Granite chin, heavy hands, will outhustle Henderson in the clinch and will own him in every aspect of control on the ground. He's not going to tire out or make a mistake. I just don't see Henderson beating him.
It's not out there to think that Anderson will flash KO Dan. But I think he will inevitably TKO'd from GnP in around the 3rd or 4th.
Or decide to skip the fight to play video games. Sherdog reported he missed an opp. to meet Micheal Jackson at a Maxim function to play video games they had on demo.
..personally, i feel it was a wise decision.
Dan by KO
Dan will win, be ready to see some dirty boxing, takedown and GnP.
anderson doesn't have a lot of experience in the later rounds,
last time he went 3 he lost, every other time the 3rd round has started, he's gone to a decision, no finishes in the 3rd.
plus i think Dan will be able to take him down quite a few times so that will test his cardio as well.
he might have the tank for 5 rounds if he needs it, but he might not
My money is on silva. Bjj and muay thai, thats double cryptonite for a wrestler! Dan is tough, but so was brock lesner and he lost to a has been(with good jj)
Just hearing Dan say the clinch is where he is strongest reminds me of Rich saying the exact same thing.
^^^it may remind you of Franklin, but Dan Henderson was a 2x Olympian in Greco. That's completely different than Rich Franklin's credentials
Fight of the year imo. I admire both fighters.
He's at -170 with Bodog. If your that confident drop some cash nyga.
You can't even compare Brock Lesnar to Dan Henderson. Dan is more the veteran in this fight against Silva. Brock's fought 1 named fighter in Frank Mir. Dan fought the who's who's list of top tier fighters. I don't even want to start posting names, too many to list.
"My money is on silva. Bjj and muay thai, thats double cryptonite for a wrestler! Dan is tough, but so was brock lesner and he lost to a has been(with good jj)"
You did not seriously just compare Hendo to Brock Lesnar. Thats a joke, right?
of course he can lose but with his superior striking, speed and submissions I see him as a HUGE favorite, even though Dan is super-tough
JD.
A wise Dan Henderson makes this a 5 round GnP clinic. If Dan gets crazy for his right hand like is typical for him these days then it will be Anderson by KO.
"Dan will beat him and it won;t be as close as many think. "
I agree with you most of the time on here, but I think exactly the opposite. Silva will walk right through Hendo.
I guess that shows how great both of them are.
he could lose by KO, sub or decision. oh, and TKO/ref stoppage.
"^^^it may remind you of Franklin, but Dan Henderson was a 2x Olympian in Greco. That's completely different than Rich Franklin's credentials"
If memory serves, Franklin's credentials in the clinch with Silva were something like "I cut lots of weight so I figure I'll be too strong for him".
^^ LOL... but did'nt mention the most likley by GNP
"he could lose by KO, sub or decision. oh, and TKO/ref stoppage."
Also, if the corner throws in the towel.
Good point, although I think Hendo would fight to the death - no towels in that corner. I forgot DQ as well, though I guess that could be considered a ref stoppage. Oh, I guess by forfeit as well.
