a piece of trash, are you kidding me. bringing together the pride and ufc belts have settled agruements that have gone on for years[/quote]

the arguments between pride and ufc is over, pride is out of business, the pride belt is a piece of history but in the ufc, it’s useless so it’s trash now, that’s the point I’m saying.

Either guy is more than capable of beating the other and thats no secret. However, some of you are spouting off about some of Hendo’s previous fights in a manner that makes me believe they’ve only seen the highlights & not the fight in its entirety. I see the same thing with folks talking about Silva’s previous fights.

Hendo vs Wand part one was a serious brawl where Hendo was in trouble on a few occasions. If Wand had Anderson’s precision & patience, Dan would’ve been stopped.

Hendo vs Vitor was another good scrap & Vitor actually tossed Dan around a bit believe it or not so Hendo can definitely be over-powered by a larger opponent.

Silva vs Ryo had Silva up on the score cards & he was on his way to a unanimous decision win. Ryo pulled that flying heel hook out of the clear blue sky. It was superbly executed but in all honesty it was an act of desperation on Ryo’s part that just so happened to pay off.

I’m gonna go back & watch those fights again to be sure my opinion isnt biased & I suggest you all do the same

Hendo is gonna finish it in either the 2nd or 3rd round. I see Dan taking Anderson down and mauling him until the referee pulls him off.

i love how people always question someones cardio because they end fights quickly. Silva has destroyed all his opponents in the UFC in under 3 rounds. Why does he have suspect cardio all of a sudden? Because he beats people before the 5th round? Grow up and realize dominance when you see it.

And the chonan sub was pure luck. Anyone who knows anything about MMA knows that was a fluke. Anderson beats chonan everyday for the rest of his life if he wanted to.

[quote comment=”330734″][quote comment=”330578″]No one has even come close to stopping Silva. Only way I think Hendo can win is if he gets the TKO/KO first. Silva is just too good. Hendo is not going to keep him on the ground. It’s all about the clinch game on this one.[/quote]

So you think that if the fight goes 5 full rounds that Henderson doesn’t have a chance at winning a decision? I bet to differ. I don’t think the fight will go 5 rounds, but if it does, I say advantage Hendo. Anderson has never gone 5 rounds, and Hendo has, against a larger opponent. There is no way that Hendo is going to stand on the outside for 25 minutes allowing the spider to pick him apart and win each round. If this happens, Hendo will force the fight to the clinch and to the ground. I’ll tell you one thing though, Hendo is not looking for a submission in this fight!

Henderson can win by: TKO, KO, or decision

Silva can win by: Submission, decision, or TKO (with TKO being the least likely)

I see this fight ending by a KO standing, or Hendo GnP’ing a win or Silva submitting Hendo from the bottom.[/quote]

i pretty much agree with v mike on this one, hendo is a huge threat to anyone he fights and has superior wrestling to anyone currently in the middleweight division (my opinion dont hate) silva is a great striker, but his opponents so far have failed to see his weaknesses or have a game plan.

this is anyones fight, but im leaning towards hendo if he utilizes his wrestling and gets silva to the ground the belt could be his

[quote post=”5121″]Silvas just trying to make himself feel better by saying that handerson is not his toughest test. He and everyone else knows that Dan is a legend who can beat anyone he fights at any time,
silva is no where near dans stature. Someone please tell me who else has held multiple belts at the same time in Pride, and won The UFC tournement so technically he was a UFC Champion as well. And thats when they fought more than once each night
If Dan retired today he goes down as one of the top five fighters ever. [/quote]

well said dia mette!

[quote comment=”331040″]I really think Henderson will win this fight, and I think he will.[/quote]

Quoted this comment from the post above mine. Just thought that the sentence was a little repetative, lol, I like it.

I really think Henderson will win this fight, and I think he will. However, looking at that tape reminded my how good this guy actually is. He may not have the power of Rampage but he never bloody misses a shot when in range.

The UFC is lucky to have this fight, as it over shadows what the assholes are doing to Arlovski.
