Henderson for UFC ?!?

[Mattyhitman]

Hendo lost to the best guy in two divisions in his most recent UFC run, and the Rampage fight was very close. He was the number two guy in two divisions. That's pretty fucking phenomenal.

Then he beat two hot prospects, decisively, in Palhares and Bisping with a win over a former champ and top MW, Franklin, in between.

He left the UFC because Dana wouldn't give him his promised title shot after he KTFO'd Bisping (instead giving it to Belfort, who Hendo dominated less than two years prior), and StrikeForce gave him more money. You're making it sound like he went 0-3 and got bounced, ge left over a contract dispute as the rightful number one contender on a 3 fight streak over top competition.

*edited for grammar

This is what worries me more than anyhthing, the contract dispute he had with UFC at the time, now Zuffa own Strikeforce, are they gonna be willing to do business with a man who turned his back on them. Same thing happened with UFC and Fedor, now he's been dropped from their rosta. Of course his situation is different to Hendo's, at least Hendo has been winning.

Some good discussion points here

Hendo in my eye's can hang with all of them except Jones, Hendo would seriously get beat up. Anyone else he would give a good fight, and, as mentioned, IF that big right lands on anyone from 180-205 then it's gonna hurt, and they will be in trouble.

The Machida match up would be a good barometer for him at 205, or Leben at Middleweight. That I would like to see, In fact put him in with either Munoz or Leben, both would prove tough competition at MW.

Anyone thinking of going to UFC 138 at Birmingham ?

Dana said in an interview he has no problem with Hendo and he likes him. He said the move to Strikeforce was simply a business move for Hendo because they were offering more money. Now Zuffa own both companies im guessing the money will be similar therefore the better fights arfe in the UFC so i guess he will be back there.

Fedor on the other hand never wanted to fight in the UFC and from what i read and see they gave him great offers but his promotion declined. Now look at him his legacy has become questionable and he is on a 3 fight losing streak.

I'm planning on going to UFC 138 although the card isn't great because its not a PPV due to the time the main event should be one hell of a fight and Hathaway is ont he card. Also when Dan gets the win this weekend hopefully he will get on the card! OIOI!

Just checked and Jason Young is on the card against Omigawa that will be a great fight!

From what I understood, he made a demand/request for more money, and was told no thanks, we dont think your worth it, demanding something like £1m fight package

Did ya see the interview with Chael Sonnen talking about Fedor before the Hendo fight (On youtube somewhere), if not check it out, funny as fuck ! Really having a go at how shit Fedor is, claiming his fight record was 1-2, and asking who the fuck is this Fedor? what do we know about him ? all we know is that he has lost his last two fights ! Chael simply does not acknowledge anything Fedor has done pre-US fights !

I'm an avid watcher of Chael interviews! I've seen that and the one with Ariel is really good too when he talks about the nog brothers trying to feed a bus! Also there was a Q&A with him last friday you can see it on the UFC website.

I didn't think he made an offer he just declined there offer. Dana said he made a ridiculous offer to him that he would get more money than he has so far and he would go straight up against Brock for the title. He also said that Fedors team went there knowing they wouldn't take the deal which doesn't surprise me.
