I wish they could do a telecast version of this. This is how a TRUE professional athlete presents himself. I would love for the kids to see this kind of attitude, so they could understand good sportsmanship. I hate all the drama and crap. Fights should be about skill and heart.....leave everything else outside of the cage. I’m very proud of this. I wish they could do a telecast version of this.

That's more of an insult to Cerrone, especially when he has been avoiding him. Its like haha too bad you won't fight me again. What a loser. i hope Henderson Ko's this guy.

Exciting stuff. Varner is image conscious, a little insecure, and people like that can't handle being booed; it's as simple as that. I doubt this apology has its roots in his desire to make up with Cerrone, why would he be so desperate to do that? He got booed and had the piss ripped out of him at that WEC presser recently, the one with Mir and Torres, and I have a feeling that was the final straw for him, he decided to act. Decided to try get some fans back on his side. And judging by the comments on this site, it's worked. Easy as that! Someone should tell Lesnar. Oh no wait he doesn't give a f*ck.

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:17:50 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=17943#comment-129570 I'm not so sure I'll be gaining respect for Varner any time soon.. But, I suppose this is a step in the right direction.. As for Henderson/Varner, I'm with edub.. Henderson definitely has the tools to take out Varner: strong, smart wrestling, and a load of speed and heart.. But, his chin seems to be a problem.. We haven't seen him KO'd in the WEC yet, but we've certainly seen him hanging on by a thread at least twice now.. And with that said, I think Varner probably has the heaviest hands in the WEC's LW division right now.. So, as much as I would like to see Varner dethroned, I think we'll have to wait for the Cowboy and his chin of steel to get another shot..

Now lets see him back in the cage fighting. I think he lost the fight to cerrone but a bad decision was given by judges and cerrone sold an fake injury to go to the cards. I'm curious to see what happens when henderson has him in trouble. I've been a fan of been since I saw him live at MFC 17 when he won by guillotine choke. I think he has a good chance at beating Varner by Submission. His cardio is top notch as is his submission defence. No matter what should be a good fight.

It appears to me the two probably had a conversation face 2 face at the WEC event on saturday. Glad to see them hash things out. Good see Varner is back healthy again. I think Varner KO's Benson in the second or third. I really don't get the feeling from most of the people on here that Benson is gonna smash Varner. I think Varner is better in every part of the game, except toughness and submission defense.

From the press conferences held this week tho and especially the WEC fan Q &A at the weigh in, i've come round to varner's side or at the very least back to neutral and think it was just a case of 2 guys having a personality clash and cerrone being consumed by the fact the fight never went the distance. I thought this was clear to see in his build up towards henderson, and no matter how many times he said he wasnt looking past ben, it was blatantly obvious he was looking straight at varner and was probably a big factor into why he lost the fight, particularly his slow start. Show of class by the champ in my opinion.
