Thinking they might set up Franklin vs. Munoz for his retirement fight. Makes sense. Munoz just released a statement today saying he's basically treading water looking for a fight, like Phil Davis.

Rua should have won the 1st time, but it's okay. He'll knock Henderson into retirement this time.

Guaranteed I will watch this, but I believe Shogun should be fighting Rashad the greatest athletic fighter in the UFC today.

Prediction: wrong Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

The first fight was sort of just a super sloppy brawl. It waw fun, exciting and all but no fight of the year. The rematch seems.pointless.

I hope it doesn't happen, both favorites of mine.

Would pick Rua if the fight happens though. Would rather see Hendo vs Lil Nog rematch

Then maybe Shogun vs Sonnen rematch so Shogun can get his revenge.

I'm sure it will most likely happen and Dana will be praying that Shogun wins so he can cut Hendo.

@AllHailKrull, if this fight is happening it means the UFC have just cut a new deal with Hendo ... why would they sign another deal with him if they wanted to cut him so badly?

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Decision  

That's right his contract ran out. I'm pretty sure someone else renewed their contract before but lost their next fight and got cut though.

Maybe, I still think they can milk Hendo's name a bit even if he loses ... I guess it depends on how well he performs ... if he looks 43 years old again (which he has in his last 3 fights) then maybe ... I think he's going to have a few legend vs. legend (Wand, Franklin, etc...) fights to finish off, win or lose.

element knows

gonna give my break down since this is two fighters i give a **** about as always i am thinking long term

tho i dont think this fight will be as good as the 1st fight i think it will still be a good one .
i think dan hendersons just about done he might have a few good fights left in him but i cannot see him fighting for any ufc title  (even if he wins this fight ) which i do not think he will

hendos body has been showing age the past two year his back isnt as thickly musceled and the same is said for his whole frame . i think shoguns training hard for this fight to try make his last title run and if he wins this fight and his next one he may have the ufc hyping a title fight

but what shogun will show up is also a major factor in this fight hendo is always a gamer and shows up to fight and like shogun he to is trying to make a last title run

i would give this fight to shogun and im even going to go out on a limb and say by knockout . i think hendos got a chance but i just think he has not got alot left in him :/ not hating in any way im just saying my view
