I think its gonna be hendo thats moving up slightly in weight to 220...

I dont think anyone can count either guy out, while this matchup does look like its designed too see a guy like hendo get knocked out silly and just to see Fedors hands raised you cant count out the h bomb, it was hendo who asked for this fight also...

Hendo showed us he had some good experience in his last fight, stopping the take downs and being very coy off his back, striking as always and h bomb follow up even showed some decent grappling and good work in all areas, so should be a great match.

It's a 220lb catchweight so Hendo will probably weigh his usual 205, don't see him bothering to put on mass just for this fight it would slow him down too much.

I think it's more for Fedor to get into decent shape, and then hopefully continue down to 205 after the fight.
 
Don't quite understand his twitter post :/ Machida said he would love to fight him and was happy to sign for that fight.

I don't think the UFC wanted that fight as where would it put the winner, if Machida won he beat a 185'er if Chael won yeah he beat a 205'er who isn't a contender in his division.

Stann is much better fight and I see the winner getting a title shot, think Chael takes this. Too much wrestling for Stann.

wow Tito vs Evans

Bet Dana had to phone call him and say I didnt give ya 500k for knocking out bader a few weeks ago for nothing ;)

Tito was saying earlier he just wants to enjoy rest of 2011 with family and not get over his head, but its only July lol half way thru 2011....

After what happen last time with tito, its gonna be very hard to say but I feel Evans more evolved and is just got a lot more cadio and is about 3x faster then tito, but which one to bet on id say the bookies are just fearfull of the Huntington Beach Bad Boy ;)

Tito gets 500k because he brings in huge PPV numnbers, I bet he is getting even more for this fight.

Tito actually would have won the last fight if he hadn't got a point deducted for the one time he grabbed the fence, it was a harsh call by the ref.

So I think it's a close fight but another decision win for whoever gets it, I can't decide who takes it though. Rashad has had a long lay off so i'm sure ring rust will come into play even if just a little.
 
Tito gets that money because between him and Chuck, they were bringing in huge PPV's during their reigns, before and during when the UFC exploded due to TUF. They were the 2 stars bringing in all the money.

Tito has a love hate thing with fans, you either love him or hate him either way you want to watch him fight.

I really hope he can beat Shad (Again ;)

He drew with Rashad in their last fight.... and only drew due to a single cage grab. This when he was fighting with a pretty knackered back, which he has since had surgery to fix.

Rashad has had a year lay off, this is the perfect time to fight him. Tito has just got a big win and momentum on his side, he hasn't taken any damage and will be in great shape.

How you can say he stands no chance i don't quite understand :/

Also Dana has said even if he loses he won't get cut, he is basically doing the UFC a huge favour taking this fight.

How anyone expects Tito to even get close to Gayshad is beyond me. Hes going to be on his bike for every second, 3 jabs a round, run run run, vaseline from Greg Ja... sorry, whoever new trainer is, jab jab run, more vaseline, points victory. Yawn.

You realise they drew last time right? An only because Tito lost a point.

Shad is coming off over a year layoff and Tito fought but a moment ago.

No way is this easy for Rashad even if he does win.
