Where do you think that steel chin comes from?

One of the few cases where I have no idea who to pick.

On one hand Hendo cardio is terrible, his stand up is predicable, and he is reaching the end of his career.

On the other hand Feijão is a flaky fighter. Looked terrible against Mike Kyle(another fighter with huge power and predicable standup) and looked just plain flat in his fight with Aaron Rosa.

I predict either Hendo ends it in the first couple rounds or Feijão wins a UD.

Yep, I'm betting against Hendo landing that punch in the first couple rounds and Feijao winning a UD with higher activity down the stretch

Did u see that fight? I know it wasn't on the televised portion of the card, and I can't find a vid of that thing anywhere.

Since he lost by KO and all the people that did watch it cageside...like Mauro, Frank, and Quadros said Feijao was completely out of shape and looked terrible..it would be safe to say he looked terrible..but those fights were getting to be awhile ago and Feijao has come into his own since then. Feijao is a slow starter but he'll pick it up and dominate the fight if Hendo can't take him out early.

both looked in good shape at the weigh in. I know Hendo is getting paid a lot now but STOP FUCKIN SMILING! I remember at the weigh in when he fought Bisping, he looked ready to kill a motherfucker.

here's a pic of the Feijao Kyle weigh ins. Looks in good shape.

Notice how large Kyle is in comparison. Hendo will not enjoy this advantage.

I'm excited for this fight. If both fighters are in shape it should be a good one.

Yeah but he's never really been a mean spirited guy for the sake of being mean spirited. He's always been kind of like Randy in the regard that he isn't looking for a reason to hate the other guy but he's going to go out there and do what he does come fight time regardless of who it is.

Hendo by ref stoppage. I think he is gonna get Feijo tired after a few rounds and win the fight by GnP. I could see him slipping in a sub also.

Then again everything I have read in this thread could happen so? I just hope Hendo wins.

Fuck I can't decide who to roll with

I want to go with Dan, think this could be his last Title chance, well maybe not in SF, but you get the point. Think he'll come with heat, but just don't know.

I'm still kind of torn...over the past 24 hours i'm leaning more towards Henderson.

Watching Mo vs Cavalcante 1st rd right now, leaning towards Hendo now. Wish I could see the Kyle fight vid. I mean Hendo doesn't have as many tools, and Mo had trouble getting Fiejao down, but Cav leaves himself open to that big right.

I'm so glad I have Showtime now so I can watch this in HD. Hope Hendo has some magic left.

Me too. I'd like to see him get his 3rd major title...Can I call it major? Being the best out of Mo, Cavalcante, Babalu, Mousasi, Kyle, & Prangley... not sure.

Or does it only appear that way because Mo doesn't have quite the obvious appreciation for throwing it?

It was a close vote, moment of truth is coming up soon.

9-7 Hendo. That is a lot closer than I expected.
