I am a Hendo fan...and I completely understand that he held both the Middelweight and Light Heavyweight Title in Pride, but it still just doesn't seem right that he should get two title shots in a row. I think there should have been a couple fights in between his "loss" to Rampage.

i think its fair, he has both belts and you have to unify them. you can penalize him because hes bad ass and has two belts. i mean damn if it wasnt for dan none of the titles would be unified.

One of them would because had Dan lost to Wandy, then Wandy would of come in with the belt and fought Rampage again.

Dana made a point, If henderson loses to Silva whos left in that division that can beat him?

I think the card overall looks pretty promising to say the least plus I am looking forward to seeing okomi in the ring again and even tanner coming back will be interesting.

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't seen all of Silva's or Henderson's fights, but the ones I have seen have been great and this should be one of the coolest bouts this year. My opinion of the way this battle will play out based off of the limited knowledge I have would be Anderson ending it in the 3rd via strikes tko(I can't see Silva actually putting Dan to sleep) with henderson not making this easy for silva using his strength to it's fullest advantage to fend off the clinch and get takedowns or Henderson imposing his will on Anderson (wich seems highly unlikely, then again the strength factor seems to be on Dan's side), taking it to the ground and ending it there somewhere in the 3rd or 4th......Any way you slice it this is such a sweet match-up! Oh, and I'm not saying Silva is a slouch on the ground just that from what I've seen of both these fighters wich isn't much,I'm giving Henderson the upper-hand in that category.

Yeah I can understand what your saying but you always have to look at decisions like these from a buisness perspective. A unification title bout with the whole pride vs ufc thang is definitely going to bring in more $$$, and sadly, in the end it seems that everyone bows to the almighty coin.

I'm watching WEC right now on Versus and they just showed a commercial for UFC 82 and they absolutely 100% said Keith Jardine. What the hell? I looked on UFC.com and nothing and I kinda looked on here and nothing. Anybody know why his name was mentioned? Sorry if this has already been covered.
