Nice!

Agreed really glad to hear a fighter say that and not just start bitching

Well you can assume that both men would make their rounds through ESPN to hype the fight. Rashad would be focusing on the "feud" while Hendo would be talking about the fight and possibly his place in history. I think the casuals would take to Hendo just as well if not better leading into the fight. Then of course among the more hardcores Hendo is far more loved then Rashad. The casual fans still remember Dan from his UFC run, they will always remember that KO on Bisping. Hendo would do atleast as well as Rashad in PPV buys.

Look, Hendo is a great fighter with a great history. If the UFC/Fox ppl do it right, they can market both guys on F/X and Fuel. showing clips of their best fights and interviews. Best stick with fights and trainers talking for Hendo, he is boring to listen too. I mean he comes of to me funny and dry, but he speaks in a monotone which turns the average viewer off. But you show some old Pride, UFC, and Strikeforce footage? Shi-i-i-i-t! everyone is gonna want to watch that.

LOL he ain't beating Rashad.

Davis could beat Rashad, especially in a 5 rounder. Evans could wear down if it turns grappling heavy

Which of the 3 fights on FOX will be 5 rounders?
