Thought Shogun had the fight under control. He really should've been more aggressive and tried to finish Hendo when he had him hurt. Yeah dat right hand... =P
So does anyone think Hendo can still fight in the top level against guys like Jones, Teixeira, Gustafsson, and Cormier?
I think Hendo will put in a game effort against all those guys and by the time it's done, those guys will know they've been in a battle. I don't think he comes away w/ W's but his ability and heart isn't that bad that he wouldn't be able to dish out some punishment to those opponents.
Hendo was going to get a title shot before he was injured -- he needs to get another shot before he is too old. I still want Hendo v. Jones -- it would probably be a massacre -- but it would be a fun fight while it lasted.

Hendo vs Cormier July 5th UFC 175 the downside to this fight in my opinion is Cormier will try to control Hendo much like he did with Big Country. Making for a boring fight. Jones, Teixeira, or Gustafsson vs Hendo would be more entertaining.
Excellent fight by Verdum vs Browne. Just excellent tactics. His jabs were to perfection and his movement and his defense were on point. He made Browne look silly for most of the fight.
Really looking forward Cain vs Werdum. Should be a great test for Cain as he attempts to be the first UCF heavy weight champion to successfully defend the title three times. As far as Browne goes would not mind seeing him slug it out with Junior dos Santos.
Werdum has improved so much it's crazy -- I remember Alistar pounding him a couple of years ago in Strikeforce and Werdum just lying on his back begging Overeem to enter the jiu jitsu trap.
