I'm gonna get a lot of **** for this prediction, but since the day the fight was announced i've had a feeling Hendo is the man to beat Jon Jones. Now, i'm fully aware this guy has tore through the LHW division with ease (and beating 4 former world champions in a row is crazy) but i can just see Hendo pulling this off and getting the KO. I think Jones is gonna have a real ****ing hard time stopping Hendo (as anyone would) I imagine Hendo is gonna last the distance with him, and i think over 25 minutes of fighting, Hendo will catch him sooner or later, and i think he will knock him out. Fair to say there is not a great deal of logic in this prediction, and i'm aware Jones is a huge favourite, I just have a feeling Hendo is gonna KO this guy, And i'm willing to bet my avatar on that prediction :happy GO HENDO :happy
Forget that...IF the fight goes to the 4th or 5th round, Hendo is going to be gassed and get subbed !
Greg Jackson fighters don't loose to guys like Hendo. I pray and hope he cleans his clock but its not likely. But il still be rooting for Hendo. O yea and he's NOT stopping Hendo. NO ONE stops Henderson. NO ONE.
He could certainly sub him. I could also see Dan gassing late in the fight and getting TKO'd. If he ends up in the same position as he did in the fifth against Shogun, it will be over.
If anything that's the likely outcome. Can see Jones pulling off a standing guillotine up against the cage.
The size differential is just too much in this fight. Jones can stay out of range til Dan gets tired, and then just do what he wants with him, sadly. I see Bones picking him apart using speed and distance until the 4th round when Hendo is gassed, then he'll get taken down and RNC'd. But, I'd much rather see an H-bomb in the 1st/2nd round turning the MMA world on its head. For sure.
Thats a submission ********. I see what you did there though...Thank god the forum has contributors like you.
Huh... so if someone is submitted they're not "stopped?" Glad this forum has people like you who know things like that.
Well technically a submission is "getting stopped" but i think we all know what he meant (no one has KO'ed him) It's a well known fact that KOing Dan Henderson is impossible. As is surviving the H Bomb :happy HENDO :happy
Yes, but **** technicalities, to stop someone means to KO/TKO them, this is the common usage/meaning we all use everyday, so it's a fail IMO.
technically getting stopped is the referee waving the fight off. thats why the term exists because although you werent technically ko'd or submitted you were 'stopped' from taking any more punishment. personally i think that fight with shogun took alot out of dan and this is going to be the first time hendo is stopped. further adding to the jones mystique
