Meh, Anderson will out strike Hendo. Did you not see him dance circles around Rich "now andersons bitch" Franklin? If it goes to the ground Silva will catch him in a triangle or something like he did with Lutter.

I'll admit that Anderson is better on his feet. But that in itself isn't going to win this fight. Hendo's got excellent submission defense, which'll serve him well, when he closes the distance between him and Anderson to get into the clinch and goes for the takedown. Anderson's takedown defense is good, but not air tight.

Anderson may be a more precise striker than someone like Rampage, but if some of the shots Rampage hit Hendo with didn't drop him, I don't see Anderson dropping Hendo either, as a guy who's never been knocked out, I can see Hendro taking a few of Anderson's best shots, not liking the feel of it, and changing his game plan.

I don't see him banging with Anderson all day, even though you know he loves to bang, and said he would. I see him fighting a smarter fight than that if he gets hit with something he doesn't like.

On the ground, you can't disregard Anderson's game, he made short work of Lutter and has a BJJ Black Belt under the Noguieras, but I see Hendro grinding this out for a decision, or a ref stoppage in the fourth of fifth round.

I'm massively stoked for this fight, and Hendo's my man.

I'll take sig or av bets if anyone wants Anderson over Hendo.

1 week each.

PM me.

I don't think Hendo is going to be stupid in this fight. I think he's going to try out the stand up, if it doesnt work he's gonna take it to the ground, just like with Wanderlei. As he previously was quoted as saying "I think I can take him down anytime I want" I believe that to be false. Anderson has some excellent TDD and BJJ. This will probably keep him out of most of the trouble that he's going to be worrying about, but I think hendo will surprise him and take it to the ground and finish it late in the Second.

One thing I'll be wondering is, how are Anderson's knees holding up after those surgeries? Should be an excellent fight!

Highly doubt he will catch Hendo with a sub. Hendo has been sub'd only 3 out 28 fights. Not saying it couldn't happen but I doubt it will.

Rooting for Silva, picking Dan

I have started picking the guys I want to lose to win b/c my picks are almost always wrong. To cement the picks, I always bet one them too.

I picked Timmay and Brock, even tho I was rooting for Mir and Nog.

This system has worked for the last few events.

I wouldn't bet on this one for anything. Two phenomenal fighters. Picking silva only because I feel he is such a humble guy. Wouldn't care who actually wins though. Either one is going to have to earn it.

Dude, you must not be familiar with Hendo! Your puttin Hendo in the class of Franklin and Lutter? What drugs are you on man? Hendo is one of the most DOMINATE MW fighters EVER!!!! There may only be 1 or 2 people at 185 who can beat him at this point in his career IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hendo impose his will in Anderson and out pound him, and finally get the TKO late in the 2nd or in the 3rd... this fight will not go past 3 IMO.

Now don't get me wrong, I think Anderson is an AWESOME fighter, but definitely not unbeatable, and Hendo is the one who can beat him!!!!
