Dan Henderson vs Winner of JDS/Cain?

by DirtyML on Aug 20, 2011 4:59 PM EDT

Given the lack of competitors and given Henderson recently beating Fedor in emphatic fashion, would anyone be against Henderson trying his luck vs the winner of this fight?

Let's say that Overeem does not get signed, Schaub gets subbed by Nog, Bigfoot gets bagged by a myth hunter, Kharitonov gets conscripted into the Russian Navy for World War 3, Barnett joins the WWE, Brock refuses to leave his house in Minnesota and the rest of the HWs disappear.

Would Henderson vs JDS/Cain be an exciting and awesome fight?

in fantasy, if hendo does fight for a heavyweight title and wins that puts him in my book top 3 fighters of all time

too bad he wont fight in hw division. then again crazier things have happened

No

He’s a 205 maximum. He won’t be able to compete with the super giants, unlike Cain and JDS.

Let the fighters fight, let the referees ref, but dear God, don't let the judges judge.

I would love to see it...

but It won’t happen. Dana gave him the one shot at 205 for the title. Though the Franklin fight was at 205 as well. If anything they would want him to drop weight again to help add star power to 185. But being honest Dan Henderson is one of those fighters who is a real coin flip at any weight (he can make).

No way he drops to 185 again

He’s said already that the cut kills him and he doesn’t think he can perform well there any more.

Yeah I know..

I said if anything the UFC would try to make him drop.. They usually don’t have fighters jump up a weight class, most of the time they want them to drop a class. No way would I see them making Dan a HW.
