MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR TUESDAY: DC VS. HENDO RUMORED FOR UFC 175

A matchup between two of the top-10 light heavyweights in the world is rumored to occur at UFC 175. According to a report from MMAFighting.com, Daniel Cormier is Very Likely to face legend Dan Henderson in UFC 175 that July in Las Vegas. Formerly, Cormier had been linked to a fight against Rafael Feijao, but the UFC has reportedly thought twice about that matchup and will do Cormier/Hendo instead. Even though the report was stated to be false by UFC president Dana White through Twitter, all of us know that White enjoys to keep these types of items in house till they are 100 percent official, and of course as the old saying goes,»Where there is smoke there’s fire.» I really do believe this matchup between Cormier and Henderson happens because it’s the fight that makes most sense in the 205lb division right now. There are a lot of people out there discussing how awful Henderson appeared in the first two rounds of his fight with Shogun Rua in UFC Fight Night 38 a few weeks ago, and he absolutely didn’t seem like the Hendo of older for the first 10 minutes. However, what people forget is that the fight was scheduled for 25 minutes, and Henderson got the work finished in the minute of the fight. I feel like fans and media have been way too critical of Henderson believing that, you knowthat he won the fight with Shogun. As far as Cormier goes, he’s been unbeaten in his mixed martial arts profession and basically untested for the most part as he has been pretty much flawless in all his struggles, including his three in the UFC against Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, and Pat Cummins. But I truly believe Henderson is a more dangerous fighter than all three of these men, and this fight between DC and Hendo is no walk in the park for DC, regardless of what some folks are saying. That said, clearly Henderson would enter the struggle with Cormier has a large favorite, if it really goes down. My guess is that DC opens about -400 for the struggle, one which is very likely to function as co-main event of UFC 175 if that event happens. I believe that’s a fair spot for DC, but I would not surprised at all if the betting public bets him up to a crazy number, either. We get confirmation of this bout soon, because I presume Hendo is the ideal test for DC and when Cormier can complete him in impressive fashion, he will have truly got his title shot against Jon Jones.
