Ben Henderson wants Nate Diaz fight

Bendo vs. Diaz would be sick, I wonder if Ben's freakish sub resistance would be able to withstand Nate's JJ.

I think Ben can get out of a Diaz submission. Bocek is just as big and has submissions on par with Diaz and he couldn't finish even a tightly locked sub on Bendo. Miller had that guillotine from the back/side against the cage and couldn't finish it. Bendo just cannot be choked out and chokes are Nate's specialty.

Looks like he has a submission loss on his record, Technical Submission (anaconda choke), which usually means the fighter went to sleep. On the other hand,a man with 12 fights in the UFC(heading into the fight) who has never been submitted was tapping out over the weekend. I'm just saying, it's possible. Just not likely lol

Oh I didn't say it's impossible, I'm just saying Bendo has proven himself a legit supernatural escape artist when it comes to chokes of pretty much every variety in the last three years. I actually sort of called Diaz submitting Miller in My predictions. I said if someone did finish someone it would have been by submission because of how slick the submissions of each guy are. But Henderson has the ability to wrestle Nate up without leaving himself open for a bunch of submissions. He's become very adept at brutalizing people in the clinch up against the fence, and Bensons top control game is so stifling because he's supremely confident in his ability to escape submissions that if he does take Nate down he might not give many opportunities to go for anything.
