Dan henderson vs. Daniel Cormier set for UFC 173. Interesting.

Color me fascinated by this matchmaking. It makes sense, and you have to think that a win here will only add to the growing list of fighters positioning themselves to get a shot at the UFC light heavyweight title. Whether or not Glover beats Jones this week is not the case – it’s the murderer’s row that is forming a line to the throne. You have Gustafsson, Phil Davis (even though he’s looking past Anthony Johnson), and now Hendo vs. Cormier.

Whether Hendo gets the shot at the title if he beats Cormier is debatable, he’s 1-3 in his last 4, but this is it for Cormier. Patrick Cummins aside, the dude is coming for the LHW belt.

So is this a scary fight for Hendo, coming off TRT and facing a man who heavyweights can’t stop. Now, I would normally point to Fedor and Big Nog as a reason why Hendo can win, but he was younger and on TRT then. He does have the puncher’s chance, however. How incredible would it be to see Cormier fall to the H-Bomb?
