I just have to say first and foremost that I think Hendo needs to find the place with the highest altitude on earth and live there for the next 6 months!
I like the fight. Its the one that makes the most sense for Jones right now. I like Henderson but I don't give him as much chance as I gave Rashad Evans.
If he can get Jones tied up against the cage in the first few minutes of the 1st round and dirty box him and catch him with a couple of big right hands then maybe he can affect Jones' cardio just enough that it levels the playing field. But, if he doesn't I don't see him getting past 3 rounds.
Furthermore, IMO -- The UFC is quickly losing its window to make a super fight between GSP, Silva, Jones or some combination of the three. It will be a major goof on their part if they don't make one of these fights when it matters most.

I agree with you about the super fights, hendo has enough experience and has more power than Evans, but I will say that if it went past the 2nd round then the fight would belong to Jones

GSP is out most of this year with a injury and already had a fight lined up when he is better. That will probally be his only fight this year. I don't see any of them changing weight classes just to me a good fight.

I agree, the injury to GSP probably takes him out of any super fight conversation. However, if Jones can mop the floor with Hendo and Silva handles Sonnen I think it sets up a perfect catch-weight fight for Jones vs Silva on New Years Eve.

Nevermind. Apparently Jones and Silva are best buddies now.
