Wolf why dont you do the pick'ums? I dont think you give Dan enough credit, it's not about what happend in Pride its about the fighters they are now.

Dan has been rocked and hurt in his last two fights and Shogun has every single one of his UFC wins by KO.

You know who has never won by KO? The man standing across the cage/ring from Dan Henderson.

Nice 1.

All this confidence Wolf has in Shogun is rubbling off on me, I'm still afraid of the H-bomb but I think Shogun has more ways to win. More weapons to use. He just needs to use his kicks to stay outside get Hendo frustrated then hopefully at some point start landing some big power punches of his own.

It's not hard to have confidence in either of these guys really, both are incredible talents and what they are good at, they are great at. I could pick either way and argue it soundly I think, but when it comes down to it, right now I can see Dan losing this.

I think if you ask the question, which fighter is more likely to get knocked out cold? I have a hard time buying Hendo as the answer.

I agree with that but Shogun doesn't have to knock Dan out cold to win, I don't think Shogun will KO Dan like that but I do think he can mess Dan up on the feet and stay out of H-bomb radious.

I wouldn't bet on Shogun winning a 5 round dec either.

Shogun has never been KO'd either so.... And really only Shogun has ever looked crisp of the two in 4th and 5th rounds of a fight.

Yeah but if we are going off the Wolfy math, Hendo has never been rocked as badly as Shogun was against Jones.

The man is still more real than the myth in the end. Fact remains he's been dropped by punches in his last two fights.

Where Hendo has excelled was in his ability to keep composure and rebound from the knockdowns.

1 of these fighters was finished via strikes just 2 fights ago, it wasn't Hendo. Slightly worse then being dropped by larger fighters.

No matter how much you believe he cannot be stopped, he's human and has a button like everyone else. He's fighting a guy in Shogun who has pushed more guys buttons than any other fighters he's faced. Myths get to be disregarded in this contest for reality. Neither is immune the kill shot.

Yeah I know, both men have showed recently they are very mortal. That being said I will be extremely shocked if Hendo is staring at lights at the end of this fight. Obviously it's possible but I still consider it to be highly unlikely.

I find it much more likely that Hendo is pretty much rendered unconscious by hammerfists after getting rocked than Shogun getting put out by a right hand here

I think it's more possible that Shogun shits a unicorn that impales Brock Lesnar.

And ...... skadoosh!



This will be the first UFC I've been to actually.

Thats awesome! Was just talking to my gf about how expensive tickets would be, $75 isnt bad. Have fun watching Cung go down!

the 75s were low row nose bleeds lol, the 50's are way up top, oh well, I've been kicking my self for never going to any of the other cards at the Hp pavillion the past few years. Was gonna go for the FOX card in anehiem, but those were even more expensive.

AWESOME!! have a blast man, get to see the GREATEST fighter fight live! so jealous!
