Who is screwed worse?

[RainerCallmund]

Both Hendricks and Henderson are on tremendous winning streaks and they both have defeated amazing opponents. Henderson is currently on a winning streak which includes wins by knockout over Babalu, Feijao, Fedor! and he won arguably the best fight in the history of mma against Shogun although some people say it should have been called a draw. After the victory, he had to wait since Machida and Evans were fighting Jones.
As we all know Henderson had to pull out of his fight against Jones and we all know the controversy about UFC 151.
Then however, somehow Sonnen who lost his last fight by knockout and had lost his last fight at Light Heavyweight by submission got the shot although Henderson would have been available for late april.
Hendricks has beaten Pierce, Koscheck and has knocked out Fitch and Kampmann during his current run. His streak is not as long as the winnings streaks of Alves, Fitch or Shields when they faced GSP but he has defeated competition that is as least as strong as the best names you can find in their resume.
Instead of Hendricks, Nick Diaz will get the shot although he lost his last fight and his opposition of his previous streak does not match up with the one of Hendricks. At least, GSP vs Diaz is a fight the fans really want although it seems that people think it is a bad call as they think Hendricks is way more deserving. However, calling it a fight the fans want to see is not some bullshit made up by Dana as it is in the other case with Sonnen vs Jones.
Who do you feel is getting screwed up worse by the UFC?
Do Hendricks and Henderson have to wait even longer because of future Silva vs GSP or Silva vs Jones fights?

Henderson because he's so old.

 

[TONKPILS]

andy wang........probly not though....henderson cause age and he dont complain about it every 5 seconds

 

[GusBrooks]

Hendo because Hendricks is being a baby and not fighting while Hendo is fighting a top contender in Machida

 

[TFanatic]

If Henderson wanted a UFC belt, he shouldn't have left for strikeforce in the first place. He was in a great spot to challenge Anderson again, or even Forrest.

 

[DaleRHCP]

Henderson's getting screwed. Hendricks hasn'tt impressed me enough to be upset about it tbh.

Hendricks, Hendo's shot at least went to one of his buddies.

 

[benhamil]

Hendricks or Henderson

Hendricks.

This is payback at Henderson for not disclosing the injury that derailed 151 earlier.

 

[trident]

Hendricks is more screwed and more deserving of a shot than Hendo.

At least Hendo was given a shot. It was an injury that cancelled that bout. Hendricks isn't even getting the chance.

 

[beefcake180]

Hendricks because whens the last time someone beat 3 consecutive (arguably) top 5 opponents and DIDN'T get a title shot?

Yeah that's right, never.

 

[CRuck1980]

Hendricks got the short end of the straw on this one. Henderson was really only in contention because Bones beat everybody. His only legit win is that Shogun fight and that was hella close, a win against Machida makes him a contender, beating journeymen in SF doesn't mean anything

 

[AmericanMMA]

Clearly Hendo based on his age and the fact the guy who was given the title shot hasn't even fought in his division since he was subbed by babalu years ago. Hendricks got Fed too, but at least Diaz is a Lagit threat in the division. Sonnen is a joke. I guess dana doesn't like great wrestlers with 1 pinch KO power.

[reddhelium]

This. Hendo got derailed by injury, Hendricks isn't even allowed on the track.

Dan Henderson:

KO's Renato Sobral

KO's Rafael Cavalcante to become the SF LHW Champion

KO's HW GOAT Fedor Emelianenko

Beats Shogun in a decision in one of the best fights ever.

Hendo at least won a belt and beat one of the best fighters that ever lived.

Johny Hendricks:

Very close fight with Mike Pierce.

KO's Fitch.

Very close fight with Koscheck, some believe Koscheck won.

KO's Martin Kampmann.

I think Hendo has been more impresive, but that's just my opinion. Hendo got upset, but he still accepted a fight to get himself to the title shot quicker instead of sitting out and waiting around for it.

 

[Fyreborn]

Hendo for sure.

1) He has to fight Machida, who is favored over him. Hendricks can sit out and will probably still get his shot, unless he pisses off the powes that be.

2) Diaz coming off a loss is a poor choice, but at least there's fan interest in that fight...Sonnen getting a LHW title shot is the biggest joke in MMA history.

 

[JJLong]

On the Henderson vs Feijao Strikeforce show, Coenen vs Carmouche did better viewership.

Therefore WMMA > Hendo.
