Edgar -125 vs. Henderson

All he does is win and he has some advantages in this fight against Henderson including his speed and endurance. The advantage that Henderson has is on the ground as he is a better wrestler than Edgar. This fight will come down to Edgar’s takedown defense. If he keeps this fight off the mat for the most part he wins.
