Last night, Mr. UFC Dan White announced that Dangerous Dan Henderson will get a shot at the new Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Rampage Jackson. Some of the newer fans of the sport may not be familar with one of the sport’s most versitle, yet under-rated fighter, but Dan Henderson is the real deal. Although Dan “Hendo” has been mixing it up with top-level competition over in Japan with the Pride FC organization since 2000, he hasn’t gotten the level of attention he deserves. Some might have forgotten, but Henderson fought in the UFC 9 years ago. Back in 1998 Hendo won a UFC middle weight tournament at UFC 17 when he defeated two top ranked fighters in Carlos Newton and Alan Goes.
Most recently Dan headlined Pride’s show in America where he de-throned (KO’d) one of the sports longest reigning and most dominant fighters, Wanderli Silva. Keep in mind that Silva is the same fighter that beat the crap out of Quinton Jackson, twice! That’s gonna play some mind games with the new UFC champion.

Most MMA fans seem to think The Iceman is near invincable, I’m here to challenge that and say that he is not worth all non-stop hype
First off, since his last loss (Rampage) he’s rattled off seven straight wins but let’s take a look at who he has fought.
Vernon White (a fighter with 30 losses on his record), Jeremy Horn (a B level middle weight), Renato Babalu Sobral (a fighter who in the past 2 1/2 years has been fighting B level fighters), Tito Ortiz twice (a solid, but not elite fighter. See his performances against Patrick Cote and Forrest Griffen. Also, he’s spent a lot of his recent fight time beating up on old man Shamrock, not the stiffest competition).
I give Liddell credit for beating Couture, twice. But somethings a fighter just has another fighter’s “number.” And this is the case with Randy. And we’ve come to see that Couture is better off at heavyweight, a more nature weight for him.
Another point to consider is Chuck’s fight style. He’s fairly one-dimensional and too many fighters have played right into his strenghts. Look at Babalu. He’s a great submission guy, but what does the moron do in his fight with The Iceman? He goes straight at him looking to trade blows. Babalu is not a striker. What other outcome would one expect than for him to get KTFO?

Yes, you read that correct. Luke Cummo actually drinks his own urine and has even written about it on his website. For that not familiar with Cummo, he’s a MMA fighter who was on The Ulimate Fighter where he was thought of by fellow fighters as a strange guy. This takes the cake. This was taken directly from his website forum:
” drink all that I can of my own urine. It has many advantages. It contains hormones, minerals, and elements that bind moisture to protein. Basically it is a recycling of things so that they can have another chance to get where they are destined. If you were to drink something, your body will want to excrete liquid in order to maintain a certain level of hydration. So it filters the blood and the urine may contain things that didn’t get a chance to get where they were going. ”

Just posted on the Chute Boxe official website:
- Mauricio “Shogun” Rua has signed a contract with the UFC and may participate in UFC 72.
This is far from official until it comes out of the mouth of UFC mouth piece Dana
White but this could be huge news. Shogun is the epitome of the kind of fighter that the Ultimate Fighting Champship needs. He’s world class on his feet and on the ground and has the skills to easily win via KO (as he did with Quinton Jackson) or submission. There are not many mixed martial artist with his versatility and would be a welcome addition to the UFC fans who may not be familar with his Pride fights. Until the speculation ends, I’ll hold off on my opinion of how his career might unfold with the UFC.
