Interesting

This will be an interesting fight to say the least. I think that when it come down to it, this fight will be decided based off who comes into the camp in better shape. We saw in the first fight that skill-wise these guys are almost equal, and to be honest neither of them has significantly improved since that fight so we just have to judge it based off of their fitness coming into the fight.

Prediction: wrong Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Hendo is rather old, I think he should think about his health. Doesn`t excite for what fight. Why they can thorw him right into the fire? Just give him a Perosh`s level  oponnet.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Decision  

Vitor,Machida and Rashad would all beat Shogun too. Looks like a lot of people are looking at this with the logic of "this guy won his last fight while the other didn't, therefore Fighter A should win.

Hendo has slowed down considerably since their last fight. I don't think it will be anywhere near that last fight.

If Hendo loses this one , I think he should hang the gloves. The contract wont be any better with him losing, so I dont think he and the UFC will get on even terms about the new contract.

Would be a shame to see him in other promotions too, especially Bellator. He was a legend and legends should go away from the top level, not after getting beat by random dudes in smaller promotions

Will Henderson's age finally be a factror in this fight? Is he thinking about retiring since he will no longer be able to ue TRT after this fight?

Henderson needs to call it quits. The guy will retire with a record of 30-24. Hopefully once Shogun finishes him, he atleast considers it.

I've always liked Hendo but i think Rua will finish this one easily in the 3rd or 4th round over a gassed Hendo

Prediction: wrong Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

The first fight was close (I scored it a draw) but Shogun literally had no head movement or footwork in their first fight. I think if Shogun goes with the plan he had against Chuck Liddell he will KO Hendo and if that happens I hope Dan retires. It's crazy that Dan might not get into the UFC HOF but Bonnar and Griffin are. I do love this fight but there's a reason they put this in Brazil, to give Shogun a showcase fight against a PRIDE rival.

P.S. Shogun doesn't lose rematches, so there's that variable as well.
