Machida/Henderson 2 - Does anyone actually care?

Love Machida, but this isn't a great matchup. Feels like Machida gains nothing from a 2nd win here, but a loss really hurts his chances at title contention.

I hope he wins, but I can't say I'm super excited either way.

I didn't know the ranking difference was as drastic as #5 against like #14 until now. Really weird that it's happening tbh.
 
Sure I'll watch and enjoy just for the name value, pretty sure Machida will beat the piss outta Hendo just based on recent performances but who knows right ?
 
Strange fight for sure, usually if they book a rematch like this one it is because the first fight was exciting. The first fight was not exciting, Machida was on his bike with Hendo chasing looking to land a right hand
 
I will watch, but i watch almost every main card the UFC puts anyway, i dont have high expectations on it.
 
I'm expecting it to be a boring fight with absolutely no meaning. As a Machida fan, at least it's nice that he gets an easy fight as he's had it rough in the last year or so. I think Machida needs to fight a couple of lower ranked guys and try and improve before he goes on his next title run. I don't see how he can be "done" just because he has lost to Rockhold. The loss to Romero was tough to swallow but I would easily pick Machida in a rematch (and especially now that USADA probably will be testing the shit out of Romero).
 
A couple big names and future hall of famers. Why not even if they're both out of their prime it could be very entertaining.
