all im saying is no one deserves 2 b in the cage with jackson at the moment.dana must b gutted shogun/liddell lost because the next fights were silva/liddell shogun/rampage.u can market griffin better than jardine but jardine won.u cant give jardine a title shot because he got mullered.u cant give alexander a title shot with only 2 ufc fights.the only fight is silva/jackson but i think you need 2 build a fighter up 1st.put alexander in with silva december.have jardine/griffin 2.winners fight each other .winner fights jackson simple.have liddell/shogun it will still sell tickets.but what does jackson do in the meantime thats all im saying

[…] Dan Handerson One Fight Left and Staying at LHW…. Well that is the word according to ufcmania.com and fightnetwork.com. I find it interesting that he doesn’t want to go down to MW and fight Anderson Silva in another unification bout. Is he maybe holding out for a contract extension? I think he should fight the winner of Tito/Rashad or maybe they can do a rematch of Dangerous Dan and Axe Murder Wandy I would love to see that in December. It would be a better match up than I Chuck "I KO Beer Cans" Liddell.

[quote post=”3435″]HEY GUYS 1ST TIME IN HERE[/quote]

Scott, can you please not type in caps. FYI, most people skip right over posts that are in all caps because they are difficult to read.

[quote post=”3435″]I THINK AN EXCITING FIGHT WOULD B SILVA/ALEXANDER 2 COME FORWARD FIGHTERS[/quote]

Also, I see what you’re trying to say here, but it looks like you are saying Silva/Alexander II; meaning, the second time they fought each other. Actually typing out the word ‘to’ really doesn’t take that much longer than typing the number ‘2′. It’s only 1 character.

[quote post=”3435″]AND GIVE PAGE A TUNE UP FIGHT [/quote]

That does not make sense. A Champ will NEVER have a ‘tune up fight’. The champion only fights the #1 contender. And also, why would Page need a tune up fight? I’ll assume that you’re referring to the fact that he lost to Silva twice, but this is not the same Rampage as back then, and also the fight will take place in a cage, not a ring, and also, the fight is not in Japan, so there will be drug testing. Or were you saying that Page needs a tune up before fighting Houston? If you say No to that question, then your statement makes zero sense:

“We’ll have a #1 contender match as a main event. The champion will also defend the belt, but that won’t be the main event. The reason behind this is because the champ needs a tune up fight, just in case fighter A beats fighter B in the main event #1 contender fight”

Is that really what you were tyring to say?

HEY GUYS 1ST TIME IN HERE.FIRST THING ILL SAY IS IM FROM THE UK AND AS MUCH AS I LIKE BISPING HAMIL WAS ROBBED.SECOND THING IS I BET DANA IS ABSOLUTELY GUTTED ABOUT THE LAST 2 LHW RESULTS.IF CHUCK AND SHOGUN HADVE WON IT WOULDVE BEEN SHOGUN/RAMPAGE LIDDELL/SILVA.I DONT THINK U CAN THROW JARDINE/GRIFFIN IN WITH PAGE STRAIGHT AWAY THEYRE 2 GREEN.WHAT UVE GOT 2 REALISE IS WHEN PAGE LOST HIS FIGHTS 2 SHOGUN/SILVA HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A PROPER CAMP HE WAS TRAINIBG WITH AMATEURS AND IN 1 FIGHT WAS EVEN FASTING.NO1 BEATS RAMPAGE 2DAY.I THINK AN EXCITING FIGHT WOULD B SILVA/ALEXANDER 2 COME FORWARD FIGHTERS.THE WINNER GETS RAMPAGE AND GIVE PAGE A TUNE UP FIGHT MAYBE CO MAINEVENTING. ANY THOUGHTS WHO THAT COULD B?

[quote comment=”159837″]People who want to put a fighter who won a fight vs one that lost a fight are nuts. You’re dreaming. Or 2 fighters who lost a fight but one was manhandled and the other took it to his opponent. Match up fighters who would actually have a close fight. Henderson Vs Shogun? You want Shogun in a coma? Shogun Vs Liddell they both looked inept in their last fight, so they got to prove.[/quote]
btw, just out of curiosity…who would you consider the top 10 in line for a title shot at this point in time and why?

Look at any other posts I have made comments on and you will know that I don’t think a drop in wieght is the answer usually. With Dan Henderson I make the exception to the rule. Hendo is deserving of a title, is needed in MW div to help stack it with talent, and would definately make a huge affect there with a possible unification fight again. C’mon Hendo drop the wieght.

How can you seriously KNOW if a fight is going to be ‘close’?

I think its impossible to gauge if a fight is going to be close or not.

Liddell vs Rampage II should have been in theory longer/better than Liddell vs. Rampage I. but Chuck gets KO’d. Shogun was ’supposed’ to finish Griffin in the 1st round. Jardine wasn’t supposed to be lit up by a nobody. etc.

So saying “match up people who will have a close fight” is just not possible in my opinion… since you used the assumptive word ‘will’.

I think u can only assess a fighters recent performance maybe 3-5 fights back and factor in the people who they’ve beaten and the way they’ve beaten them in the title shot race.

Oh and Machida is VERY underrated. The guy dosnt finish many fights, and may not be very exciting, but that should not discredit his skill at all, he is very techniqual, and picks his shots very wisely, someitmes too wisely, hence the lack of excitment. BUt the guy is VERY good. We will probably never get to see this though, he will never fight a legit contendar if I know anyting about Dana, he just isnt marketable enough.

Hendo would smash Anderosn and anybody at 185. At LHW, I see him alwasy being a top contendar, but never champ again. I think Hendo would beat Shogun after that last performance, also Liddell, if Wandi comes back 100%, then not Wandi, and not Rampage either. And Houstan my prove to become a legit threat to the title and everybody going for it as well. Hendo should do MW, he could me the most dominante champ ever.
