explain your vote guys.

Cardio- id have to say equal although henderson has seem to tire quickly his last few fights.

wrestling- both are extremely good in there field of wrestling. in the fights ive seen id give the edge in wrestling to sonnen for his ability to do more ground and pound to his opponents while henderson seems to smother then ( not seen much pride hendo either)

Striking- neither seem to have striking as there #1 weapon although Hendo has KO power in his hands while sonnen does not, but sonnen showed me last night his Striking has improved, to me if he watches out for hendos left hand , he should be ok. slight edge to Hendo

BJJ- neither seem to be too good at it, so i say equal

Grappling against fence- i give the edge to Sonnen , he seems to dominate his opponents in the grappling in the fence part, hendo got tossed around against rampage.

ending note: if fight were to go down, if sonnen can watch out for Hendos left hand, id say sonnen has a great chance at winning because he seems to be a faster , in better shape, more dangerous fighter on ground. my decision : SONNEN 3rd Unanimous Decision
