Your thoughts on Machida if he beats Henderson?

[mmagoat]

If he wins dominantly it would be a good reason to put Machida above Shogun.

if Machida wins then its him and bones part 2. id like to see hendo back at middleweight and fight Anderson again.

dan has great cardio in middleweight division nowdays! he wont go there ever again even if you wanted it

The question says it all, i think people are overlooking Dan thats why i made this thread to know what sherdog thinks about this.

I expect Machida to outclass Hendo by controlling the distance against a vastly inferior striker. All Machida has to do is avoid that slow, overly telegraphed, H-bomb and he wins this fight easily. Machida is a horrible style match up for Dan.

Machida seems like a dreadful stylistic matchup for Hendo but if there's one thing I've learned it is to never write Dan off.
