    Both just won with impressive knockout in their last fight. Henderson KO Bisping and Marquardt TKO Maia.

    yea i like henderson too. I think he could give silva a better fight than marquardt but that KO of maia is impressive.

    Mmmm why did you write TKO for Marquardt and KO for Hendo? I know i'm off topic, but I feel Marquardt's victory, is as much as a KO.

    I feel Marquardt should have his shot. He is way better than he was. He will lose, but it should be a good fight.

    Both are KO win but i felt it was a tko cuz he wasn't out like bisping. anyways i like henderson chance better of upsetting silva cuz he actually gave silva some problems during their first fight.

    I think they are very close right now and that's why I wouldn't mind them fighting

    Last 3 fights
    Hendo, ko bisping
    ud Franklin
    ud pahlares

    Nate ko-Maia
    ko Kampmann
    ko gouveia

    Both are deserving imo that's why a match between them makes sense.

    yea that's what i was thinking too. Since silva is fighting at 205 for now maybe marquardt-henderson can fight each other so we can get a # 1 contender. I would like to see silva fight one more at 205 before fighting for the title. Anderson Silva vs Thiago Silva would be nice.

    I don't mind Hendo vs Nate as long as Anderson has a good match up in the mean time

    Yeah in a perfect world we have Hendo vs Nate by the end of the year while Anderson takes on another big fight at 205 just to challenge himself. I dont wanna see Anderson rest like I have on other sites he doesnt need it he toyed with Forrest and was involved in the worst fight ever with Leites he doesnt need rest. To answer the question Hendo deserves it more his fight with Anderson was more competitve and he hasnt lost since he fought Silva while Marquardt has although it had controversy.

    I would chose Nate - Much more of a all rounded fighter than hendo. + 10yrs exp in MMA.

    Too be fair I think Hendo has got a bit of experience behind him aswell :patsch
    I think Hendo is hungry for this fight and would be more of a challenge to Silva

    They will get pretty much the same beatdown but they both deserve a rematch.

    Maybe they should fight Silva one after the other..Hendo softening up Silva first then Nate comes in to try and capitalize. Other than that, no chance.

    I want Nate to get the shot at anderson.... Hendo has alot of great fights he can make at 205. There will always be another time for Hendo. Push nate into deep waters and see if he can swim lol
