Keith Houchen Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Only just caught up with the other night. Delighted for Junior, although a Rothwell win might have made for a sexier HW title picture. Â It's all academic though as Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis is coming for that belt. He's pure filth. I'd like to see him go on a legend killer run of Heavyweight fatties like Nelson and Hunt now. Book this now. Â I'm totally betting on Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 13, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeh Derrick Lewis is really seems to be making a breakthrough fan-wise. I dont see him ever cracking that top 5 but he has the kind of power that makes him dangerous for anyone. That right hand that dropped Gonzaga was frightening. Â Lewis is one of those guys where his lack of outgoing personality actually adds to his appeal, chuck in the fact that he seems to take pleasure in KO'ing people. Scary fucking guy.

David Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Anyone watched the build-up show yet? If so, am I the only one who thinks that Dan Henderson has really aged over the past year or so? Â When he speaks he looks and sounds like an old man. And by that I mean someone older than 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 13, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'll get on that later. Didn't even know they'd made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by that I mean someone older than 45.  I guess that's what quitting TRT cold turkey does.  That said, he's always sounded like even speaking to him is a chore. However, you're right, he moves and sounds like a 70 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah, it may just be me, but he sounds like he's got a bit of an "early Freddie Roach" sound to his voice and his facial mannerisms these days. Â I hope to God I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hendo could end up being another Liddell. If you watch interviews with Liddell from 2003, he was quite articulate and vibrant. By 2008, he had changed. His speech had become slower and more slurred. I'm not just drawing from his unfortunate Good Morning America appearance, check out his contributions on TUF 11.  I wish Hendo would have hung up the gloves a few years ago. He's got nothing to prove. His place as a top 10 all-time fighter was sealed years ago. He's in the bracket just below the GSP's, Anderson's and Fedor's. His fight against Cormier a few years ago was very hard to watch. Just horrible matchmaking. No one benefited from that farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2016 Tim Kennedy has offered to step in to fight Hendo. Looks like they are cancelling it altogether though and Cub Swanson/Hacran Dias has been moved to the main card. Â Machida though, depressing as fuck.
