I want to see both of these guys in the UFC.
wow great first 2 rounds.
henderson up 2-1. cowboy needs to stay out of that same pos ion somehow.
2 rounds a piece going into the final round. niether guy looks tired. what a fight! cowboy appears to have his swagger back.
holy . cerrone should get the decision.
How are Hendersons arms still attached!!
What the !!!
im sorry, im being non-bias here. cerrone should have won.
I like Ben though. Has some insane heart.
It's been great watching him in the mfc...but tonight he got far too much credit for those amazing escapes
Holy crap, what an amazing main event fight. I was mostly unfamiliar with both guys, but they brought it tonight and win/lose they deserve all the praise they get.
I was rooting for Henderson after the 2nd round, but Cerrone came back and I was rooting for both but wanted Henderson to win because his submission escapes were freakish and he seemed to push the fight most of the time. Cerrone knew at the end it probably wasn't going to end in his favor, but he deserves a re-match when Henderson unifies the belts.
I thought Ben won the first three rounds, and Cerrone, the last two. However, I think Donald couldve had a 10-8 on the 4th or 5th rounds. Good fight though, and I can see the decision.
Donald won the first round.. Put up subs like crazy the whole round. Ben won about the last 30-45 seconds of the first.
I concur. 48-47 cerrone. people were booing at the decision, then again they booed at every stalled action.

I was there last night, and man the crowd was booing like there was no tomorrow.
have any pictures?
nope sorry guy, ill say this to the casual fan the wec was a let down, but if your a hardcore fan it was a great show.
Well, anyway...this decision is nowhere near as rediculous as the Bisping-Hamill decision.
Pictures of the boooing?
Ha Cerrone thinks Ben won too...Probably just being nice but here are a few quotes from him.
- Donald Cerrone spoke after last night's WEC 43 event, here are some highlights…
On Who Won The Fight: "I think [Henderson] won the fight. Some people will say it might have gone the other way, but he definitely won the fight."
On Trapping Henderson In Submissions: "The guillotine, I felt him gargling one time," Cerrone said. "But that son of a just kept holding on. Then one time I felt like he was knocked out on top of me. I was looking at the ref like, 'What?' But [Henderson] just kept coming around."
Giving Henderson His Respect: "Ben is a of a fighter," Cerrone said. "A couple of spots I thought I had him, but he just kept going. I got karate chopped in my throat in the first round, but no excuses. I take my hat off to the guy. He did what he had to do, and , it was a great fight. I'm ready to do it again anytime he's ready."

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but when he was complaining to the ref when Ben was on top, Cerrone thought he was out. It's when Ben was standing in his guard and then Cerrone was throwing punches from the bottom that were rocking him. He looked out when he fell to his chest, but was able to spin and hold on. I forgot to record it before I left to go to the arena, so I haven't gone back and watched it.
I saw that on the replay, and I thought it might have been an illegal blow since it didn't look like anything happened that I could see from the angles. The commentators played it back and weren't sure what was wrong either, but Cerrone was definitely sure something happened cuz he was waving for a good couple of seconds trying to get the ref's attention.
