Coming into his UFC 144 encounter against UFC Lightweight Champion Frank Edgar, Ben Henderson believes he holds advantages in several areas of fighting. One of these is in boxing, one of Edgar's perceived strengths.
"I think I can hold an advantage in a lot of places, where ever I take it," Henderson told MMAWeekly.com. "I think my boxing's a little bit better than his. I haven't really showcased that in a fight yet in the Octagon. I think my kickboxing is better, I think my Muay Thai is better, I think my wrestling is better, I think my jiu-jitsu is better. If I can put it all together and perform well when the lights are on and when it's time to actually perform, I think I definitely hold the edge."
Henderson is an excellent athlete. But Edgar made MMA legend BJ Penn look less than adequate on two separate occasions due to his pugilistic skills. Ask Gray Maynard- the guy has stick and move written all over him.
A better boxer? Hmmmm......don't know about that one.
