Take this home and chew on if for awhile.

If IF hendo were to beat rampage he would be MW,LW & UFC LW champ that would just be unpresidented

just the thought deserves a

I think Henderson can do it and if he does, he should be #2 P4P.

That'd be awesome. And forget #2 P4P, he'd be number one in my books.

If there's any man that can unite three world championships, (Excluding Fedor from this one) it has to be Dan Henderson. I'm pulling for him on this one, as much as I like Rampage.

I think just like Rampage is for Chuck, Rampage is the worst match up for Hendo. Dan isn't going to hit Jackson with the over hand right. Quinton is to patient, and technical on his feet to get hit by the hay maker. Dan has also gassed in many fights in Pride. Rampage's much bigger frame will leave Dan out on his feet by the 2nd round. I see a big slam and GNP stoppage late 2nd early 3rd.

Dan is the man already, and he will not get KO'd by Rampage his chin is like granite, he will win by unamious decision. I don't think Hendo has ever gassed out (unlike Rampage). It might look like he's gassed but he still goes, and goes tough, his huge heart and confidence won't let him stop. I do think you're right about some wicked ass slams and GNP but I don't think it will be enough to defeat Dan. As for the overhand right, well we already know that's not his only shot (remember Wandy?????)

It would be amazing for him to hold 3 belts. I'll be cheering for Hendo just for that reason, even though I'm a huge Rampage fan.

Is it just me who thinks the possibility of someone having 3 belts a little daft? With a fighter averaging 3-4 fights a year its simple maths that we'll be waiting ages for title fights.

If Hendo unites 3 belts then I believe he deserves to be ranked number 1 Pound for Pound.

Rampage and Hendo sounds like a good fight and I see it either going split dec or decision, I don't see hendo or rampage knocking each other out early in the fight. If the fight were to go my way, I'd like to see some insane slams and spinning back fists from both parties.

It might suck waiting for the title defenses, but I think it's awesome that some fighters aim for more than just the belt in their own class/org.

I guess to discredit your P4P arguement... I think if Fedor cut 25 lbs he could tear through the LHW div, and could easily win belts in two different weight classes, if Randy could do it, I don't see why Fedor couldn't...

Or if you want to look at it the other way, Fedor could come in weighing 230 and still make a mockery of a super-HW div if there ever was one...

Anyways, all I'm saying is that IMO Fedor would still be #1 until he is beaten

if hendo wins he should definitely be best pound for pound. If fedor decides to fight anybody besides middleweights in russia while grabbing the ropes he'll get my vote for #1 HEAVYWEIGHT I cant recall him ever fighting at a different weight and proving anything.
