Everyone can be KOd.... EVERYONE. Silva is the best striker in all of MMA, Hendo likes to engage recklessly, a stoppage will not suprise me one little bit unless its Hendo doing the stopping.
Not only that, but when you add in the fact that Henderson gave Silva more fight than anyone since Silva's been in the UFC it's an even more obvious choice.
Unless Anderson wants a long lay off, Hendo is one of the few realistic options they have. I know his manager said they would prefer Hendo fight the winner of Maia vs Nate to determine a true no 1 contender. But who else can he fight? It doesn't look like a fight vs GSP will happen for the time being and most the top 205 guys are already locked in fights. Randy has expressed interest in fighting Anderson and if he beats Nog I would be surprised if the UFC make the fight, maybe at catchweight.
