UFC 139

I think Dan should be -150. And he probably will be come fight time.

You think Henderson will come to grapple and not to fight??

[sbjj]

I think Hendo could beat him standing. Or on the ground. More than likely a combo of both.

Yeah...I think if Hendo can beat him standing it will be up close and against the cage, but I think Shogun would pick him apart at range

[sbjj]

I could see that happening until Dan drops him.

[SPX]

If Rich Franklin can take Hendo to a split decision then Shogun can beat him soundly.

And before someone says "middleweight" I'll point out that that fight was actually fought at LHW.

MMA math ftw.

I am watching that fight right now actually.

If Mark Coleman can take Shogun late into the 3rd round. Then Dan can knock him out in 14 seconds. It does not work that way though.

[poopoo333]

This should be 5 rounds if it is the headliner.

It's true. I assume we all agree that Shogun is twice the fighter that Franklin is, especially today.

Besides, if you really look closely at Hendo's last several fights, it's impressive but only reservedly so:

Fedor - on the decline
Feijao - B-level heavyweight
Babalu - Mousasi knocked Babalu out much like Hendo did . . . how is Mousasi doing today?
Shields - lost . . . how is Shields doing today?
Bisping - B-level middleweight
Franklin - . . .

Hendo's ability to knock guys straight the fuck out is awesome, and he could do it here, but let's not blow him up to superhero proportions.

[sbjj]

Well, I am not sure anyone is blowing him up here. The guy is the dog in the fight(at least was). But to act like his recent wins are nothing compared to Shogun. Who has looked even less impressive IMO.

IMO Dan has sort of turned a corner. You can see it in the way he fights now. He is much smarter in the way he fights.

-Twice the fighter? Right.

Besides, if you really look closely at Hendo's last several fights, it's impressive but only reservedly so:

Fedor - on the decline ..heh
Feijao - B-level heavyweight ..How can you really call him a B-Level LHW?
Babalu - Mousasi knocked Babalu out much like Hendo did . . . how is Mousasi doing today? He lost to a dominant wrestler and got taken to a draw with Jardine based on a pt deduction and horrible judging. Other than that he has been beating people as usual.
Shields - lost . . . how is Shields doing today? Shields has lost to GSP and got caught by Ellenberger... big deal. Bad style match up for Hendo too
Bisping - B-level middleweight Top 10 MW
Franklin - . . .Yeah?

Hendo's ability to knock guys straight the fuck out is awesome, and he could do it here, but let's not blow him up to superhero proportions.

I don't get why that even matters btw. None of those guys have the same style as Shogun. I could do the same shit for Shogun's previous opponents too.

I'll bet ya,its at even you take Shogun I'll take Hendo

How much are we betting?

[Luke]

TRT

That and he's more suited for 205 and was trying to hard to get to 185 .Also think Shields would also do better at 185 instead of sucking down to 170.

How much are we betting?

I was only planning on betting 100 ,so if you want to do that we can.
