is .500 in bellator and hasnt looked great since athletic commissions started tougher drug testing
So edgar outstruck hendo, dropped him, landed the only two takedowns in the fight, and still did not win the fight?
I watched this fight live, frankie out landed Hendo by 2 strikes only . He clearly won 2 rds , 1rd could go either way. But as we all knw a debatable rd always goes to the champ. Hence, Hendo was handed the win. Only an Edgar fan would bitch about this decision.
@@cheetah2908 i'm not a fan of any of them, just saying, everyone has their opinions on who won in many occasions, and i still think edgar won
To me, there's a big difference between knocking someone down hurt, or unhurt. If you look at Benson during his knockdown, he wasn't hurt.
It could’ve gone either way and benson hurt frankie in the 5th when Frankie mouthpiece came out so he may have stole that round. This fight was similar to Henry vs Dj 2. Both made amazing adjustments and put on a good dight
some naive people dont believe the ufc fixes fights but wanderlie silva got it all on recording
Benson "The Split" Henderson
Benson is small brother of herb dean
Benson is a Mexican though
@@JLD5500 benson is korean and black
I thought the same
Hendo was a banger!! This is the third fight of his I’ve watched and they have all been exciting!! He was definitely not afraid to exchange!!
This was peak Frankie right here, this version of him vs the current top 5 Lightweights he would lose to everyone in the top 5.
Не проиграет он , он бил уже Оливеру, с однораундовым чендлером он спокойно расправился бы . Для дариуша он слишком быстрый и выносливый. С Махачевым конечно ему очень тяжело пришлось бы. Порье мог бы в партере разобрать,так же как и гейджи
You're out of your dang mind.
@@herbcanter2114 nope it’s true. Tell me who beats in the current top 5 and how.
Thank you for this nice editing too 👍
Edgar threw the hat like he got stolen his win but to get the champion belt as a challengers, you have to dominate the round to get 1 more point. This was pretty much even fight
So as a champion as long as you dont get finished or dominated you should get the win?
@@I_barely_knowPretty much. The champ will keep his belt
🤣 Looks like you are talking your self lol
False decision
Benson is a beast for sure. I think that his multiple split decision wins have shaped impressions
Sometimes a fight is a draw...
I think the fight was pretty even and Frankie has no quit in him. His pace is always consistent in every fight. Henderson is pretty similar with his pace and never shows fatigue. I’m a Frankie Edgar fan from back in the BJ Penn days so I always root for Frankie.
Back when the UFC didn’t have all those nut-huggers 😢 RIP to the golden days
4:30
Frankie won he got a knockdown and two takedown. He was aggressive through out the fight. He won according to today's standard.
Nah
Nah, I didn’t see a finish. Takedowns barely even count if you don’t use it. He never used it, not even for a few seconds of control. If it goes to the judges you can’t claim anyone won the fight, that’s just how it is. It could be damn near all one sided and obvious but if you don’t get the finish the judges may just hand you a loss. Especially by todays standards. Lol
Really?
Look at the size 😂 idk y both weight the same but Benson looks huge
Even the camera guy thought Frankie won
Close but Benson won. Head kick from the bottom! Incredible.
Won my arse he knew he lost that fight
Head kick from bottom? Damn he's beast
@@keithetheridge2164 có
These both guys really craxy
Edgar won it with the takedowns and the counter striking he slipped alot of strikes while delivering two of his own... damn his footwork was amazing.. really the main thing that gives a smaller fighter a good chance when striking... It was a closer fight than most but this is an example of why Judges should be more closely scrutinized and somehow more transparent with their scoring,...so a robbery like this doesn't happen. I like both fighters but I feel like sometimes Judges feel like a close title fight is a day off..just give it back to the champ..but that wasn't, imo, as close as most might think.
You gotta do more than the champion to win, I didn't see that happen.
A very good fight. Henderson was the aggressor for most of the fight. He deserved the win. Great job of officiating this fight.
