My opinion of Rich vs. Hendo still isn't complete. I can see Hendo taking Rich down and pounding him out for 3 rounds. I think Hendo might be able to TKO Rich as well.

However, I could also see Rich KOing or TKOing (I don't care if Hendo has never been TKO'd before, both Wandy and Anderson almost put him down with somewhat grazing shots) Hendo or being able to keeping on his feet for 3 rounds and winning the decision.


I think it is a very close fight.

[Malice]

Barring (no pun intended) some crazy submission, I think Hendo takes this...
Palhares is amazing...but not upto the Hendo level.

I'm really hoping that Henderson pulls this out, not overly impressed with Palhares' competition . . this is a huge step up for him. I'm in the camp of thinking that Henderson wins via murder (love when Amir said that) against either one of these two.

haha. . he said Hughes is now a jobber. .. Thats cold man. I got co-workers lookin at me like i've lost it because I laughed out loud


I can see how you would come to the conclusion that thats what they doing though.

I think Hendo should eek this one out.

[ILJO]

This can be a good or a bad thing

I personally would like to see Hendo continue to face top competition but then again it would be very bad for him to lose three in a row

So it could be beneficial for him to fight Palhares right now and get a W. But then again, Palhares is definetly no can and a loss to someone with just about no name recognition would be devestating

[Intellectual]

this is odd.

Franklin is getting saved right now. Hendo would have mauled him.

i got Palhares winning by a huge upset. Defnitley an armbar or leg lock victory.

I could've worded that better, I meant he is in transition to that part of his career where he ends up making guys like Alves look good.

I say they might be booking this to put Toquinho over because he is really, freakishly good on the ground, and Joe Silva knows this. Hendo has also shown a weakness to BTT style jiu jitsu in the past

[Healzyou]

Sweet fight, Palhares is sick. Hendo wins by TKO in round 2.

[Diegonightmare]

Unless Palhares has really good takedowns, no way does he win this fight.

If he can get Dan to the ground I believe he will submit him, but with Dan's wrestling I can't see the fight going to the ground unless Dan wants it there.

And Dan's standup will be miles ahead of Toquino's.

[homegrowncone]

Oh wow... I hope Dana has a couple good $150,000 bonus' put away for "Fight of the Century" cause this is gonna be HUGE.
