Shit :( (10 characters)

[Sammo27]

Can't say i'm to fussed he's hardly the most exciting fighter out there imo as good as he is. He's never gonna beat Ando and he's got no chance with Machida either.....far more interesting to see him in Strikeforce test Shields at MW and Mouassi at LHW.

[Baker]

As much as Hendo is a legend, he is not exactly a huge draw with the UFC's casual fan base. So, to be honest he probobly isn't worth as much to the UFC as he thinks he is

He also lost two title shots

[IranianWarMachine]

shit come on dan i need to see marquadt get smashed.

[Sammo27]

shit come on dan i need to see marquadt get smashed.

Thats the only fight i'm interested in watching him in.

[Luke]

Hendo back to Japan??

[Grake]

great interview with Dana here http://www.mmascraps.com/2009/10/dana-white-negotiations-with-dan.html He says he is done negotiating with Hendo cos he (Hendo) want to much cash

[CROMSCOTT]

Running scared of Bisping tbh....I knew he wouldn't re-match him but i never thought he'd take such drastic action to avoid him....You only get lucky once and Dirty Dan knows this.

lol yeah okay.

[CROMSCOTT]

lol yeah okay.

Prove im wrong........Its clear to see he's pricing himself out of a deal through fear of having to re-match Bisping ......He knows after The Count makes short work of Kang that hes coming for him.

they are both just playing hardball, trying to get the best deal possible.

Hendo will fight in the ufc again

if the ufc can't afford Hendo who can?

Its not acase of the UFC not being able to afford Dirty Dan ....Its him asking for stupid money that he clearly knows he aint gonna get so can run off to Strike Force or where ever and make out that the UFC were in the wrong and offered him a shit deal.......I know hes planning ahead thou because if Bisping makes short work of Kang people will start talking about a re-match and Dan wants none of that.

[TheFreak]

oh ffs not another one :(

so do you think Hendo would rather fight for less money in strikeforce, is that what your saying?

and come on, do you honestly think Henderson is running scared cos he doesn't want a rematch with Bisping?,
this is could be the last contract of his career so he wants the most money the ufc are prepared to pay him,
shit man, Hendo has been asking to fight Anderson, so what makes you think he is scared to fight Mike again?

Im sorry but the facts are there .....Hes running.....He cant stomach the thought of getting humiliated by the Count......He knows Bisping wont circle into his lucky overhand right again.

[Grake]

Im sorry but the facts are there ......


ahhhh the facts :rolleyes:

[CraigSt.Clair]

I doubt that is the reason for Henderson leaving, much more likely a valuation discrepency

[CROMSCOTT]

ahhhh the facts :rolleyes:

Has Dana confirmed hes asking for unrealistic money??......Dems the facts....Dan knows whats coming his way.......I cant blame the guy for running because his carrer would be over if Bisping beat him.

[Grake]

has Hendo signed with strikeforce?...no, thats a fact, so he isn't 'running' anywhere, he just wants more cash!

[Sledge]

ahhhh the facts :rolleyes:

Yeah? Well you can use facts to prove almost anything. ;)

[CROMSCOTT]

Dana said hes not negotiating with Dan anymore because hes asking for an obscene amount of money......Dan wont be fighting in the UFC anymore the shit bag has done a runner.....I feel sorry for Mike that he wont have the chance to re-match Dirty Dan ......I had Bisping by UD...

[ShaolinSubz02]

Yeah? Well you can use 'facts' to prove almost anything. ;)

:D reworked that for you in reference to CROMSCOTT

[Grake]

Dana said hes not negotiating with Dan anymore because hes asking for an obscene amount of money....

so Dan asks for less money and 'hey presto' Dan is back in the ufc

[CROMSCOTT]

Who you got in a re-match?

[dalml002]

is CROMSCOTT a troll, or just completely deluded...

[CROMSCOTT]

Listen you clown dont tell me Dan isnt running scared.....He knows hes only 1 fight away from getting out pointed by the count.

[brawler4life]

i agree with cromscott,

hendo went to strikeforce, taking a paycut i assume, because strikeforce cant afford to give him the money hes probably on in the ufc..

and funny enough he asked for silva and when he didnt get silva he knew there was a chance he might of got bisping so he pretty much ran

i had the rematch first round tko via knees for bisping jason day style

Atlast someone who knows what their talking about.

[dalml002]

lol u gota be fukin kidding me. hendo is better then bisping everywhere, end of. if hendo didnt want the rematch its cos where would it get him?? he almost took mikes head off his shoulders with that right hand. he wants more important things like the title.

[TheBigBad]

Dans not winning any title in the UFC. If UFC wont pay him the money hes asking for then I dont see Strikeforce paying him it either

"Better at everything ".......Does that include taking blatant snide shots when your opponent is clearly out?........Mikes gameplan was shocking but he wont make the same mistake twice. .......Is anyone really arsed if Dirty Dan leaves the UFC?

[AdamM]

dan henderson - just a fighter

[ShaolinSubz02]

Dan Henderson is not ducking anyone especially Bisping, its not that Bisping is not a great fighter who does stand a chance against Henderson, its that Henderson has fought many great fighters in their prime and is not about to duck another one, hes proved this again and again and people who come on these forums and talk about him in that context seem to have little grasp of the history of the sport or Hendersons contribution to that history.

If Dan has fallen out with Dana you can be assured it has to do with several things, 1. Personality clash between Dana and Henderson (Dana seems unable to seperate personal differences and business) 2. Money (Money in terms of the UFC, of course Henderson is prepared to fight for less outside the UFC, the UFC has all the money and believe it or not Henderson has helped to build the UFC through tough times for the promotion), 3 Title contention (I am sure Henderson feels he has been pushed out of title contention infairly given his contributions)

To say Henderson is scared is mut%afu*king retarded

[dalml002]

i believe mike bisping said that if he was in the same position that he would of done the same. whatever gameplan mike has, he won't be able to deal with the power in hendos hands or his wrestling. end of
