Bones is a kid. Hendo is going to smash Shogun, I don't even know why he is the underdog. I laughed when people said Fedor would beat him. They are just giving him an easy one for his return fight.

@shields since when does shogun complain about the judges? only thing i can think of was the first machida fight... when it seemed pretty clear he won the fight.

I really don't see how Hendo will lose this. If he seriously opened as an underdog you should bet the house on him.
Shogun cannot knock him out, and anytime Hendo wants he can take Shogun down. Hendo by decision or possible KO.

Pretty pumped for this fight. I don't think Shogun has the power to KO Hendo. But I think if he uses his speed advantage he could outpoint him. Will be a sweet butt fight.

I have Shogun by outclassing Hendo on the feet. I like both guys but Im more of a Shogun fan and I think hes a better fighter. Hendo has been relying on his right hand too much lately.

I agree with your conclusion, but your reasoning sucks.

Like @LoneRonin said, if Hendo doesnt mix up takedowns with his H-Bomb he will lose

@justynbomar, I believe there are other ways to win besides stoppage. Yes, Hendo is super tough, but just because he doesn't get finished doesn't mean he won't lose. He for sure has the power advantage over Rua, but like @loneronin was saying, Hendo has really been relying too much on his right hand lately. Yes he's knocked out his last 3 opponents, but let's be honest, two of them are past their prime (Babalu and Fedor.) If they both show up in great shape I think this could be the fight of the year. I am very excited for this scrap, and just knowing that Hendo does have that one punch KO power always makes his fights interesting!

@Justyn if you look back a little further you'll see that Hendo went to a decision against Palhares and Franklin. Neither of which I consider to be as good as Shogun
