Henderson still can KO guys like he did to Bisping. Babalu gets hit.

Prediction: wrong Sobral   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I'm concerned about Henderson gettin' up there in years.  Not everyone is Randy Cou.... Dan Severn.

35 vs 40 years. Hendo is a legend but I'll take 35 over 40.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Decision  

Both fighters have been in the game 13 years. They are both at the twilight of their careers. They both have had some battles and though Henderson is older, I believe he's taken less damage over those years.

People thought age was an issue for Randy Couture when he fought Big Tim at UFC 68 as well. I'm in no way saying Hendo is Randy, but i am picking him to win a decision in this one.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Decision  

This, for me, is a tough fight to call and a good match to make. I would be more confident in a middleweight Hendo, but assuming he is healthy I think he can do enough with his hands take the decision.

Prediction: correct Henderson   wrong Decision  

Not liking this matchup for Sobral. His standup is not bad, but not good enough to confidently wade in and trade against Henderson's power. He'll struggle to get takedowns and I see Hendo head-hunting the whole time. Wild card is if Henderson shows up looking slow and 40.

Watch Babalu start the retirement-talk-wagon for Henderson. Most guys just don't do well once 40.

This is really heart vs. head for me, so I have to pick Babalu. He was one of my first favorite fighters.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I got Dan winning this based on the the power of his right and the memory of Sobral getting clocked by the Iceman.  I also think Hendo is the better wrestler.  I thought Sobral looked more intense at the weigh in though, but he was lighter.  I am worried about Sobral's submissions and the memory of Dan getting choked out by Anderson Silva.  This will be fun to watch.
