    Very interesting fight

    Hendo has been rocked significantly lately by both Rafa and Fedor, and of course Shogun is one of the most brutal and merciless finishers in the game and wont let Dan off the hook like the other two did

    Rua has looked lethargic and more passive at times against everyone he's faced in the UFC bar Machida 2 and could quite easily be put on his back and elbowed by Dan which with his chin means he's in for another long night

    Im favouring Hendo slightly here in the clash of styles, but standing and trading has got Dan into trouble as Ive mentioned and this may play in Rua's favour as Hendo cant keep taking those type of shots forever

    May well come down to who's got the most heart, and picking a winner with that in mind is anyones guess

    Henderson is a good fighter.

    But Shogun is looking better and better.


    Gonna be a great fight.

    Good fight for both but I'm disappointed that the UFC isn't putting Henderson into direct title contention after a career high win.

    Good stuff! I am looking forward to this fight. Hendo is on his game as of late. KO'ing Feijao and Fedor, he should be the favorite in this fight.

    Dam good fight and definitely a KO waiting to happen. Shogun stopping Dan? Cant see it. His chin is concrete. Dan by KO.

    Strikeforce is as good as dead with Overeem and Hendo gone.
