I'm more interested in the Sonnen rematch, but I don't want to wait forever for it.  I would accept Hendo.

ARRRGGGG Thats almost as hard of a question as bj vs condit!!  I Have much more love for hendo but Chael did a lot better against silva.  What about one after the other, flipping a coin for who starts?

I agree with what Gregory said, I'm more interested in the Sonnen rematch but if it takes to long I won't complain if Hendo is next.

My answer. I'd like to see how things work out this time around if they fought. I think Anderson would TKO or Submit Sonnen though. Chael's pitter patter punches wouldn't affect Silva.
Hendo on the other hand if he's in full guard and lands bombs he could put Silva away. 
Still I'd want to see Sonnen/Silva.

I think Chael has a better chance of beating Silva, but I think he will fall short once again. I dont see him dominating Silva like that twice. Since Chael is scheduled to fight Stann already they should just give Hendo the shot now though. And then they can give the winner of the Sonnen v Stann fight a title shot after.

I'd rather see Hendo get another shot before Sonnen.

Like BodyModifier said, Sonnen will take Silva down & hit him with love taps. If Hendo takes Silva down & drops that right hand on him, it could end Silva's reign.

Hendo had his chance at Silva and got tapped out, nobody is knocking Anderson out, the guy deflects punches with his face. Chael didn't hurt him either, the guy was fine being interviewed after, smiling his tits off. As geez' says Hendo/ Sonnen is a much better prospect.

i would say sonnen because thats his natual weight class where as hendo looks way better at LHW i think hendo can beat jones and chael can beat anderson

Hendo will mosre then likely never drop back down to 185. Its a small cut but thats a pretty taxing move on an older body. However he could end up fighting either of them at 205. The outcome vs Silva would be the same as there first fight but faster since anderson would be carrying around more natural weight. If he fought Sonnen at 205 i think Henderson would be on the tail end of a decision unless he landed his right hand and dropped him and swarmed like he does. I don't ever see these fights happening but I'm not Joe Silva so who knows.

Can't Dana just make Silva fight them both in the same night? That way everyone wins.

I'd prefer Sonnen if he beats Stann.  If Sonnen loses, Hendo is a great replacement.

@t0rch, 10 round fight sonnen and hendo alternating rounds.  If one gets finished the other comes in.
