I am not saying Hendo will drop Machida for sure. I am suggesting that it's more plausible than a lot of posters here seem to think.
In short, this is a dangerous fight for Lyoto because:
a) Machida's chin is up high and his hands are still low when he moves in and out;
b) Hendo has a history of routinely dropping guys
when you add those two recurring patterns together, it's puzzling why so many people believe Machida will easily evade Hendo's firepower. It's far from a sure thing IMO
I dont think thats the case at all i think Hendo is getting plenty of respect just most expect Machida to win. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if Hendo landed and put him out. But i think it is more likely he doesn't land it and Machida wins which is what most people are saying
