Wow I thought Edgar would have been out longer than Henderson. But I guess thats what happens when you win by binging your fists and feet off your opponants skull bone.

So, did Henderson break his hand/foot?

It says 180 days OR a negative x-ray. I read this to mean, he can fight 45 days with a negative x-ray.

^^ Yeah thats what I'm thinkin.

Well if he did break something and has to wait 6 months that would at least free up time for him to fight Diaz if Nate gets through Miller.
