Arguments Against Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping II Destroyed

[ReadWrite]

By Alexander K. Lee (The Score)

On paper, a second meeting between two of the UFC's longest-tenured employees doesn't make the most sense. Henderson's big win over Hector Lombard at UFC 199 only bumped him up to No. 13 in the company's official rankings and there are a number of worthy contenders ahead of him. However, none of those contenders have an airtight case.

1. Chris Weidman is coming off of a loss to Luke Rockhold, the man who Bisping just knocked out to become champion.

2. Brazilian star Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza is close to a shot after taking out Vitor Belfort at UFC 198, but he also has a recent loss to Yoel Romero.

3. As for Romero, his suspension for a drug test violation ended in June, putting him on shaky ground with the matchmakers.

4. The other ranked fighters don't quite have the resume needed for a championship opportunity, leaving the experienced Henderson as the most entertaining choice.

. . .

The fact stands that several of Bisping's losses came against opponents who were either on TRT or were involved in drug testing controversies. A successful title defense against Henderson would only support the narrative that he is the best middleweight in the world on a level playing field.

On the other side, Henderson's career is winding down and there wouldn't be a more fitting way for it to end than with a chance to earn the one MMA accolade that has eluded him thus far, a UFC championship.

I just want gay Jesus all roided up smashing people. Kthx

How is Yoel not next? I don't understand the shaky ground for match makers thing.

 

[BC]

I wish Yoel Gesus just took that 6 month suspension so he could fight for the title next. I'm tired of lame rematches, if Gesus can't fight I'm down for Jacare to get the shot.

I honestly wouldn't be mad at Hendo getting the shot even though he doesn't deserve it just because that would be a fun fight.

Yeah there needs to be a standard


Hell.. Jacare probably deserved a shot years ago, they made him fight like 6 times until he barely lost a decision.. Ofcourse you will lose if you have to fight 20 times.. Honestly he might have been able to hold the title from the moment he came to the ufc.. Now he may never, because he fought Chris Carmozzi twice in his prime years.

Yoel too.. He probably deserved to fight for the title after Brunson or Kennedy.. At this rate he will be 42 before he gets a shot.

#3 is pure bs.

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

I mean basically anybody deserves it before Hendo. I mean he is ranked 13th in the division AND he has lost 6 of his last 9.

 

[rakeleaves]

Yeah there needs to be a standard


Hell.. Jacare probably deserved a shot years ago, they made him fight like 6 times until he barely lost a decision.. Ofcourse you will lose if you have to fight 20 times.. Honestly he might have been able to hold the title from the moment he came to the ufc.. Now he may never, because he fought Chris Carmozzi twice in his prime years.

Yoel too.. He probably deserved to fight for the title after Brunson or Kennedy.. At this rate he will be 42 before he gets a shot.

UFC 189 clearly showed that Jacare and Romero were the superior two MWs.

What's not rational about being realistic?

In reality, no one cares about the rankings. They want to see entertaining fights.

Actually a lot of people care. Read some of the top comments, just because you say fuck them doesn't make those people irrelevant moron.
How is Bisping running circles around a man who has slowed down quite a lot entertaining? Let me guess. (Because he knocked him out 6 years ago) lol.
