With Fedor suffering two loses and making the drop to Middleweight. What are the predictions for the fight?

I think Fedor will come back strong and make a big statement in this fight.

Fedor couldn't make MW if he chopped off a leg.

I think he could, hes only 6 feet tall. Hed have to change his diet completely and hate his life. It would take about a year or so but i think its possible. 

A friend of mine Carlos Flores weighed about 300lbs and within a short amount of time he dropped down to fight at 205 in his KOTC fight. And hes 36 years old. Thats 95 lbs, fedor could easily lose that much weight.

There are plenty of fighters who walk at 220 to 230 and make 185 Fedor could do it but he would have to give up his borsht haha. I would have to admit I think 205 is the perfect place for him and Fejao is way bigger than he is but I also think he will never change weight although this semi-catchweight with Dan is a good sign.

It is both. It is a HW bout b/c the agreed upon weight at catch weight was over 206. I believe it is 220lbs.

It is officially a heavyweight bout but from what ive heard there is a gentleman's agreement in place for 220 lbs.  Hendo refused a catchweight because he wanted to fight Fedor at his natural fighting weight, if I find that interview I will post it.

Im calling hendo on this one.  Fedor is awesome but hendo is on another roll and has that fist that can change anything.  Also fedor has always struggled with fighters that were faster than him and hendo is that.

If this fight was at lightheavyweight like I originally had assumed I think Henderson would have beaten Fedor. Sadly, I think Fedor can win this fight now.

Im guessing hendo comes in around 212 and paces around with that right hand ****ed waiting to swing it.  It will land and he will capitalize on that.

I'd personally like to see Hendo come in around 225. Adding even more power to those bombs of his.

I hope Fedor circles to the right. Michael Bisping style. Hendo is gonna put his fist on Fedor's chin and then throw in a couple more after Fedor hits the mat. That's just Hendo's style!

I think the weight gain might change his timing a bit.  Hendo has been doing it right for a long time except when he came into middle weight bouts with too much of a cut.

Hendo has a good frame, I don't think he should add too much but maybe he shouldn't do as heavy as a cut as usual. It would only work to his advantage to be close to the weight of Fedor.