Very good fight. Edgar won
henderson is legend ! i proud of you
Hace años me pareció un robo a Edgar, la veo ahora y me sigue pareciendo un robo
Claro Q fue un Gran Robo !
Es la primera vez que la veo y si creo.que ganó el.moreno . Además no tiene golpes en la.cara como.el.otro que terminó.sangrado
Much as I like Benson - I though Frankie was unlucky to lose. It was very close but I thought Frankie won the takedowns - while the striking was even.
My judging Round 1: 10-9 BH Round 2: 10-9 FE Round 3: 10-9 BH (Barely) Round 4: 10-9 FE Round 5: 10-9 FE 48-47 and NEW... Frankie Edgar...
Benson is like akuma with the hair and axe kick
My opinio, henderson is huge for this weight class, franky look small but held his own and did his job. Unfoetunately left it up to the judges
Bendo walks around at 175 while Frankie was 160
@@dylanpriest9756 yup, i would say thst about right
Benson is a beast one of my t5doa. I dont understand why people dont like him.
People love him! His gray Maynard trilogy is amazing
Benson is legit, but he hardly had that killer instinct. Now that he has grown older, he fights even slower.
Cause of his hair..
@@RahulKumar-qj7kg or maybe cause of the fucking toothpick he always got in his mouth while fighting🤣
Wow!!! Outrageous decision!!!
Not really man, very close fight
Cannot find this full fight anywhere
Fight pass
Love you bro❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
That wasnt a correct call . Ripp off for sure
Perhaps easy to see from a highlight reel composition, but that looked like highway robbery to me. I agree with Edgar's reaction
That tarzan voy looks like hes FIGHTING 🐝 BEES 😂
Juiced bendo was a menace
I don't know who that little kid was, but he almost beat up Benson.
Почему то пояс надели Другому бойцу! Судьи наверное ошиблись! Френки здесь хорошо выступил!
The challenger has to beat a Champ to get the strap.... Frankie failed.
Funny thing is an unclear decision is how Frankie won the belt in the first place lol
@@rpg23245 lol. Shhhh!
@Daniel Madison There's no way Frankie won that and even if you believe that, no way he won it 50-45. That's why they had an immediate rematch
Frankie Edgar even n that fight 100% no doubt in my mind!
Qué manera tonta de degradar el video con la insercion de subtítulos innecesarios en fondo negro.
Тот неловкий с, когда вспоминаешь бой Хендрсона и Диаза, где только Диаз был внизу... Но это то Фрэнки, не прокатит
Frankie has like five or six decisions debatable
i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
@Leroy Benjamin Try flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Santino Zechariah Yea, been watching on flixzone for since march myself :D
@Santino Zechariah Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!!
@Leroy Benjamin glad I could help =)
Un benson henderson que ha llegado a pelear en welter contra un frankie edgar que al día de hoy es top 5 en los pesos gallos
Edgar eating knees when ever he is coming in.
If it was a split decision it might not have been so contreversial
It was a split decision
imagine this guy holding toothpick inside his mouth during every fight. and keep it inside his mouth until the bout was end,. what's up with that!
Frankie won obviously. Horrible decision
I disagree!
It was clearly a draw.
And still.... He stormed off before Bruce finish his routine
Good win
Benson got the home cooking points 😂
Every single time he kicks Frankie’s leg, he falls down. He has no technique of avoidance. Keep in mind this is early days of MMA. This mattered a lot.
Henderson was really good fighter, he's just less of power
I think he had huge power in his kicks. He was just unfortunate to not get many KOs or TKOs. It wasn't for lack of trying I'm sure.
Вот это ностаяши мужской бой супер класс
Рубились жёстко,оба бойца достойные.
Injusta la decisión de los jueces
Both landing punches, kicking, but takedowns for edgar.. This is shit
Benson Henderson won that one for sure ❗
전사!!헨더슨!!👍
Top 👍👍
Edgar was such an animal in his prime.. never forget the epic asswhoopin he put on yair..
