Yeah, problem his it's pretty obvious when he loads up that right hand, which is why it hardly KO's anyone anymore. Especially someone like Anderson.
I dont know how it can be a horrible matchup when he won round 1 convincingly. I dont think he can beat Silva but he looked better then pretty much anyone in the UFC against Silva. Also after Belfort who the hell is Silva going to fight? I dont know how you can argue that Nate deserves a shot and Hendo doesnt.

Re: Hendo to Strikeforce? NO!!!

Well using that logic why doesn't the UFC bring back Lutter to fight Anderson? He had full mount on Silva!!!!

And it's a horrible matchup because Anderson is better than Henderson in every area except wrestling. Henderson would have to repeat round 1 for 5 rounds to win. Take Anderson down and then cover up his mouth.

If Lutter won 3 fights in a row against top competition, I would be saying the same thing. My focus is more on the Middleweight championship than Silva. I think Hendo's done enough to get another shot at the belt. Silva has the belt so that means he's done enough to get another shot at Silva.

Without looking Silva is one of the only fighters I can think of to finish him off. I just don't see many better matchups than Hendo for Silva at Middleweight outside of Belfort. Marquart will get own'd by Silva or Hendo either way. I can understand him I guess not being a UFC fan favorite because he really hasn't done anything too exciting outside of KTFO of the count.

Re: Hendo to Strikeforce? NO!!!

I hope Hendo and the UFC can work things out. I think he's deserving of another shot against Anderson. He won the first and was doing well to start the 2nd round, but made a tactical error and then the fight was over.

Hendo's a diverse fighter, too, as he can scrap at 185 and 205 and compete with the elite in either division. Definitely a guy you'd want to have around for the next 2-3 years.

"I don't plan on fighting anywhere else," said Henderson, who reportedly met with Strikeforce officials. "It never even entered my mind that I'd be anywhere else. It's just something myself, Dana (White) and the other guys over there at the UFC, we need to sit down and figure it out for my next fight."

Henderson hinted a fight with Nate Marquardt, a fellow top contender who's also suffered a previous loss to Silva, could be next.

"It doesn't look like it'll be him," Henderson said of Silva. "But my guess is my next two fights will be Marquardt and Anderson Silva. It doesn't matter to me which order they're in."

White says they couldn't agree to terms, negotiations are done.
