Dan Henderson vs. Anderson Silva II?

[Big_Chief_Stove]

ban hamer plz

Um...what now?

 

[Ace of Spades]

Sure that works.

I'd take Anderson here.

 

[TimeisNOW]

Seems like the perfect match up for both fighters, IF Dan decides he wants to fight for a little longer. Both are legends in their 40's. I don't see why not...Sherdog Nation, what do you think?

dan made it clear he wants to fight, it's just going to cost ufc more than 600k for him to show

 

[MuayThaiBX]

Fight makes sense given where both fighters are at in their careers IMO.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

One week ago, Bisping loses to all three fighters listed.

Nope.

 

[Based God]

Would that be the 2 oldest guys to fight each other in the UFC

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Nope.

When Bisping KO's a man… He is no longer some invincible destroyer.

 

[Concrete Whale]

Both should retire.

 

[SenseiJim]

I think Hendo should call it a career or be gifted a title shot against Bisping for his last match. Either way it would be hard to top what he did to Hector, which imo was on par with his KO of Bisping at UFC 100

 

[TimeisNOW]

dan vs bisping, and ideally dan retires on top because it won't be pretty if he doesn't. UFC will keep paying him.

 

[InFlamedOne]

Only interested in seeing Silva in fresh match-ups unless its for the title

Even way past his prime, Silva/Jacare , Silva/Romero , Silva/Rockhold, are all tasty fights

You are nuts. Silva is basically an old man, completely different animal than even 4 years ago.

him vs Jacare or Romero would be complete mismatches and murder.

 

[Magnum1978]

I'd like to see Silva / Rockhold due to the 'I'm a level above' comments

Might not be worth it for either party at this point.

Despite the stylistic matchup, and Anderson being way past his prime...

Remember this

Romero is 39
Jacare is 36
Bisping is 37
Anderson is 41 but the gap is closer than most people think

 

[MMA]

could be epic/depressing.

That about sums it up.

By the way, joeyjoejoe? That's the worst name I ever heard!

 

[SamboSlice253]

I think its a great opportunity for one of these greatest veterans to get one last title shot so they can go out with a bang.

 

[emog2]

finaly someone with sense
shertards going full retard with bisping vs hendo

Yeah, I know that they are also no spring chickens. However, now just see how they looked in their last 3 fights each and compare it to Silva.
The difference is extreme, the cliff Silva fell from is unbelieveable. He just looked like a frail old man, in both Weidman fights and Diaz fight, with glipses of old form here and there against Bisping.

Would love to see this rematch.
