No offense to Dan Hendo but...

Dan Henderson vs Michael Bisbing is the first time I've wanted a fight that "wasn't deserved".

All I want (need) is for Dan to land the H bomb, one more time. Is it too much to ask?

You do realise that your list ends with fringe accomplishments in 2011 and starts with 1987 right?
Its 2016 now

1987-2016...just makes it even more epic
 
in lombards 40 fights henderson is the only fighter to knock him out cold. that is huge. plus he is a legend and has one of the best ko's in history over the current champ. and the champ wants the rematch. the whole ranking system is garbage most of the time anyway. if they were accurate then they would never change... this title fight is for the fans.
 
I hope Hendo kills that scum fuck Bisping
 
Yes it does. It is amazing. Makes him a true legend. I loved the Ötzi thread too if you can remember that. That was spot on! :)
But still doesn't make this title match up any better unfortunately.
 
He's one of the most decorated fighters of all time. He was supposed to fight Jones and he got screwed out if a second shot vs andy so they owe him one anyway.


He's got a ko win over the champ so they're giving him a shot. It's not his fault he's the same age as romero and jacare but has had a far more legendary career than they have.


He's about to retire they can get their shots after Dan.


P.S. please please JBG give Hendo a win via h bomb, I've been good all year

What the hell did he do to deserve a title shot other than lose 6 of his last 9 fights?

There are so many other contenders that deserve a title shot more than him.

Obviously Yoel and his drama, but hey.. he's finally back and ready to fight
Jacare souza? Only lost to Yoel but that was when Yoel was using tainted supps

and arguable almost every other top 10 ranked middleweight fighter

Gave Bisping one of the worst knock out losses ever. That's enough I guess. Him taking out Lombard too was pretty cool.

People who are defending this match up are the ones that are turning this into boxing like events.
Nothing wrong with that as obviously people seem to like it.
Just not my thing unfortunately.
I prefer pride events.

You prefer pridefc events but not cool with this matchup? This is something pride would do 8000% Hell pride had champions fight in non title bouts at same weight if they felt the other guy didn't deserve it.

Pride held non title fights indeed to keep the champs busy. (In pride fighting 3 to 6 times a year was the norm, good old times......)
I would cheer for this fight as a stand alone. Hell yeah!!!!!!
Just not as a title fight.
It devaluates the title and the sport. That is my major concern.
I don't doubt it will be awesome.
 
Does the whitebelt even know Dan's name?

so. That is ancient history. Dan is a tough sob but he doesn't deserve this shot. There are 2 former champions waiting and 2 other older fighters who have earned a shot, Yoel and Jacare. I think Jacare is up but I wouldn't complain about any of the 4 getting the shot. Dan can fight Bisping fter he loses.

You are simply lacking the contextual understanding and respect that comes with experience over time.
 
People still act like fighters earn their title shots by their fights. UFC has proven repeatedly that you earn title shots by being an interesting and marketable story. I love MMA, but in the UFC, it's not a legit sport.

All that still doesn't warrant a title shot when he's basically skipping better talent and higher ranked fighters in the weight class. By this logic, Overeem should get two rematches if he loses to Stipe. I don't get what's the point of having a ranking "system" if you're gonna toss it out of the window to make pointless fights.
