I like both Hendo and DC, a lot. But I don't like this fight at all. Makes me nervous for Dan. I guess it is a step up from Calvacante for DC, and Hendo wants to stay active.

to ba fair LHW division si not exactly the deepest in the UFC Gustafsson is locked for the title, so is Glover, Rashad is out for now, Shougun just lost, Machida dropped to MW, there´s only Davis and Bader left inside top 10 (Chael in No 8 at LHW is a joke) for **** sake Jimi Manuwa is in the top 10, LHW is just as bad as the HW division if not worse because everybody is dropping to 185 aside from OSP the LHW prospects are Cummins and Latifi.

I really wish Drysdale hadn't pulled out of a UFC fight, then was popped on a random piss test before his next scheduled fight. He'd turned in his TUE for TRT but the NSAC hadn't said yes yet. Cut to last month, he was getting all his TRT paperwork ready for his TUE and now TRT TUE's are history. So he has to stop the treatments, let his body acclimate, and then put in a training camp and debut (barring more unforeseen things).
He isn''t suspended and the UFC didn't cut him. All told though, it'll likely be near a 2 year layoff before his debut. He subbed Linderman a year ago from now, and he's at least a half year from a fight.

If the UFC would of tried to squeeze this fight into the UFC 173 card to help pad that PPV card, that would of been much better keeping for the LHW title fight timeline.

Both guys are similar in height/reach and wrestling background with Hendo being an Olympian. I think this can actually turn out to be a pretty good fight while other fights work themselves out and Gustafsson most likely earns himself another title shot. Never count Hendo out, but I do think Cormier's training and youth will make the difference here.

Shogun looked AMAZING, he was fighting at a very high level. He looked like the Shogun who won the UFC title to be quite honest.
The problem with fighting Hendo is that even if he touches you once, it's more than enough. Hendo used a takedown shot to make Shogun drop his hands to defend it and then he came up, turned Shogun and hit him with the Hendo bomb. That isn't a case of Shogun being old and battered up, it was just Hendo using an EXCELLENT technique to knock Shogun down.
The shame is that Hendo probably did it accidentally to be quite honest, this isn't a technical renaissance for the man. He is still, in my eyes, one of the worst strikers in the UFC today.
