I don't blame Hendo for being pissed and wanting out. He got  ed over for the Middleweight title shot in which he DESERVED by edging out a win over Rich Franklin and put Mike Bisping in a ing coma. Vitor beat a past his prime Rich Franklin and gets a title shot right off the bat? ing bullsh*t. Hendo was promised that shot and he got it taken away from him. Simple as that. I don't blame him for being ing upset. I'd be pretty upset myself. Dude, chill out! How is that Hendo getting a questionable decision over Franklin & then KOing an over-rated Bisping is that impressive! Especially a Franklin who according to you is now past his prime? Rich is not past it, he lost a very close decision to Hendo, beat Wandy & then got freaking spanked by Belfort. Belfort's last two fights are a quick KO win over the already mentioned Franklin. Stopping Rich is a big deal regardless of your view of him as Wandy & Hendo didn't do it. Plus Belfort destroyed Lindland. The Law was ranked by many as a top level MW & Belfort freaking destroyed him. Vitor has looked impressive in beating two highly ranked guys. Plus the big bucks are in an Anderson/ Vitor fight. Hendo isn't that big a draw, plus has already been choked out by Anderson, he needed to clear out the division by fighting Nate before getting the credible No.1 Contender. It might be unfair but it is business after all, plus I'd rather see Anderson/ Vitor & Nate/ Hendso with the winners clashing later in 2010 anyway. Instead Hendo gets a vastly inflated view of his own worth & throws his toys out of the pram. That didn't work that well for Tito (who lets not forget is a legit PPV draw) & I can't see it working that well for Henderson. BYE! If Nate Mardquart can do nothing special and still earn a title shot against Silva, why can't Henderson? I don't think that second fight back in the UFC, Vitor should get the title shot. It was promised to Hendo, and Dana went empty on that promise. |

Those were catchweight fights because the guys who he was facing were heavier. He fights at Welterweight. Nick Diaz has fought at 155, 170, and 185 in his career. He jumps classes every other freaking fight.. |

Diaz' last Lightweight fight was in like 2007. He has said in interviews that he plans to stay at Welterweight for awhile. Those 2 catchweight fights for Strikeforce were considered "superfights" to the organization and didn't really follow a specific weight class.

It was promised to Hendo, and Dana went empty on that promise. ummmm... Nate Marquardts last 5 fights have all been amazing. Even his b.s. loss to Thales Leites he looked fantastic. Since his loss to Anderson he has.. -Submitted Jeremy Horn -TKO over Martin Kampmann -TKO over Wilson Gouveia -and KO over Demian Maia what has Henderson done to warrant a title shot at 185? -he beat Rousimar Palharres in a very boring fight by decision -a very close decision over Franklin(in a fight I STILL think Rich won) in a fight that was at 205 - and KO'd a very overrated Bisping. I'm a big fan of Henderson but to say Marquardt didn't deserve the shot or to even say Henderson deserved it more is just stupid. Marquardt has had 5 fights at 185 since his loss to Silva, Dan has had 2. Nate has had tougher opponents that are ranked higher at 185 than Bisping or Palhares. Nate also FINISHED 4 of his last 5 fights. Compared to Dan finishing one. But I guess the UFC still thinks Nate isn't a big PPV draw so whatever. I would rather have Belfort have the shot anyways..I don't want rematches for Silvas last remaining fights.. |

Damn I love Hendo and really hope to continue to see him in the UFC.

Like people said, Henderson is no big draw... so it's no big loss to the UFC - and no big loss for me, personally - although I am disappointed that I won't get to see Silva choke him out like a bitch, again.
