Rumor: Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson 'verbally agreed' for October event

[Defeat Unknown]

It's the money fight era and this is the biggest money fight for Bisping at the moment. Bisping is on a tear and Hendo just had one of the best ko's of his career. Naturally it's a great rematch.

It's obvious Jacare is the #1 contender and deserves the title shot. He'll, he's been in line for at least the past year for a title shot. If there's anyone getting fucked over, it's Souza.

But let's not forget, as soon as Luke Rockhold won the title, the first thing he did was call out Vitor Belfort. And the whole time Luke was champ, all he talked about was "money fights" and "big names". Sorry Luke, I think Dan Henderson is a bigger name than Luke Rockhold, and the rematch is more enticing.

We're also in a time where Conor McGregor has abandoned his division, won't defend the belt, and is fighting two weight classes above all the while holding on to his belt and logjamming 145.

It's a time where the focus is on "big fights" and Dan doesn't have much time left, so might as well jump on that rematch while they can. Dan's a Legend of the sport and Mike has been a company man for 10 years, and he's lead the way in England for 10 years. I'm ok with both guys getting what they want and I think UFC is ok with this fight being a big one in Manchester. It's a chance to let a long time company man have his big moment at home. 10 years in the making.

It will probably do 500K if they promote it a lot and are lucky. 450K is what I think it will do.

I dont think that much, 500k for 2 mediocre Middleweights going on at. One of them being almost 60 and 3 - 3 in his last 6. Noone is gonna buy this Pay.Per.View in my opinion.

You never know. Casuals might buy it because of Bisping's trash talk. Still, no matter how much it draws, it's a shit fight. Romero or Jacare would've been better fights to make.

I find it funny you guys are still trying to find logic in UFC fights after all these years of retarded match ups

 

[MikeyCanFly]

If Bisping wins then he retires in the UK and they make a movie about him

 

[xupacabra]

Bisping has some balls.. He's fighting a guy who KTFO'd him badly in their last fight..

By winning, he has nothing to gain, everyone will be like "ofc he won, dan is out of his prime, easy fight"

 

[Neck Crank]

Bisping-Hendo 2 will be announced at UFC 200. Deal with it.

Enough, already...Make this fight happen...

 

[peterparker66]

Well as much as I'm not a fan of the match up at least Lisping is defending his belt unlike some champs who go chasing pipe dreams and after losing still don't defend their title

 

[Cazador]

While I'm raising my glass hoping Henderson lands the H-Bomb again, IF confirmed, I hope this finally make people realize once and for all title fights in the UFC stopped being about rankings a while ago.

 

[Mortigan]

I will not pay to watch Bisping fight Jacare or Romero. I'd be happiest if Romero never fought again, and Jacare just doesn't interest me.

Bisping v Hendo I'll watch and enjoy.

 

[bricklay3r]

I'm all for this.

 

[Zach Jerome]

Everyone thinks it will be a remake from UFC 100, Mousasi put Hendo away...He doesn`t take to much to put Hendo out this days.

That's what I keep saying, this is not the same Henderson from the first fight, Bisbing is going to knock him out. He should I'd retired on a high note after knocking out Lombard

 

[Seattle cloud]

If Hendo doesn't deserve this shot, Bisping deserves it. Dan Henderson produced one of the greatest and most brutal KOs in UFC history on the 100 card. Now we all know he did that on TRT which is now banned. We all know how open Bisping is about steroid abusers and cheaters. He deserves the opportunity to redeem that embarrassing KO loss from UFC 100 now that he's champion. If Bisping wins then we can throw the top 5 at Him. For now just give the man his shot at redemption and shut the fuck up already you fucking cry babies cause you know you'll watch it and love it regardless of the outcome.

So what you are saying is it isn't a sport. I already knew that.

It's prizefighting fighting not a team sport. Money fights and champs picking and choosing has always been a part of prize fighting. Promoters will go with the bigger ROE. Jacare nor gay jesus sell. Luke and Chris just lost. Bisping sells and the fight sells itself. It's a no brainer. The ufc is a sport in the same sense that boxing is. Would you say boxing isn't a sport? Because a whole lot of ducking and sidestepping happens constantly in that sport

 

[Curly Peibce]

I like it, the americans need all the titles instead of just most of them.

lol gsp fans these days are hilarious, you're saying he should walk away from a title shot and play it safe and retire? Good thing you're not a fighter.

 

[King Kerns]

Souza just lost to Romero the fight before last, Romero is suspended for a min, Weidman and rockhold are coming off losses so shut the fuck up about hendo vs bisping it's a good enough fight. Oh yea hendo is a true legend who earned it enough given his years in the sport, so except it and enjoy the fact that the stars aligned.
