I'd like Cormier to stay at HW, start making a name for himself in the UFC with a fight against Frank Mir. It's not a given that Cain gets by Overeem anyhow, so why give up on HW now?
And Hendo would be more deserving of the LHW title shot than Cormier with a win over a perennial contender in Lyoto Machida
Would his current win streak definitively be more impressive than Cormier beating Big Foot, Barnett, and Mir?
If Hendo wins and is healthy, he'll get the next shot. If Cormier wins against Mir and can get down to 205, he'll get the shot after Hendo. If Hendo is injured, Cormier will meet Jones in a catchweight (225 or something). Meanwhile, Gustafsson and Glover will have one more fight each, and whomsoever wins more impressively out of the two of them gets the shot after Cormier/Hendo.
Definitely. Henderson will absolutely get the shot this time around.
Why do you think Jon would fight at a 225 catchweight(or any catchweight) with Cormier? He's the champ. He doesn't go to the challenger. He doesn't owe him any favors.
That warrior spirit shit sure is dead nowadays
