    This fight is already exciting, but it would be one thousand times better if it was in Japan.

    Sure, he's lost to Nogeuira twice via armbar and lost to Wandy but he did take Silva farther than anyone but me. He has come a long way. Rua is a but on the windshield of Dan's trip to the title shot.

    IDK....a butt on a windshield? That would definitely tear up a set of wipers.

    You need to read my posts after JDS's win. I gave kudos and acknowledged that American wrestlers have not done well against Brasilian fighters recently, with the exception of Jones vs Rua. I think it is fair to say that Brasil and America are two of the strongest countries in MMA and so there is a natural rivalry.



    I don't hate anyone. I am passionate and many might say I have a big mouth. I am annoyed that as Anderson Silva's biggest threat and the fight the public most wants to see I can't get a fight. BJ got a rematch. Gray got a rematch. I deserve a rematch but Anderson is afraid. I understand that. But it is annoying and so I tend to speak my mind.



    There are 15.44 Troy ounces per pound of gold. At $1760.00 per ounce, and 12 pounds of gold per belt, Anderson has $97,059.36 of mine and I want it.

    i think silva will get you in the 3rd. hes too smart and now that you met in the cage once he knows you. you did but the worst pounding on him he has seen but to pull out a win like that after a beating like that isnt luck. its skill and i do think that you are the second best out there as long as silva is around.

    Yea I doubt it too. Hendo has one of the best chins in MMA. I see Hendo getting the knockout in this one.

    He will be the first to TKO him not out cold though.



    Shogun via TKO (Knees and Punches) Round 2.



    If it goes to the later rounds however; Hendo will KO him or win a UD.

    I don't know who to go with on this one because both guys are so dangerous and aggressive in their attacks. I have both of these guys in my stable of Favorite fighters; so I guess I will just ride it out and see. If it comes down to it, I guess I'd like to see Dan win so that he can have another title run now that he's back in the UFC.
