Weidman or Hendricks - Who deserves the title shot more

[HandsofGlory]

What do you guys think?

Weidman - 9-0

Last 3 fights - Munoz (KO) - Maia (Unanimous Decision) - Lawlor (Sub)

Hendricks - 14-1

Last 3 fights - Kampman (KO), Koscheck (Split Decision), Fitch (KO)

Hendricks, but i have no problem with either having to wait.

 

[Mooner]

Hendricks.

Hendricks and it's not close. Weidman's "top 5" wins were a bit of smoke and mirrors as they were entirely based off of Demian Maia (one being Maia, and the other being Munoz who was only ranked where he was for beating Maia), who was a bit overrated at MW (he beat Chael and then Chael picked off a bunch of the other contenders so Maia's ranking didn't drop and his win over Chael looked better and better after the fact).

Hendricks, on the other hand, beat perennial contenders Fitch and Koscheck (as well as Pierce who is a step below these guys but no joke), and then destroyed Kampmann, who was coming off of impressive wins over Ellenberger, Alves, and Story.

Who cares. "Deserves" has nothing to do with it.

only man to KO Fitch.

Henricks. But IMO both guys need to win at least 1 more fight:

Make Condit/Henricks and Bisping/Weidman next if things fall into the right place

 

[pureincognito]

Weidman would lose to Anderson for sure

 

[RichyN]

Who cares? Their in different weight classes.

Exactly this!

Hendricks. I believe his last fight was actually called a title contender elimination or had a similar quote to that from Dana.
Weidman's last fight was not called that. If it was I apologise it's been a few months.
I want to see Weidman win one more fight. I'd like it to be against someone besides Bisping though.

 

[hYpeo12]

Hendricks by far IMHO

 

[SocraticMethod]

Hendricks.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Hendricks but I believe Weidman is the better overall fighter and the more intriguing match up against the champ in his division.

Still, Hendricks is the most deserving contender in any division except for maybe Dan Henderson.

only man to KO Fitch.

Hendricks

Wilson Gouveia KOed Fitch early in his career.

 

[SODACKER]

The issue is that mw has no other interesting fights for silva. Weidman is far and away the most deserving. Hendricks is more deserving than diaz but there is more to the diaz gsp fight than that.

 

[Bearded Warrior]

Hendricks, because there really aren't any other contenders there. Bisping has a strong argument over Weidman.

 

[TH1RTE3N]

Hendricks, he's paid his dues. I understand why the Diaz fight is happening , but at the same time it's a bit wrong. Weidman needs to get at least a 10th fight under his belt and a main card fight on PPV.

 

[Tom Taylor]

Hendricks for sure.
