Lets say Hendo beats Little Nog and faces Shogun in quarter finals, and possibly Overeem in semi finals.

Who would be the favorite in either match up? We never saw Hendo vs Shogun in Pride or Hendo vs Overeem ever, I feel like the fans got robbed.

Ps.How about trt 207 lbs Hendo vs Ubereem around 2011 in Strikeforce? Does Hendo get easily crushed?
 
Hendo vs Overeem in the 2005 MWGP, Hendo has a very good chance. Odds would be close.

207lb 2011 Hendo vs 250lb 2011 Overeem, Hendo has a very poor chance.
 
Hendo would be underdog in both fights. Unkess he survives intial skinny reem blitz, reem will be walking target for the H bomb after a few minutes
 
I would have favored Shogun over Hendo and Hendo over Overeem in Pride and Strikeforce Overeem over Hendo.
 
Hendo vs Overeem in 2005 OR 2011 would be Hendo standing a KO'd Overeem. 2005 Shogun would have better use of his legs and would probably decision, possibly TKO Hendo.
 
Shogun with knees gets it done against Hendo imo

Reem either grabs a guillotine early or he wears down and gets KO'd imo. Can't sleep on that prime Hendo chin, the guy was like the terminator
 
Hendo's chin was at its best in Pride, against Shogun it probably would've been a decision win for Shogun with and excessive amount of stomps and soccer kicks that don't do much damage, somehow.

Hendo has a better chance against 05 Overeem who had horrible cardio, Ubereem would end him.
 
In 2005, Shogun beats any 205 lb man on the planet, with that rules set.
 
Lol Hendo wasnt on TRT then

Hendo loses to Nog, Reem and Shogun in 05.

After 07 is a different story

Yeah, Hendo was a solid puncher in Pride.

He developed his H-bomb after he came back to the UFC

And pre-injuries Shogun reks anyone there's ever been at 205.
 
2005 Shogun is at worst, the second-best mythical PPV fighter behind motivated BJ Penn.
 
shogun would knee hendo into a living death like rampage with wandy

207lb 2011 Hendo vs 250lb 2011 Overeem, Hendo has a very poor chance.
2019 Hendo vs 2019 Post-Ngannou Reem is a coin flip.
