Dan Henderson vs Roy Nelson in April?

machida needs a cupcake fight

 

**** fight with no relevance. If Roy drops to 205 to campaign then yes. If Hendo wants to really campaign at HW then yes. However it looks like an interim fight for both. Nelson needs to drop down a level and beat up Christian Moorecraft or someone like that. Hendo needs a relevant fight at 185 or 205 depending onw hat he wants to do.

 

I see your point , but i dont see Dana / Silva / UFC giving Henderson a HW fight

This has been an element of Dan's problem in the UFC , he will not be allowed to pick and choose his opponents and he aired open views of being pissed off when he had to fight Palhares , and left not long after , now he doesnt think enyone at 205 is worthy ??? , well i can reel off 3 right now , momentum and form not withstanding , because its somewhat irrelevant

If he does however , Roy Nelson ticks every single box for potential opponents

 

The only guy I could think of that is free is Stephen Bonnar. Other than that a rematch with Shogun? Personally though I think he had the right idea. Take the time off and wait to see what happens in April.

 

Hendo is at an age where it doesn't serve him well to be going through the rigours of training/fighting for nothing. Wait and if Rashad wins he could get that title, if Jones wins then he still probably gets that fight given that all the fighters around Hendos ranking have lost.

Gustaffason has been put in a main event (albeit on Fuel) vs Lil Nog who is coming off of his own devastating win. I think Gustaffason is the next fighter in line for Jones after Evans and HEndo.

 

That would be a very exciting fight for sure... but I think a Hendo-Shogun rematch is no1 priority... for multiple reasons.

 

hendo vs lesnar

 

hendo all daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

 

Let Hendo and Shogun fight again after Hendo loses to Jones and after Shogun recovers from his knee surgery.
