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 this July in Las Vegas. Previously, Cormier was connected to a struggle against Rafael Feijao, but the UFC has reportedly thought twice about that matchup and will do Cormier/Hendo instead. Although the report was said to be false by UFC president Dana White through Twitter, we all understand that White likes to keep these types of things in house until they are 100% official, and undoubtedly as the old expression goes,”Where there’s smoke there is fire.” I really do believe this matchup between Cormier and Henderson occurs because it’s the struggle that makes most sense from the 205lb division right now. There are a lot of people out there talking about how bad Henderson appeared in the initial two rounds of his fight with Shogun Rua in UFC Fight Night 38 a couple weeks past, and he certainly didn’t seem as the Hendo of older for the first ten minutes. But what people forget is that the fight was scheduled for 25 minutes, and Henderson got the job finished in the 16th minute of the struggle. I feel like lovers and press have been far overly critical of Henderson believing that, you know, he won the struggle with Shogun. As far as Cormier goes, he has been unbeaten in his mixed martial arts profession and basically untested for the most part as he has been pretty much perfect in all his struggles, including his three at the UFC against Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, and Pat Cummins. But I genuinely believe Henderson is a much more dangerous fighter than all three of those guys, and this struggle between DC and Hendo is no walk in the park for DC, regardless of what some people are saying. That being said, clearly Henderson would put in the fight Cormier has a big favorite, if it indeed goes down. My guess is that DC opens roughly -400 for the fight, one which is likely to function as co-main event of UFC 175 if that event occurs. I think that’s a fair spot for DC, but that I wouldn’t surprised at all when the gambling public bets him up to a crazy number, either. We get confirmation of this bout soon, because I think Hendo is the right test for DC and if Cormier can finish him in impressive fashion, he will have really got his title taken against Jon Jones.
