Rumors is that Hendo may get a title shot against Bisping.

If this is true and gets announced in a few weeks then I'm gunna be pumped. This could be anyone's fight, and who knows he could actually be MW champ.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

They better not, if they did it would be a gift to Hendo because he's never had ufc title. I think it's a money fight for the UFC, and Hendo has a much better chance against Bisping than Jacare.

I've also heard GSP's name mentioned, but that is very common these days.

That would be stupid as far as trying to be a real sport. Hendo has no reason to be anywhere near a title and should be getting a retirement fight.

Devils advocate time:

Lets say Bisping wants to defend his belt in August/September. Rockhold is likely out because of the knee injury. Weidman is out because of the neck injury. Jacare has a meniscus tear and wont likely be ready. Romero is coming off of a failed drug test. Anderson is coming off of a loss. #7 Machida is too. So is #9 Uriah Hall.

So you are left with 4 choices: #6 Robert Whittaker, #8 Gegard Mousasi, #11 Derek Brunson or Hendo.

Brunson and Mousasi fight in July so that may put them out of contention. So its really Whittaker or Hendo. Whittaker has one 5 in a row but his biggest win is over Hall. Hendo doesnt have much of an argument either as he's 2-2 since returning to MW.

So there really isnt a clear choice. In that case, you take the fight that is going to generate more buzz and thats the Hendo fight.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

They have to do another ultimate fighter if they fight. I became a Bisping fan after watching that comedy of a season.

Will Brooks is a beast and Ross Pearson is a perfect oppenent for him in his first UFC fight.

So pumped about this guy, I hope he takes off in the UFC.
