I wouldnt say bendos stand up is good. He got outclassed horribly against varner. Hes got good kicks, below average hands, good power, and a good chin. It's his threat of a takedown that makes his standup effective.

I think Pettis/Henderson was one of the most epic fights I have ever seen.
"Outclassed horribly"? C'mon. That's hyperbole at its finest. Yes, he was losing in the stand-up department. But Varner's stand-up is actually pretty good. His grappling game just isn't all that.
So what do you think of Bocek's stand-up skills? You must think they're like old-school Maia level.
I heart cock
I remember thinking that Bendo had shields level standup. Eventually he just gave up punching altogether and started desperately shooting takedowns. Varner is a stupid motherfucker sometimes. Bocek's standup is pretty bad too.
I loved the fight. Last fight ever in the WEC, for the championship, tied going into round 5, close up until the last minute THEN BOOM THE PETTIS KICK!
I was also excited as fuck because I had money on Pettis so it made it even better.
Worse than bendo, better than bocek. Probably like a C- or D+. Definitely not good
Same guy that got lit up by diego sanchez and Dos Anjos right? I don't think any1 thinks Clay Guida = above average standup.
Guida's striking isn't great, but D+ is a little harsh.
And I'd give Bendo's striking a solid B. And a B is a good grade. Who gets disappointed by a B?

Your mom gets an A.
At least she did last night.
I heart cock
inb4SPXasks"tell me who you think has A level striking?B level striking?"
And SPX retorts with something completely unrelated because he knows hes wrong.
There really aren't a lot of great strikers are lightweight.
A level might be Pettis, Guillard, Barboza. . .
B level is a whole bunch of motherfuckers, including Bendo.
Guida might be C level.
If you're below that then you're in King of the Cage or some other org. You're not in the UFC.