Too much editing, impossible to watch.
Evidently the judges thought so too.
Wooo!
understand that to take a championship belt. It must be decisive and unanimous, not close.
Hell no it shouldn't be that way. It is that way cause of shit judging. If Frankie wins 48 - 47, then he should still win.
Fuck the ufc for spreading this narrative to justify the the shit decisions by the judges
I was a big fan of frankie. But he was right. It is and it should be like that.
Bullshit. You're making up your own rules. The champion shouldn't have any sort of advantage.
Google / youtube, interfere, harass, & bullies, ordinary people on line. I've got first hand experience of this for the past 4 month and counting.
I feel Edgar could break hendersons leg if he checked them 🤨
Frankie definitely won in my eyes
Frankie ✌️
Not to meaning if that 1st round would have lasted 10 seconds longer….it would have been a choke out TKO
Bad Decision. No better than Boxing.
자랑스런 한국인 핸더슨 ~비록 50% 의 피가 섞엿지만 본인이 자랑스런 한국인 어머니의 아들임을 내세우는 착한젊은이.생김세도 참 귀엽고 잘생기고..좋은경기를 할수있도록 항상 기도해줄께...
That’s what I always say
@@brettwerner1413 당신은 항상 그렇게 격려합니까? 오호 ~반갑습니다~미투~
김영호 whatever
Benson Henderson is the lion king of his opponent
good
Frankie was a two-knee fish. Drop hips stay on toes when benson tried to stand up in the last round
👍👍👍👍🖤🙏🙏🙏
Edgar ganó la pelea!!!
Back in the days when the mute button was essential because Rogan and that clueless Goldberg were it for the commentary.
Thought Edgar won it, but considering he got a blatant gift decision to win the title in the first place, I didn’t feel too bad for him.
Two of the best going at it, like both of them .lots of respect to them, prayers to amen amen amen
"Tony's" split in Frankie's favor sounds like a bullshit plot against Henderson, as the cameraman suspiciously pans away from a view of each other's faces and zooms in on Frankie, effectively hiding what must have been wild bewilderment in Henderson's face before we could view his initial response.
Leg kick
BH cold face
Edgar threw his hat mad asf 🤣 good fight and entertaining but again... when u are the challenger u better do everything u can to end the fight or clearly not hope but KNOW for a fact that your winning by landing more blows leg kicks and punches secure a takedown or 2 and being the aggressor chasing him show the judges u want it and he's running from the fight 😉🤙🏾
Nah, that whole "you gotta REALLY beat the champ to get the belt" thing is not a rule or anything, it's just an excuse people give when they're fans of a champ and that champ loses but doesn't get finished; i need to watch this match full again, not just highlights, but it did look a bit iffy
None of you have obviously been in a fist fight before. Falling over is not a knock down. Dude has been a wrestler since middle school and even though he is shorter, still weighed 15 pounds more. The fact is that he got out classed….Ben even head kicked him in the head….while laying on the floor. End of story. This is a professional sport, not mmmm but he did this?? And he threw a lot of this?? No. Benson made this look like mortal kombat on easy
What fight was the 49 - 46 guy watching?
Eso fue tranpa
Listen when you're the champ you get benefits. One of them being you have to beat him, to take his belt. I love frankie....one of the biggest hearts and toughest chins in the game. But he just fought a good fight with the champ. He didn't do enough to warrant the belt to be switched, simple. Same fight, frank the champ...benny goes home loosing.
Edgar had to better than that bcoz he is fighting the defending champ. No argument in this fight😎
Clearly 2nd round by edgar, and 4th round Benson had done nothing.. 5th round 50/50 and Benson take 1st round
Bendo vs hollaway
Frankie got robbed. Only the first judge, who scored it correctly in Frankie's favor, got it right.
