[Kimbo> Rampage]

He better not do that in this fight, because I can easily see Hendo landing a big shot and it could be lights out for Bones. I definitely see Jones getting hit with a bomb in this fight and his chin will be tested to the fullest.

Id give Evans, Rampage, and Machida all better chances than Hendo, not that it is saying much, as they would all be heavy underdogs.

Dan at this point wont be able to deal with JJ anywhere. It will be a good paycheck for the old timer, but he gets picked apart standing and gets tossed on his back if he tries to rush in.

Jon wont have problems(as minor as they may have been) with hendo like he did Ramapage, Evans, and Machida. He will completely destroy Hendo bell to finish. It will look like the shogun fight.





Put your money where your mouth is. Name bet for this fight?

well is it fair to say rampage, evans and machida are all past there peak while hendo still has his power his chin and his clinch at near full capacity only tdd is down.

whereever whenever this fight ends hendo will have hit jones about as much as jones hit him, which will be very different than what happened with the other fighters. jones is going to be a bloody pulp win or lose, its time.

please one solid punch from machida or rashad does not compare to an h-bomb, jones is not going to fight standing for long in this fight, he wants henderson down on the ground and he wants to impose his size and weight on top of him to tire the 42 year old out asap.

Hendo will definitely show up for war but I don't see Jones getting lured into any other game plan other than the one Greg Jackson has implemented.

lol Hendo is closer to the end than any of those guys. He has like 7 years on all of them.

Nice prediction as well. Hendo does have good timing, but is slow, has sloppy footwork, and wont be able to deal with the range and speed of Jones. He is going to get picked apart everywhere the fight goes.

Machida has speed and great technique. He isnt a power puncher. Rashad has good speed as well and can hit pretty damn hard. He ktfo liddell and Staggered Rampage. But every single punch he throws may not be a bomb. When Rampage and Hendo were tradeing punches it was Hendo that clearly looked more hurt and dazed.

He ruled over the heavyweight division with absolutely no equal fighting men much larger than he was most of the time. How he did so was amazing. His wars will go down in history. For you to discredit his entire career by those 3 losses is insane. The greatest fighters lose to other great fighters. We don't know how Fedor would hold up now in the highest level. Were Fedor to step into the Octagon again with his heart set on being unstoppable again, I have no doubts he would have success.

Just to clarify no where in my post did I mention that Fedor did not have a solid career. Nor did I discredit him at all. I thought it was pretty clear in what I said a win over Fedor today does not equal a win over him years ago. We'll agree to disagree on whether Fedor can become unstoppable again.

No dispute that Henderson has had great fights that will be memorable. Nothing but respect for Dan. I can give you a list of many reasons that many have mentioned already though on why he's not number 1 on my list.
