Machida/Henderson 2 - Does anyone actually care?

[KONE]

Outside of Hendo/Machida fans anyway? I'll watch, but I'm befuddled as to why this rematch is even happening.

Was there really no younger MWs for these guys to test themselves against? Regardless of who wins (probably Machida via having the tiniest bit left in the gas tank), where does it get them?

Then when you take into account how sleep inducing the first fight was, it's really perplexing that this fight was even made again.

Stupid match up and could end up being a boring fight like the first one.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I care, just not too much. Machida should be fighting someone higher ranked and Dan Henderson should be fighting someone lower ranked.

 

[CrimsonFan]

I think it would be cool if Hendo won and retired

It's pretty meh-tacular isn't it.

 

[Dart Feld]

It's to find out which one of them needs to consider retirement.

Swerve is that it's both.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

I like it. Very interesting

 

[Ironman70.3]

I honestly didn't realize they were fighting. Way too many cards to keep up on.

But to answer your question, no I don't really care. I'd watch though

Itr's another pointless rematch, at least it isn't headlining the so called biggest event ever.

 

[Goh]

I forgot they fought a first time until i saw UFC's Youtube upload.

 

[Danespina]

They should have done the rematch as 5 rounds. Last time they didn't start engaging till late.

 

[Gabe]

Legend vs. legend fight. I'll watch.

I know the UFC usually uploads previous fights of people who have a fight coming up, but holy shit, at least pick a fight where Hendo/Machida finished someone. Not that pile of shit.

 

[Goodfella86]

I care very much about this fight- only because of the fighters. I'm a die-hard Hendo fan and huge fan of Lyoto. This means very little for mma. It's an unnecessary rematch that screams "lack of options!"

 

[doomy200]

Gonna be tough to suck more than the first one so it at least has that going for it, and neither guy has looked great lately so maybe there will be a finish

UFC.com has the schedule on the front page, not hard at all to keep up with fights.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Huge Machida fan. After the first fight, definitely not interested.

If they were closer to their primes this would give me a boner.

But now a days its pretty irrelevant. Ive never been a machida fan and ive always been a Hendo fan, but i guess i would want lyoto to win simply because Hendo has nowhere to go with a win. Id say machida is a teeny bit more relevant and not as shot.

I wish this was lyoto machida vs gegard mousasi 2 so gegard could avenge his loss. Gegard beat Hendo too, finished hendo.

Its a legends match up, I just hope Machida front kicks his head off this time.
