It would have been a helluva battle and it's one that I wanted to see in '05/'06, but I think Hendo takes it via uncrackable Chin.
In Chuck's prime he had a chin to match his punch. Belfort, for all his power never really put Chuck in too much concern. I think he's much more complete in his prime and would have the tools to outwork Hendo. I pick The Iceman by decision, as nobody knocks Hendo out.
Many say that Chucks chin is Iron.. well then what is Dans? Chuck was Ko from Randy and Jackson ((No, not a knock on him)) to where Hendo has been Sub. So if Chin vs Chin would have to be Hendo..and in the end I would go with Hendo in this one
Chuck was always overrated IMO. He went to the A league and got beat up by Rampage FFS. Hendo starches him in a terrific fight, not saying Liddell wasn't class. But I don't think he was the terminator in his prime some make him out to be.
Agreed 100%. The way Chuck got owned by 'Page tells me Chuck wouldn't have been even half as successful if he spent his prime fighting Rampage, Wanderlei, Shogun and Hendo (ie, I believe all four of them KO him). Guys like L'il Nog and Arona would've given Chuck good fights as well in Pride.
