I'm gonna go with Shogun but Dan is a beast so who knows. I'm really glad they added this fight to that card because Belfort and Cung Le wasn't the best main event

Hendo is just better overall in my opinion

i think he is gonna control this fight and either drop on H-bomb on Rua's chin of get to mount and get the TKO in either the 2nd or 3rd round!

i am super excited for this fight though!

Prediction: wrong Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  


I got shogun in this one.

I think this is a good matchup for Shogun stylistically. I can see him implementing his kicks and knees to get Hendo out of his rhythm early on, and thereby dictating the pace of the fight on the feet. By doing that, he can avoid an early KO/TKO (which is really the only way I can imagine Hendo winning this one) and by the 3rd round, Shogun will be beating on Hendo's 41yr old body.

This could be one of those fights where it is either an absolute war and is one of the best fights ever or it could end with a very early knockout from either fighter.. They both have vicious knockout power and granite chins.

@thiago..  I agree.. we could be looking at a very exciting decision or an early stoppage.  I'm going to go with Rua.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

This is going to be an awesome fight to watch but a very tough one to predict. I think if Shogun attacks early and can hit Hendo early and often he'll  take it. If Shogun sits back a little Hendo will be able to get his timing down and he'll probably KO Shogun. Very tough call imo. I would be shocked if this fight ended with a decision. I think someone is getting KO'd in this one!!

I would'nt be suprise if this fight is over after 90 seconds, both are very powerfull.  But I hope we can see a 5 round war with a bit of every thing!

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

I really like both fighters, and am a huge fan of their styles. I think this fight comes down to who actually comes in with a gameplan, and executes. Rua and Henderson have both been known in the past to just throw caution to the wind, and throw bombs until something lands. We saw this in both of their recent fights. IMO, Hendo was extremely reckless against Fedor. Rua is one of those fighters that you can't do that against. Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida, and Forrest Griffin can testify to that. Rua can't make the same mistake that he did against Jon Jones. He can't just stand in front of his opponent, and expect to land the big strike. If Rua stands in front of Hendo like he did Jones, Hendo will land the "H-Bomb". I don't think either fighter will win this fight with one punch or strike, but I don't think that this fight is going to a decision either.

You're crazy if you think anyone is impervious to a knockout. Shogun has the power to put anybody to sleep, and on top of that, he's 10x the striker Hendo is.

Anderson could have put Hendo out if he went for GNP instead of a sub.

@Spaceman.. They both could knockout the other at any time.. Hendo has just as good a chance for a ko as Shogun.

I was hoping it would be Lyoto vs Hendo but yeah this is a better matchup for both fighters. Hendo by SD.
