    I personally feel Hendo's stamin and workrate may be too low but then again he is one of those 'special' MMA fighters that pulls it out when needed.

    Im not so sure. Im absolutely rooting for Hendo. But in the striking department Feijao is no slouch at all and has serious power. Id wager a good bet Hendo may even be on the end of his first stoppage. Although i hope that wont be the case.

    That's possible. Feijao also looked like a very big light heavy against King Mo, and I'm wondering if his size will pose any problems for a guy that can make 185. He doesn't look much larger at this angle, but I won't be sure until they get into the cage:

    When I watched Feijao against Mo, I thought Mo's strategy was hurting him as much as anything. Mo wasted a lot of energy on those takedown attempts, and continuing to shoot didn't help him avoid that knee. Mo actually did better striking in the 2nd round, when he was punching Feijao to the body.

    I think Hendo's Greco-Roman approach will pose a different problem for Feijao to solve.

    Why don't you participate in the Prediction Threads? You seem to like analyzing fights, and post as often as anyone.

    Actually, Feijao looks bigger at this angle. He's slightly leaner; and is has bigger traps, delts, and chest.

    Doesn't really matter. Structurally Hendo is bigger. Look at the size of his head. He's got that big swollen long term hormone use head. Even his bone structure looks bigger to me than Feijao.

    Picture angles can be deceiving. That's why I wanted to reserve judgment until I saw them in the cage. Feijao was much larger. Hell, he might even be your size.

    He hit feijao with that big right and knocked him out similar to the bisping KO
