excellent news. I think Hendo is at his best at 185lbs.

I also think he will tool either Franklin or Okami.

I bet UFC provided some incentive for him to stay at 185lbs...like picking his fights or more money. Hendo was pretty clear he wanted to fight at LHW, so I wonder what else could have changed his mind.

Yea im really hoping he does move down, at the same time I want to see him fight Rampage again. I guess we will have to see.

Hendo/Okami would be a snoozer of epic proportions IMO. Hendo/Franklin would be a great fight. Lots of people wanted to see that one for so long, even before they wanted Anderson/Hendo.

I think Okami should get Silva. I'd like to see Hendo fight the winner of Franklin/Lutter.

i wanna see this fight so we can find out if rich is the overrated can crusher some claimed he was when he was champ or if he is the #2 mw in the world and silva is just that much better then everyone else.
what i want to know is what happens if franklin destroys hendo, then beats okami again?? does he fight silva a 3rd time or does the ufc give a title shot to an undeserving contender since silva already wiped the floor with rich twice?? they need some new mw talent in the ufc. if they waste silva's prime years on rematches and inferior comp that would be as bad as fedor being inactive and fighting cans in his prime years. people need to see guys like fedor and silva fight as often as possible to see just how great they really are

I think Franklin would pick him apart ala Tanner. BUT Hendo has huge power and swings for the fences so he could certainly catch Rich. Could go either way its to close to call...
