Dan Henderson believes Fedor Emelianenko was "lacking" in his last two fights
Posted on July 23, 2011, 02:32 PM by Joey SantosusStirkeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson, who will go head to head with fellow MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko on July 30th, discusses his opponent, as well as his expectations for his fighting future. "Hendo" says he believes Emelianenko was lacking something in his last two fights and hopes he gets to face the Fedor of past greatness.
"(In Fedor's last two fights) I think something in there was lacking with him. I think he's probably re-motivated, or I hope he is. I'd like to fight the Fedor that we all knew that was great. So, I hope he comes in shape... He's wild with his punches. A lot of times he'll catch you, he'll catch guys with wild punches, but it also leaves him open quite a bit as well. So, I want to make sure I capitalize on that and really get in there and wear him out."

Sounds like Hendo's going in there looking to use technical boxing skills......I give him 4 minutes before he throws the H bomb haha.
haha my thoughts exactly
As much as I love watching Fedor swing for the fences, which what he seems to have been doing for the past 5 fights. He's got the size advantage, he should take it to the ground, where he's got the weight and submission advantage.
Sorry to say, but Hendo's only way of winning this is to land that H Bomb FLUSH, tip of the chin. Fedor has a beast chin. That's the only way Dan's going to win. For Silva to lay that beat down on Fedor and not KO him or stop him (doc did) says a lot about the type of damage Dan's going to have to dish out.
Fedor's going to land a few of those wild punches and KO Dan. Basically, it comes down to who can land their nuke first.
WTF people talk about fedor getting KTFO
Fedor have better and FASTER boxing skill set than Dan
Nobody can knock him out
He will put Dan down after throwing some wild punches and rape him in his guard or subb him quickly
