Aka Henderson vs Machida 5 round main. Stopping this fight at 3 rounds was a tease. No one will ever know what kind of crazy shit could have went down in the 4th and 5th.
Who knows, but my guess is that it would have been 2 rounds of the same. There were no signs in the 3rd round that either guy was weakening/showing any potential openings.
That can be said for every single three round fight ever in the UFC.
You really think that it would have been anything other than another 10 minutes of Machida potshotting Hendo?
No, the fans weren't robbed. We were spared 2 more rounds of Machida running and Hendo gassing.
oh yeah I was soooo looking forward to 2 more rounds of that fast paced, high octane action...zzzzzzzzzzzz
Crazy. You may have been able to see Dan land a whole 10 punches rather than the 8 he landed in the first 15 minutes. Wow. We really missed a lot!
agree 100% op i was saying that to my friend. really it was only 2 rounds because of the usual slow round 1 lyoto has when he's finding his distance and timing. off topic but earlier today before the fights someone edited lyoto's wiki to a win by split haha
Nobody will ever know what kind of crazy shit would have gone down in my fights cause we didn't eliminate wrestling and ground!!!
Lyoto pulled a "can't remember his.name".. only difference was Lyoto didn't flip him off.

Ill tell ya, this is exactly true.
Now Hendo has lost i wonder if he will be one of the 100 to get pink slipped
As much as I wanted Henderson to win, that fight going 2 more rounds would have likely been Machida continuing his same performance at a gradually increasing rate due to the likelihood of Henderson slowing down in the later rounds. It was as much a chess match as was predicted, but Machida was just a half-step faster than Hendo tonight.
Mykal McDerp -HYPEorDIE - Nobody will ever know what kind of crazy shit would have gone down in my fights cause we didn't eliminate wrestling and ground!!!Am I really the first to quote HD?
Saw that two! I was waiting for someone to flame his post so I could ride in on my gallant steed protect him verbally, he would notice my internee bravery and invite me to become his new best friend....but you have sort of ruined it now.
Thanks you dream crusher.
We were robbed of 15 minutes of our lives, no thanks
i thought co-mains were supposed to be 5 rounds now?
I think we would have been even more disapointed if that fight lasted 2 more rounds of similar or the same action. After the fight I actually was glad that they didn make it 5 rounds, cause it woulda been horrible to watch a main event where two of the top guys do next to nothing.
Dont get me wrong i love hendo, and respect machida, but it wasnt a good fight imo, and extending that would have been so much worse
