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.

I want Hendo to this so bad, but I don't see that happening. I believe Fedor's striking is technically better than Hendo's. Fedor is a suprisingly fast heavy weight (and maybe even faster than hendo) ,and will probably be able to avoid Hendo's famous right as well as the good left that he has to back it up. Fedor also has some great hands and KO power, and his size and grappling ability should be enough to keep him in the striking game long enough to rock Henderson and sink a submission.

@zero you might very well be right but that right hand of hendos is such a game changer its hard to bet against.

You know your hand is good when people refer to it as the H-Bomb.

I really respect and admire both fighters. Fedor's striking is quite fast and very accurate. We've seen this in his fights with Tim Sylvia and Mirko Cro-Cop. While Hendo's striking is very powerful, and basically only has to land once. Both men are tough as nails, have a tremondous heart, has faced the very best in the world, and a wealth of experience. This is a fight that can really go either way. The one area that Fedor has the clear cut advantage is in the submission department. Many people have forgotten about Fedor's Sambo. Hendo has been defeated by submission in the past. Fedor's only submission loss is to Fabricio Werdum, and I don't see Hendo pulling off a triangle on Fedor, but I could see Fedor submitting Hendo by armbar, kimura, or keylock (some of his strongest submissions that he known for).

This fight is either going to end by KO/TKO for Hendo, or submission by Fedor.

I have heard both that it is a catchweight and that Fedor is dropping either way I have him winning the fight. I think he could make the weight but when they have it scheduled for I dont thing he could.
