Who want that rematch? I believe Hendo when he is saying he had problem for the cut before his fight vs the Spider, where he gassed quickly, not he was ever a cardio freak, but still. I would still favour Anderson Silva, but Hendo would give a better account of himself.!
Henderson needs to fight Silva like GSP fought Alves. Henderson was able to chase Bisping down and wait to deliver that right hand, but that tactic would get him destroyed by Silva. Henderson's key to victory is ground and pound. He was doing well the first round against Silva, but he ate too many knees in that second round.
I think Hendo can pull it off he had a great first round then abandoned his gameplan. His last 3 fights hes shown suttle improvements and a big improvement is him coming in with a gameplan and sticking with it. Palhares he picked his spots standing to above going off balance and being took down, he used his wrestling in reverse to stuff Palhares takedowns and make him pay with some strikes which resulted in some KDs. Rich it seemed like he wanted to stand and strike and see what happened whenever Rich was doing better at the first sign of clinch Hendo would take it then take it to the ground and he did a great job of keeping Rich down. Last night he wanted to back Bisping up but not Leben style instead hed cut ring off alittle more. Once Bisping made the adjustment of not circling straight into Hendos right hand you see Dan throws a couple single inside leg kicks eventually he throws the inside leg kick- overhand right combo, the kick placed him in perfect range to take Bispings head off.
Are we talking a highly motivated Anderson Silva or the guy we saw in the first round of their first fight?
I think Anderson would win again but it looks more and more like these two with have their rematch after Anderson beats Forrest
Wow many here are not giving Forrest a chance for an upset? Wow i find it funny cause this will be the third time that Forrest will be a huge underdog. He was a huge underdog when he fought shogun. Then he was a huge underdog when he fought Rampage but in both of those fights he won. Silva is great one of the best but i just have that feeling Forrest will pull it off for the third time.
im not saying that forrest cant pull it off he is great at surprising everyone,he loves the underdog role,i just hope that silva wins so when gsp beats him it will make gsp look better:good
Dont see Henderson being able to do a thing with Silva Even when he had him on the ground, Silva just tied him up and totally neutralised him Silva really doesn't appear to have ANY weaknesses anymore
Henderson/Silva II is a must. Both coming off devastating KO's of young tough fighters. It's the perfect time.
