UFC 150 Live stream.Welcome to Watch 2012 Frankie Edgar vs Benson Henderson Live streaming Online UFC 150 HD TV coverage. Frankie Edgar vs Benson Henderson 2012 Live Stream UFC 150.Frankie Edgar vs Benson Henderson made waves in the WEC when he captured their lightweight title. All signs were pointing to him becoming the next great lightweight. Then he suffered a defeat at the hands of Anthony Pettis at WEC 53 and some in the MMA community thought that Henderson had reached his potential and just wouldn't attain greatness in the UFC.
“Denver is high altitude, man, and going to Vail just to train, trust me I didn’t want to.” Cerrone said on the UFC 150 media conference call. “Melvin and I trained a lot together with Greg. I kind of went away from Greg on this fight a little bit and just did my own thing. Not any reason other than I didn’t want Melvin to think that Greg was giving me all his secrets and whatnot.“This fight between Melvin and I is nothing but professional; it’s no personal beef. No nothing. I just went away, went up to Vail, got my conditioning in order and ready to go make some money.”
The two spent so much time cutting their teeth under the tutelage of Jackson, and still maintain a mutual admiration even after Guillard left to the Blackzilians.Come fight time though, Jackson will be in the ear of Cerrone. Cowboy just didn’t want his former teammate to think he used Jackson to dissect his entire game.“Oh no, he’s definitely going to be in my corner. I just haven’t been training with him like the last four weeks. There’s nothing, no beef or anything with me and Greg, other than obvious respect for Melvin and taking off and doing my own thing. I didn’t want him thinking that I’m not working the game plan.”
Joke was on them as Henderson reeled off some truly impressive wins in the octagon before getting a shot at Frankie Edgar's lightweight title. His victories over Jim Miller and Clay Guida were some of the best scraps of 2011 and truly showed that he was the number one contender. He faced Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 in Japan earlier this year and took a unanimous decision over the former champ. It was a decision that firmly cemented Henderson at the top of the lightweight mountain. But it wasn't always like that for him. "I didn't know that I would be the UFC champion. Did I intend on being the UFC champ? Yeah, absolutely. I didn't exactly see myself doing this as a full time job or career but I certainly intended for it when I started down this path."Henderson not only trains at the MMA Lab, he also is a part owner. He's one of the few fighters that truly doesn't allow himself to get distracted with the party lifestyle that so many have fallen victim to in the past. In fact, he's one of the most notorious gym rats in the entire sport. He doesn't just show up to the gym when he has a fight. He is in there every single day working to improve himself and all aspects of his game. This also allows him to stay within the boundaries of fight shape which so many others lose in-between bookings.
"I'm always in the gym, six hours a day. I'm in the gym all the time, six days a week. It's one of the reason why my training camps are a little bit shorter. My training camp is five weeks long because I only need four weeks to get into fighting shape," Henderson told Bleacher Report. "A lot of guys need to get back in shape, I'm in the gym all the time so I don't really lose my conditioning as much as other people."His fight with Edgar is a rematch from an absolute classic at UFC 144. Henderson came out victorious and captured the UFC lightweight title in the process. After spending so much time in the cage with Edgar, it's apparent that they know a lot about each other's nuances. But Henderson isn't anticipating the same fight. "Obviously it was a little bit different preparing for this fight. Pretty much every fight is the same. It's a fight so you just have to go in there and be prepared and have fun," Henderson said. "Having spent 25 minutes with him already, he's going to know some of my dance steps and I'm going to know some of his. So it's about who got better at what they do and who improved those dance steps."So I have a lot of roots up there in the MMA community. I also have buddies from college up there so yeah I'll feel just fine in Denver."Benson Henderson looks to defend his UFC lightweight title against Frankie Edgar at UFC 150 tonight on Pay Per View.

Mixed martial arts can be a cutthroat business when friendships are involved.Many times, friendships have been lost and egos have gotten the better of some of the sport's elite.Enter in Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard. The two lightweights were former training partners at Greg Jackson’s, and still are great friends heading into UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar II.Cerrone respects Guillard so much that he left Jackson’s to let him know that he’s not seeking an unfair advantage. The former WEC star wants an even playing field, so he moved his fight camp back to Vail, Colo., where he first started his MMA training.
