Eh, the odds seem right to me.
It is quite an understatement to say that Hendo hasn't fared well himself off the TRT, and he is ancient at this point regardless. And while Hendo is probably mentally tougher than Belfort, he is plenty susceptible to gassing. His best chance is early in the fight as well, and it isn't as if he is much of a threat to submit or outpoint Belfort.
Henderson is one of my all time favorites, and has put together one of the most incredible careers we have seen in the sport. But he is through consistently beating top 10ish guys. He'll always have the H-bomb, but he's become terribly one-dimensional, slow, and chinny. And his wrestling has regressed to the point of where he is pretty average in that department as well.
I would love to see Henderson win, but he is rightfully a big dog IMO.
