Its been confirmed that Nate Marquardt has been offered a number 1 contenders fight with Dan Henderson in England... The Source said That the Lil Nog vs Hendo fight was Less Likely...
Interesting news, Dan said that if he didnt get Anderson straight away he would move back up to 205lbs. So Will it all be down to Hendo? After all UFC cant make him sign to fight Nate?
I think the ball is totally in Hendos court. Fight Nate at 185lbs and get a shot after? Or fight Nog at 205.. an maby not get a shot straight away? Nog already holds a win over Hendo so will he want to avenge this or will he have second thoughts about taking on a bigger man who has aleady beat him?
I dont think Hendo is one to back out of a tough fight and but I dont think avenging a career loss is as improtant than getting a shot and im sure in most peoples eyes Nate is the bigger fight not just because its a number 1 contenders match but Nate is a bigger name in the US... Most Casual fans will think Big Nog has suddenly cut more weight and his ears have cleared up!
I say were seeing Nate vs Hendo at UFC 105. Itd be a great card with all these 3 on it no matter who fights who anyway.
