Don't be surprised if I change to Shogun later though. I'll have to put more thought into the fight, but when I just look at it quickly. My gut tells me Hendo.

Dan Henderson is coming into this fight on a 3-fight win streak with one of those wins getting him the SF LHW title, the other a win over a legendary PRIDE fighter, that back in the day, noone could beat, and on top of all of that, Hendo has had a very good record against Chute Boxe fighters or former Chute Boxe fighters (except one, and that's Anderson Silva) . Shogun has had problems in the past with wrestlers period, and wrestlers with good striking have been really tough for him, or fighters with a ton of heart, and let's face it, Hendo has a ton of heart. So I think it's safe to say that Henderson is coming into this fight very confident.
Shogun has avenged 3 of his 5 losses, was the youngest ever to win a PRIDE Grand Prix, Henderson has had problems with Muay Thai fighters in the past, and is suseptible to being submitted. Shogun has some very good submissions. Though he's only had one win by submission, Shogun has some very underrated BJJ. No matter which way you look at the fight, it's anybody's fight, and very tough to call who's fight it is.
At this point, I might stick with my original prediction of Henderson by decision.

If Dan Henderson fights smart and uses his wreslting then it will be a very long night for Shogun,
I know Shogun does have pretty good subs but there is no way his BJJ is good enough to tap out Hendo.
Overall in the stand up i would say Shofun has a slight advantage but all it takes for Dan to get the win is one right hand. Not to mention Hendo has the best chin in MMA.
Dan Henderson wins this fight pretty easily.
