    Here's hoping Henderson takes his head off....

    You know what's crazy with Rashad Evans? He literally provokes no emotional response from me whatsoever of any kind.

    When he's fighting I literally don't care if he wins or loses, when he's being interviewed I don't really care to listen, and I don't really like or dislike him.

    He just provokes no response from me.

    I can't say the same. He and Ricky Hatton are my favourite fightrs that i love to smash up on FN3 and UFC Undisputed. The guy is horribly overrated. He should change his nickname to sour. As he's about as sweet as a **** stew.

    I used to be a big Ricky Hatton fan back in the day, until I realised that he wasn't quite the person he made himself out to be.

    Still a fan of his, but that emotional involvement you have to your real favourite fighters is long gone.

    Anyway, in regards to this fight, What I think will happen is Rashad will circle him and throw pitter patter punches, avoid exchanges and win a boring decision.

    What I hope happens is this on Rashad's chin

    I think its possible Rashad might do alittle bit more early on and have an advantage going into the 3rd just because of his speed. That said Rashad many times even in slow paced fights slows down by the 3rd round, he waste so many energy by just bouncing around and throwing his hands all over the place like a jackass. See the Rampage and Thiago Silva Fights. Difference is Hendo doesn't have pathetic cardio like those two fighters and I expect him to take Rashad's head off.

    Hendo can certainly knock him the **** out if Rashad fights the way he did against nog. But I think he'll wrestle****/wall and stall/dance his way to a boring decision.

    Evans is excellent at neutralizing his opponents, especially if he can outwrestle them(see Rampage). Hendo is inconsistent in his wrestling ability. He might completely overpower and embarrass an opponent in his ability to wrestle them especially with his greco skills. Next fight he might be wrestle ****ed by an opponent who isn't much better than him. His standup allows him to be extremely dangerous as he has learned to land the 1 punch that anyone and everyone knows he is going to throw.

    I'll pick Evans, but I would LOVE to see Hendo absolutely decapitate him. We'll see. Love seeing Hendo succeed.

    Hendo is an idiot. Rashad wins this easily.
