Yeah I was wondering about that.... Hendo hasn't wrestle-****ed anyone for over a decade, he goes in looking to land bombs, and Feijao is aggressive and always fun to watch.
The only snoozefest comes when Hendo does an interview - his fights are clearly a billion times more exciting, but his interviews are nearly as bad as Gray Maynard's. Just awful.
War Hendo, don't even give a shit about the brutal interviews because he's is an amazing fighter, a hard worker, a revered veteran, exciting to watch, and has, especially after UFC 127's Bitchpig ordeal, the greatest, most satisfying knockout in mixed martial arts history.
And you always have to respect the old-man, Couture-style fighter that only seems to come in wrestlers. 41 years old and still fighting at an elite level, better than ever.
Anybody notice Hendo lifts his lead knee up just before he punches. It's very slight and i doubt too many people can react so quickly, just an observation. But you can see where he gets his power, he really steps into his punches.
Watch the Bitchpig knockout, he does a full-on skip into that, it really looks like there's a ball in his hand, even the overhand downward motion is the same.
In the Bisping fight for instance, it was essentially both to generate power as well as acting as a faked inside leg kick; Bisping mentioned in interviews afterwards that he thought Hendo was going for the leg kick and next thing he knows, he's asleep on the mat.
Was a great knockout by hendo, but not many people realise what a douche he is for landing a flying dropped elbow onto a guy that is out cold. Classy fighters know when a guy is out, Hendo is not classy although a pretty good fighter none the less just like Bisping is.
Age could play a factor. Dan has a wealth of experience but he is getting old and it seems like his last few fights have just been him hunting for the KO with a big overhand right. Fejao is young, strong and an extremely dangerous striker. I'd like to see Dan win but I worry his age might catch up with him.
Also, Fejao has proven he can handle elite level wrestlers against King Mo. Dan will likely have to clinch up to get it to the ground, and that's not a great place to be against a superb muay thai practitioner.
exactly 3 years ago at Nation wide arena in Columbus ohio, Dan Henderson Was Submitted By Anderson Silva , so i believe henderson will win this fight simply because he will be thinking it was in this very Arena i lost my fight against Anderson so I will waking out of Nationwide Arena as A champion this time in 2011 and not A loser,
It's Hendo's fight to lose in my opinion. And it all depends on his cardio. He doesn't have to cut weight which is great for his cardio, he's just as strong and as fast when he was a middleweight. Maybe we'll see Dan wrestle for 2-3 rounds then go for a (T)KO in the later rounds.

2 top tier fighters who always look to finish = snoozefest?

Hendo by H-Bomb! Round 2!!

Honestly i think it looks like hes throwing a fastball....

Dangerous fight for Dan. Feijao has some heavy hands and vicious Muay Thai. But, Hendo has never bee KO'd.
I'll take Hendo by KO/TKO in the 2nd

rafae, will win thiss, better mua thai and heavy kicks
I think hendo is better than him everywhere but maybe not bjj but hendo is hard to tapout
I like both fighters, but I think Feijao will win. That said, I could see either of them winning. 51% Feijao to 49% Hendo.
