7:00 pm
>> joe: see how josh is hooking that arm? he's hooking that arm to give himself another option. if he can separate that arm, he may switch to the armbar. it's hard to do when you have the body triangle locked on. now josh is forced to carry his own weight and let it go. he doesn't want to wear his legs out. this is a five-round fight. very crafty to do that. >> mike: mike goldberg, joe rogan. this is our main event of the evening, the former ufc and wec lightweight champion. josh thomson, the former strikeforce lightweight champion in the black trunks. a great night of fights. and this is our headline event. here at the fox ufc saturday. first round both men had submission attempts.
7:01 pm
this fight is scheduled for five five-minute rounds. henderson pushes forward, the clench. >> joe: the body shot here. >> joe: that's the nice kick to the calf. they're both doing it now. that low kick followed by the big punches. that exchange there by both fighters. >> mike: we talked about that, joe. josh thomson is an outstanding striker, comes from all kinds of different angles. >> joe: he's really crafty and unpredictable. he also likes to use that low kick and do it with a trip as well.
7:02 pm
and he caught that kick again. let's see if he can complete it this time. benson just has amazing balance. >> mike: unbelievable. >> joe: to have a guy yanking on your leg like that and still be able to maintain your balance.
7:03 pm
>> mike: in the corner of josh thomson. two good rounds in the books. the third round here. nice superman punch connects. henderson now. benson on the attack here. josh on his back. josh in full guard here. excellent grappling by both fighters. benson has josh's back now.
7:04 pm
josh stands up. got to separate the hands. josh may have a problem with his right hand, mike. >> mike: in the corner he mentioned something, joe. >> joe: i think he said his hand is broken. >> mike: i do, too. >> joe: something with the way he's grappling, not using his right hand as much. >> mike: nice elbow. >> joe: he did say it. he said my hand is broken. so his right hand is broken. so let's see how he adjusts. >> mike: one fight er had two broken hands and just elbowed his opponent. that changes in the grappling. >> joe: he still threw the right hand right there. that's why his corner is saying let the kicks go.
7:05 pm
this changes everything. it certainly changes the grappling. without that right hand, he can't make a proper grip, and he can't defend him seven the same way. >> mike: it almost affects the grappling more, doesn't it, joe? >> joe: you can throw kicks and elbows. it certainly affects everything. the only thing it doesn't affect are kicks. hasn't seemed to affect his will yet. in the clinch position with henderson here almost at the midway point of the fight. the elbow. still right there ready to go toe to toe.
7:06 pm
he was unable to hold on to it because of his hand probably. >> joe: right. meanwhile, benson the takedown. very strong in this round. josh still trying for the takedown. he's not going to be able to clap his hands together right now. henderson trying to overpower him here. >> mike: his right hand is real loose now, joe. >> joe: nice, short elbow. johnson still throwing that punch, though. they are screaming for the kick. this is an incredibly distracting thing. and benson is really taking over in this round. 90 seconds remain in the third.
7:07 pm
>> joe: josh has to figure out something here to make an adjustment. he's obvious ly hurting. trying to take benson for a ride. and benson looking for the guillotine. josh still back here. the guy has giant legs. that's a big part of his strength. he trains with larry fitzgerald of the arizona cardinals. talk about a great athlete. beautiful trip by josh. but look at this. now benson has his legs and josh is separated. a kick to the body. but he fell. benson is on top.
7:08 pm
benson didn't give him any space there. final seconds of round number three. good position for the former ufc champ ion. josh spun out. his hand is really hurting. he made a big grimace as he pushed off with it on the ground. switches his stance. going to throw maybe a big left.
7:09 pm
>> mike: let's take you back and listen into the corner of josh thomson after round two. >> my hand is hurting. >> i know. >> it's broken. >> try to run him down with with the punches if you can. >> mike: my hand is hurting. my hand is broken. >> joe: it's pretty clear there's something wrong with it.
7:10 pm
they are calling for kicks. josh caught it. the hand, maybe just a thumb, nonetheless it has altered the impact greatly of thomson. it's altered his focus. beautiful kick by benson. >> mike: my hand is broken, i think it's my thumb. >> joe: josh on top here. championship round. and he's punching him with a broken hand. tonight is the tenth time that benson henderson has been scheduled for five rounds. he's 7-2 in five-round fights. tonight the fifth time josh thomson scheduled for a five-round fight. this is an awesome opportunity for josh on top here in half guard. got to free that left leg that's
7:11 pm
caught in between the leg of benson. that's where he can sweep from. benson, the way he has his leg set up, now benson is full guard. good submission control here. he has the left arm trapped. josh is actually in a bad position here with the leg of benson wrapped behind the neck. his left arm is trapped and benson can pretty much freely punch him in the face here, throw elbows. elbowing his arm. keep in mind he's trying to set up a triangle, mike. in the sport of mixed martial arts in the ufc there's always a chance, broken hand, broken thumb or not, josh thomson could pull something off. >> mike: well, so long as he's on the ground here like this
7:12 pm
he's controlling benson, he has a possibility to get a submission. now benson is getting up. this is going to be a problem for josh because he can't clasp his hands together properly. beautiful job. did he make it? yes. very nicely done but look at this. benson powering up. now josh trying to ride his back. can't do it. lands some short elbows. so unfortunate that such an injury occurs during a fight. we've seen it before, joe. are for josh thomson, so much is riding on tonight's matchup. >> joe: he especially for josh was set to fight anthony pettis before pettis was injured. nice knee to the side by benson. >> mike: under two left in the fourth.
7:13 pm
>> joe: another thing he does, rare technique, front kicks, slamming the ball of the foot into the calf. don't think that doesn't hurt, people at home. don't try it either. you will probably end up breaking your toes. have a bruised calf and the other guy three broken toes. the elbow on the break by benson. bob cooke screaming in the corner of josh thomson close out the round, close out the round. he's been with aka for a long time, since the 1990s. the old breed, the new breed. he's still a mainstay there at 35 years old. incredibly difficult to maintain your focus and not be disappointed when you've got something injured like that a. a huge opportunity for him.
7:14 pm
he's on fox and he has a broken wing. >> mike: but look at this. beautiful takedown. and he has his back. 45 seconds on the clock. body triangle again by josh. five takedowns for thomson. four for henderson. got him flattened out and going to try to stand here. josh trying to hook that leg. see how he's using his left league to keep him from doing this. this is the last thing he wanted. >> mike: the hair. >> joe: he's not doing that to be slick. he doesn't want the hair in his face. look at josh. final seconds of round four.
7:15 pm

7:17 pm
>> mike: nasty knee to the body. you could hear it. so hard for josh to do the things he's normally capable of doing inside the octagon. >> joe: and it doesn't help that benson is outstanding, fighting very well. the last time there was a setback, he came back with a vengeance and now he's looking to do the same thing once again. >> mike: also some excellent positioning by josh, unable to capitalize on it. >> joe: the step-in elbow there. >> mike: 3:30 remains in our main event on fox ufc saturday. >> joe: and josh trying to set something up here.
