Rashad vs Hendo

Confirmed via Chael Sonnen.

Ugh weak I am just not feeling this fight at all, especially after Shad's last performance.

Nice

I wanted this and got it!

I think this fight brings out the best of both of these guys.

not jazzed on this for some reason, shad at blackzilians or anyone at blackzilians seems to have regressed. I still think shad outboxes him and possibly takes him down and wears hendo out which I dont want to see.

I just think both are desperate for a win especially rashad so I think the fight turns out to be awesome.

Sweet this will make Shard have to fight.

Hendo will hopefully take this via ol man strength

I think Rashad's speed and footwork might be too much for Dan. Good fight though.

His speed and footwork wasn't enough to even beat Lil Nog

Lil Nog is a great boxer...

But the reason almost everyone on here had for Shad beating nog was speed and footwork

Speed and footwork wasn't why he lost to lil nog in my opinion. He fought the wrong fight. He never attempted takedowns and didn't throw in combos and I think that was his biggest problem. He fought nogs fight.

But when will you guys realize that Shad isn't the miricle worker that you claim he is. He is what we saw against Nog, and nothing more! We have seen the best of him a while ago

never said he was a miracle worker, just that his speed and elusiveness could cause a match up problem for Dan who is slowing down a bit. Remember, you can become old in one fight

I agree killer shad is on the downside but to beat Dan any more all u have to do is stay away from the right hand. He doesn't even try to land anything else anymore. Shad is definitely good enough to move around and win a decision.

As long as he doesn't get Bisping'd

Point well taken lol.

Shad has been cautious ever since Machida knocked him into the Thriller video and now he's going to face Hendo, he's going to be fighting like a petrified mouse. I wish it was Hendo vs. Glover, at least he'd engage Dan a little.

Shad will pick his spots same way machida did.

And that's going to be thrilling to witness.........

Rashad's striking is bad, he ain't no Machida

I agree but he will out skill hendo and beat him.
