I’m really kind of neutral on the matter. I support NC’s right to pass the law that they did, and I also support the spirit of the law.
I believe a state should be able to pass a law that it believes best serves its citizens. If a bunch of entertainers and sports organizations disagree with the law, screw ‘em, none of their business.
But I also believe another state should be able to pass a law that it believes best serves it citizens. if they think its best to let transgenders in, okay. Maybe that is the wrong decision to make, I’m not really sure, time will tell. I just don’t like the idea of outside forces dictating to people in a state hey you gotta do it like this or you’re a pariah.
Far as Benson goes, yep I saw it, the fight blew my mind.
I used to hate Benson. I though he was a boring decision fighter who always won a decision against fighters who I hoped would beat him.
But then after watching him in a number of fights, especially after he lost his belt, I began to see the heart the man has. That guys wings he has tattooed on his back have meaning. He is really something special. I have become a Smooth fan.
So I was hoping to see him win last night, but Dear God, he really picked one heck of a tough opponent.
That Russian totally outclassed Benson skill wise and physically. Just too big, too strong, too fast, and too good.
Nonetheless, Benson’s heart was right there to see. Can’t believe he went 5 rounds with the champ. That was impressive, even though he lost. I enjoyed watching.
I think Benson is going to be headed to lightweight. No way he can earn that WW title from the Russian I don’t think.

Exactly- he reminds me a bit of Diaz- tremendous heart- (although diaz was more of a maDMan lol)

It was a pretty good fight- and i think lots of fans appreciated his heart in the match

He woudl defiantely need to get more aggressive- in the 4’th round I think it was, Ben began more agressive, and was scorign better- but then got too hesitant again, and htat’s when the Russian capitalized
When Ben did that kick toward the head while he was on the ground, even the russian appreciated the skill of that lol- gave him a high five- that was cool to see-
