    The only knocks against Georges St. Pierre should be: the inability to properly apply those armbar's in his fight against Dan Hardy and the consistency he showed telegraphing the overhand haymakers he was throwing against Jake Shields.

    You could also add that he could have been a little more aggressive against Kosheck passed the 4th round...IMO he could have ended that fight...

    On top of that he could have used more kick....

    Benson does go to decisions, but he also has Finishes. Yea he goes decisions like everyone else. He has lately been on a decisoin stint, but they have been scraps. I love a finish like the next guy but hes in constant scraps. In the WEC he was the same way. But that was WEC, now hes the champ and he taking cautoin that he could loose the belt in 1 punch, like the Pettis fight, hes slowed down and turned into a much smarter fighter. But being call boring? Aint nobody got time for that

    But we does try the finish when the opponent is hurt.
