A matchup between two of the top-10 light heavyweights in the world is rumored to take place at UFC 175. According to a report from MMAFighting.com, Daniel Cormier is Very Likely to face legend Dan Henderson at UFC 175 that July in Las Vegas. Previously, Cormier was connected to a fight against Rafael Feijao, but the UFC has apparently thought twice about that matchup and is going to do Cormier/Hendo instead. Although the report was said to be false by UFC president Dana White through Twitter, all of us understand that White likes to keep these kind of items in house until they are 100 percent official, and undoubtedly as the old saying goes,”Where there is smoke there’s fire.” I truly do think this matchup involving Cormier and Henderson happens because it’s the struggle that makes most sense in the 205lb division right now. There are a lot of individuals out there discussing how awful Henderson looked in the initial two rounds of his fight with Shogun Rua in UFC Fight Night 38 a couple weeks ago, and he certainly didn’t look like the Hendo of older for the first 10 minutes. However, what people forget is that the struggle was scheduled for 25 minutes, and Henderson got the work finished in the 16th minute of the fight. So I feel like lovers and media have been far overly critical of Henderson considering that, you know, he won the struggle with Shogun. As far as Cormier goes, he’s been unbeaten in his mixed martial arts profession and essentially untested for the most part as he’s been pretty much perfect in all his fights, including his three at the UFC against Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, and Pat Cummins. But I truly believe Henderson is a much more dangerous fighter than all three of these guys, and this fight between DC and Hendo isn’t a walk in the park for DC, regardless of what some people are saying. That said, obviously Henderson would put in the fight Cormier has a large favorite, if it really goes down. My guess is that DC opens about -400 for the fight, one which is very likely to serve as the co-main occasion of UFC 175 if that event occurs. I believe that’s a fair place for DC, but that I would not surprised at all when the betting public bets him up to some crazy number, possibly. Hopefully we get confirmation of the bout soon, because I presume Hendo is the ideal test for DC and if Cormier can finish him in impressive fashion, he will have truly earned his title shot against Jon Jones.
