Unify the 205 Title

“I think that could be interesting going forward, a unification fight with the winner of that contest would be a good match,” Dan Henderson told Telegraph Sport from his home tonight.

“I’m the Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion, I’ve beaten Fedor, and I’m unemployed, so we’ll have to see what the talks are now after I’ve had a few weeks off. It’s not a bad position to be in though.”

“I’m not really looking to go back to middleweight (vs. Anderson Silva). I’m happy at light-heavyweight. It’s where I feel most comfortable."

Its not like anyone else any more deserving.

Dan is on a 3-0 streak with wins over Babalu, Cavalcante, & Fedor. Rashad will be on a 3-0 streak with wins over Thiago, Rampage, & Tito.

Pretty similar competition if you ask me.

wins over thiago,page and tito are alot more impressive than the wins dan has.

also give machida one more fight and he will be more deserving as well. the level of comp dan has been fighting is just not at that of guys like evans,machida or even forrest if he beats shogun. at this point i'll take dan over forrest in a title shot but not evans or machida.

Fedor = Page
Thiago = Cav
Tito = Babalu

Machida only beat Randy. He needs more than 2 wins.

I would actually switch Thiago and Tito there, simply because Tito did amount to something once. But yeah thats pretty much equal to one another in terms of those wins over those fighters. We're not comparing GSP with Nick Diaz here, those wins are pretty much on an even scale.

Rashad gets next shot if he beats Tito no doubt. He earned it in the UFC. If Dan wants a shot he has to beat either Rampage, Rua, Machida or at the very least Forrest.

I get the impression with how easily he let him go, and with the respect I mean lack of respect Dana has for Fedor, that Henderson will sign a new contract with Strikeforce instead of getting an offfer for one in the UFC.

I'd go

Fedor ≥ Page
Thiago > Feijao
Tito ≥ Babalu


Regardless there's multiple fights in the UFC I'd like for Hendo, Bones/Page winner, Shad, Machida, Shogun/Forrest winner.....

I think with Bones, Page, and Shad the LHW title picture is booked up.

I predicted that Henderson will sign with UFC and fight Lyoto.

The only way i see Hendo hotshotting to a UFC title fight is if Bones beats Page and Shad loses to Tito...and come on,as overrated as some may think Shad is...he's come a long way since drawing with Tito..He'll beat him by a sound decision or even TKO him.

well imo machida is 2-1 in his last 3 fights thats why i say he needs one more win. im cool page got the dec with machida, there are always ugly dec in mma , but still the better fighter was machida. for that i say one more fight against a top level opponent. if anything it would be coold to see him vs hendo for #1 contendership (after shad beats tito and gets his). its just crazy to see how many people are jumping on the hendo wagon as expected after his last fight. he is still the same hendo that lost to anderson and page. the one that barely pulled off the win against franklin. the same one who lost to shields. kinda reminds me of how much love tito got from his last fight. its good to see the old guys get a w especially in an impressive way but doesnt change the fact of were and how they are at this point in their careers

Don't fix it. It's your trademark.

i just don't see how Machida would deserve a shot before Hendo.

Neither deserve a shot right now.
