I'm surprised people are claiming he's the "rightful No 1 contender".
Sure, he got the decision over Shogun, but the performance was not overly impressive. It was an absolutely amazing fight, but partly because of the beating he & Shogun took and Shoguns comeback (that should have earned him a draw). If a gassed Shogun can take him down, repeatedly mount him & land ground & pound unchallenged, I'd hate to see what Jones would do to him.

At this very second Hendo may have had the best year in MMA history this year. After Saturday there is another case if Jones wins. If outstriking Shogun is not impressive by the way (before he completely gassed) to the degree Shogun was completely out classed (whp predicted this?), welcome to MMA

Shogun was completely outclassed, for part of the fight. Shogun was more competitive in the first few rounds than Hendo was in the last 2. It was an epic fight, but it was epic because both fighters had horrible striking defense, both ended up just throwing wild punches (because they were gassed after the 2nd), and because of Shoguns epic comeback.
As I said, if a gassed Shogun can take down Hendo & get to mount multiple times, Jones would have no problem.
I also think that Hendo needs to beat more ranked fighters to deserve a title shot.

Hendo was ahead at least 4 points after round 3 and he did gas. Round 4 was very close (I gave it to Shogun) and many gave a 10-10. You live in a dream world. After taking the Strikeforce title and beating Fedor and Shogun if you think it's not enough, we'll welome to MMA. Go back to sleep and post.
