So we are giving out pity title shots, now?

[Persistant]

Dan Henderson is 3-6 in his last nine....Has a 1 fight win streak...And just because of a fight 7 years ago, the UFC is giving him a title shot because why?

-he has history with Bisping that was squashed 7 years ago?
-he is nearing retirement, so lets give him one more chance at the title?

Im fading away people...I thought this was a sport, but I keep getting proved wrong...The best continue NOT to fight the best....

 

[Brandon Wilson]

Hendo doesn't deserve it. You're absolutely right. However, I'd be in heaven if he knocks Bispings head right off again.

War Hendo! !!!!!!

 

[Arm Barbarian]

And just because of a fight 7 years ago, the UFC is giving him a title shot because why?

Because

THAT's why

 

[BNC]

I don't have a problem with Hendo getting a shot at some gold he's an O.g in the fight game. He will probably win as well.

 

[SoberAwakening]

TS, trust me when I tell you that I get it. There's no arguing with some "fans" though.

 

[BigNuggetIce]

Yeah, I partly can't believe this is happening but it's the ufc so I mostly can. Pretty shameful though.

 

[LMNT]

If Dan Henderson KOs Bisping it will be one of the greatest things to ever happen in mma.

 

[SuperNerd]

No, it's not pity.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

I agree that Dan doesn't deserve it, but listening to this same argument for months and months is going to be excruciating. They fight, one wins, one loses, then the division moves on. It's not the end of the world.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

Dana just casually asks Bisping on TV last night
"So who you wanna fight next Mike?"

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

It's understandable, he's a bigger name than Jacare among casuals and it could well be his last fight. Let him have his last shot and then move on to other more deserving contenders.

 

[ostlerrage]

hendo's a simple guy who also happens to be a scumbag. he doesn't deserve it but they are giving it to him for ppv's and the chance for bisping to have revenge.

 

[Deleted member 479811]

Pretty shameful bullshit. Embarrassing to the sport

So if he wins he retires as champ? Fucking stupid lol...

Souza and Romero both deserve a shot at the title yet Dana is doing this fight for whatever reason.

Scumbag?

 

[blaseblah]

Bisping probably asked for it.

UFC is an entertainment business first than sport, for better or worse
If it was a sport first Askren would be here, cm punk wouldn't, mcgregor wouldn't be fighting then rematching Diaz etc

[Cubo de Sangre]

Hendo getting a final shot at the ultimate glory. Bisping getting the chance to redeem one of the top UFC KO's ever. Might be the best story going. Welcome to prize fighting.

 

[tdluxon]

This is definitely throwing out any semblance of fairness in terms of rankings and who is deserving but go hendo, one more for the road!
