    Who is taking it???

    I'm still undecided, and I will always be, because I have no idea how the fight would turnout seriously, I dont see Franklin win on anything other than a decision.
    So its either, for me, Hendo by KO or Franklin by decision.

    I hope Franklin take this though

    Will Henderson try to take Franklin down? Or he will let it standing, feeling he got a better chin and KO power?
    Will Franklin feel confident on his back?
    Does Franklin feel to make it a kickboxing fight where he could pick Hendo apart?

    Franklin should be able to pick him apart on the feet hes a way better striker faster,more versitle,accurate ETC but Dan has a big punch in both hands and can of course take punishment and Franklins chin is far from granite. Barring any big shots I got Franklin comfertably on the feet and unless Henderson can get him down and control him he wont have much success on the ground either Rich is good at not taking any punishment off his back he has better BJJ then Henderson and is very good at getting back to his feet. Im taking Franklin by decision although Henderson KO is very possible.

    Henderson has been on the biggest decline in his career. I'm afraid his better days are over.

    Why the hell do people keep saying this ? Since one of the biggest victories of his career sure hes 1-2 but he did very well vs a legit 205er and probablly the best one in the world that being Rampage hell Henderson arguablly won that fight. He was doing well vs Silva but he got picked apart standing then finished no shame there lots of good guys have Marquardt,Franklin. Then he dominated Roushimar Palhares behind a good gameplan and stuck to it 100 percent.

    no seriously this is a 50 50 fight. I wouldnt bet anything over 20 dollars, because I seriously dont know.
    Franklin is so good vs people who are not named Anderson Silva. But Hendo is still a beast although no longer in prime
    Gonna be a great fight

    As a Hendo fan this fight is closer that I like to admit, but with the discipline and game plan he showed against Toquinho, I think Dan will fight the smart fight like he did against Vitor and the early part of the second sandy fight; takedowns and grinding ground and pound.

    If Hendo deosn't just stand and strike, but comes with a gameplan to take Franklin down and ground and pound him, then Hendo by late TKO or decision. Also, I could see a KO from Hendo if Franklin drops his guard for a few seconds. He has the power and Franklin's chin is far from granite.

    I can only see Franklin winning this by decision. Hendo isn't getting knocked out any time soon.

    I hope this a good fight. Shame once again we see two top guys fighting after they have probably had thier best years but it should be entertaining none the less.
