The UFC's decision to put Ronda Rousey's debut on pay-per-view has led to some minor backlash, with a segment of fans, fighters, and more questioning her getting the top spot over the fight between Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida. One of the more vocal dissenters was a coach of Henderson's, who expressed his vehement disagreement with Rousey headlining the event, but Henderson himself isn't sharing that feeling.
Responding to comments on the situation on Twitter, Henderson said this week that he doesn't have a problem with Rousey headlining the event over him, and that he plans on enjoying her fight with Liz Carmouche after he's done with Machida.
"I am perfectly fine as the co-main," Henderson wrote. "I will get to relax and enjoy the women go at it."
This will be Henderson's first non-headlining slot since July of 2009 at UFC 100, where his knockout win over Michael Bisping came under GSP vs. Thiago Alves and Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir II.[/quote]
