At UFC 157, Ronda Rousey's first defense of the women's bantamweight belt against Liz Carmouche is the main event. It's the only title fight on the card, and title fights getting main event status is a rule the UFC doesn't often break.
That didn't sit well with Dan Henderson's camp. He is fighting Lyoto Machida on the same card, and doesn't like being the second biggest name on the card. Gus Pugliese, Henderson's striking coach, told this to Gracie Magazine:
“Where I come from, there’s a pecking order for anything in life,” he said. “I believe in paying dues. In this particular case, ‘Hendo’ and Machida paid their dues a long time ago. For someone new to come in and have a free ride just seems unfair to them and the whole sport they helped build.”

Yahoo's got A LOT of bad writers. Remember the guy who writes for the NFL and he reported on the Beijing Games and he'd post articles on how China's wins aren't as impressive as the Americans and how the Americans should be the real champions and ****. The whole Shutdown Corner is bad in general, Doug Farrar's the best writer and he is ridiculously average.
Or how about the dreadful duo of Greg Wyshenski and Sean Leahy? I like Wysh but he posts useless things and Leahy is the most biased journalist in hockey today.
Then again, Maggie Hendricks is pretty awful.

"haters can say whatever, but Hendo is a 42 year old mma legend. He has, possibly the most illustrious legacy of anyone in mma (opponents faced). hes faced the who's who, and beaten the who's who, and now he get bumped down by some obnoxious girl who is 6-0. I agree with Hendo. Its disrespectful.'
You forgot to add: "gotten gift decisions against the who's who"
And change Legacy to career because he won't leave behind a legacy that isn't marred by controversy because of BS decisions and TRT.
He's no doubt a great fighter and you HAVE to respect him for his desire to fight anyone but his fans put him on a undeserved pedestal.
