Dan Henderson vs Rashad Evans! Why is this fight never talked about? Both of these guys want Jon Jones, and both deserve a shot at Jon Jones, but lets see them fight eachother first! I think this is the most intriguing fight at the weightclass. BTW I have Hendo by 2nd Round TKO. Another fight I want to see is Shogun vs Evans :deal
Nah. They've both earned a title shot - let them both face Jones. I know the UFC is hoping to make Evans vs Jones ASAP but personally they should just announce Jones vs Henderson now and let Evans face the winner.
to be real ive never thought of that fight. I would love to see it, but they are both probly gunna get jones, then after that they should scrap...that is if one of them dosent win the title.
Hendo would ****ing annihilate Rashad. That wouldn't even be a close fight, Hendo KO1. The very first time Hendo clips him, it's over. H-bomb vs Glass Jaw = Immediate Stankyleggization. :deal
If Hendo goes without holding the ufc strap in his career im going to be alittle dissapointed..What a fighter...
Its another interesting fight @205 , and if Davis beats Evans , its a real possibility depending on if Rashad gets a lengthy medical suspension or not . Its one of many excellent fights in the division but you have to grant Rashad Evans his title shot if he beats Davis , and vice versa , if Davis beats Evans , well he's just beat the man who was considered the man , underneath the champ " Jon Jones " Personally id like to see Henderson Shogun 2 headline a Brazilian card in the near future
I don't want to see this fight for the simple reason, I don't want either of those guys to lose right now. I'd like to see either of them fight Rashad. I'd like to see Shogun/Rampage II, that would be sick! Hendo vs Machida. So many good fights at LHW, like was stated above. But for me, the most intriguing one is Hendo vs Rashad because I too think Hendo would knock him out. :deal
Any of the top level fighters @205 are capable of taking Rashad out , the guy's chinny :deal , but for me stylistically it doesnt make the mouth water , i dont think there can be a real loser from Shogun / Hendo 2 bearing in mind how the first fight went down can there ??? I really like that fight (Henderson Shogun 2) , i think its a classic case of 2 of the divisions best fighters in a very close decision and both having there moments in a back and forth fight , for me it has to happen
Hendo is 42yrold...He aint going to want to waste time with another shogun fight.All a matter of timing...And really Hendo is looking for that one last shot at either Jones or Silva...He has mentioned this a few times..
True but if anything the UFC likes to " keep it real " excuse the terrible pun , and Henderson against Silva or Jones (especially) isnt keeping it real , because he will be demolished :deal
Why bother doubting Dan Henderson ? Seriously I mean why do people continue to count out the same guy over and over ? Im sure very few people predicted him to win a tournament at Heavyweight in Rings that included him beating Big Nog. I remember very few picking him to defeat Wanderlei Silva in the rematch and what happened ? Brutal KO and another belt. Many picked Feijao to give Hendo his first KO loss well the opposite happened and agian another belt. Hendo was supposed to have no shot vs Fedor the ATG Heavyweight and yet he proved folks wrong in that one too. With experience and toughness like Hendo hes always in the fight. Then he has that H-Bomb that can literally bail him out of tough situations in a fight.
All of the above very much agree'd , but Silva and Jones (specially Jones) are on a whole other stratosphere than Henderson " TODAY " and you need more than Henderson has got to even dent the likes of Jones let alone beat him Silva 2 , well ................. i suppose thats a semi interesting fight but a) he'll need to drop back to 85 and b) Belfort and Sonnen are circling below before he would be considered , he'd need a solid win @85 before getting another crack at him , im not sure he's willing to drop back there is he ??? Even if he does , he loses badly to Silva for me
I dont think Hendo will go back to 185 he just doesnt seem to recover well from the cut anymore and his energy seems lower IMO. I agree Silva and Jones beat him and probably badly but you just cant count him out. Hendo will risk it all to land that right hand and IF it lands we know it can do some destructive things. That right hand has been on a roll here recently KO Bisping, nearly KOed Shields with it, KOed Babalu, KOed Fedor and Feijao with it and nearly stopped Shogun with it too. That thing can stop anyone.
