"Critiquing the Cage" Henderson vs Pettis: Pre-Fight Pick

 Tonight, Ben Henderson defends his UFC Lightweight Championship against Anthony Pettis in a sensational match up of MMA proportions. After defending his title successfully, three consecutive fights, Henderson will have an enormous task of fending off Pettis, who already has a win over him. Pettis has a fantastic striking game, while Henderson is most comfortable on the ground, submitting many of his opponents.  

Let's just look at this match up realistically: Pettis becomes new UFC Lightweight Champion by either submission or knockout. His striking skills are far more superior than Henderson's, having a length and height advantage, so if Pettis can get Henderson to engage with him, he could possibly land a knockout. Henderson, on the other hand, has to take Pettis down hard and fast in order to have a chance to retain his Championship.

This match will surely be action packed, and we will see who comes out on top.
