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.

When you look at the time intervals and remember that champions fight less often, there is no excuse for not making the winner of DC vs Hendo fight Phil Davis after he wrestle****s Johnson.

@Anik Just saw your post.

Shogun didn't look amazing, he looked good in comparison to what we've seen of him in the last couple of years, but far, FAR from amazing.
2005 Shogun was amazing and 2009 Shogun was second best Shogun ever. This Shogun (5.0) is not near as good as he once was. He played it well and was winning the fight, but he looked slow, he kept his hands low low for most of the fight and he looked like he was starting to gas.

Shogun is one of my favorite fighters of all time and I don't like Hendo at all, watching that fight hurt, but it is what it is.

So this is actually happening? No April fools? Wow, they must really want to save DC's place in line. Too strong, too fast, too much cardio (in comparison).

I guess Hendo's got nothing to lose though, it's now or never for him ... again.

Hendo can't beat explosive athlete's....Rashad, Anderson, Rampage.....He just can't do it. Cormier via dominance.

Well, Cormier is most likely going to dominate him. However, Dan Henderson can recover from pretty much anything and is always one punch away from winning any fight, and even if he is a shell of his former self, he can still land that unholy overhand.

EDIT: If you think about it, Dan Henderson's entire striking game are the H-Bomb, the set-ups for the H-Bomb and ****** up head thickness DNA.

Can someone kindly explain something to me:

Lil Nog beats Rashad, Hendo loses to Rashad - and Lil Nog gets passed over in favor of Hendo?

And it's not because Lil Nog isn't ready to fight again; two weeks ago, the UFC reportedly offered Rich Franklin a Lil Nog fight, but Rich turned it down because he's too busy starting up this supplement business.

This is only happening because the UFC thinks DC will win. They want him to fight Jones. They have already trash talked each other and the UFC thinks it will sell big time.

@Brancato, how 'bouts Lil' Nog actually make it to a fight before risking another co-main or main event, let alone #1 contender elimination bout on him, huh?

He's been scheduled for at least two fights since his win over Rashad and got injured in camp, I wouldn't waste the money to print the posters right now.

AnthonyBrancato Lil' Nog didn't get his opportunity because he is ALWAYS injured. Until he makes it to two fights in a row you won't be hearing about him in a number 1 contender's bout.

By the way, why didn't you mention Phil Davis? Phil is the one actually getting screwed here, not Lil' Nog.
