Wand is a more wild puncher but I wouldn't call him sloppy by any means. He lands with a lot of power on his strikes, sloppy strikers lose power due to inacuracy.

Dan will be coming in a lot bigger than Anderson and while Anderson hasn't had problem with bigger opponents like Franklin and Marquart yet. Dan is a better fighter than both those guys in my oppinion and a better wrestler by far. Dan has very good striking, wether he had an off night with Rampage or that Rampage is just better it wasn't the striking in that fight that really lead to Rampage's win, it was being in better shape and out working Dan on the ground, and it really happened in rounds 3-5.

I think if Dan can really get his cardio down he can give Anderson a world of trouble, but my prediction is Anderson will retain his title.

Not only does Hendo have a chance, but I think he will take it. I can definately see Hendo taking Anderson down a lot, as his TD defense is not the best, and just smothering him. He is excellent at avoiding the submission and he has a head like a brick.

Henderson has the perfect style to beat Anderson. He and Lindland would be his toughest matchups, IMO. But nonetheless, it should be a great fight.

Yes i definently strongly agree with both you, if Dan Henderson keeps the pace up for 5 rounds then he has a very good shot at winning it. I see him doing everything he can in his power to win this fight, he will come more prepared then he ever has pushing Anderson to the limit. Thats why i think he can take this.

LOL thats funny, "dan has no chance"... ah i got to say that i also agree lindland and hendo both have the best styles to beat silva. one reason is because anderson is a very agile, and lean fighter.. his strikes you are right lethal are pin point but he doesnt have the solid base like wand for instance to defend a t/d from dan or matt. about wand being a sloppy striker thats arguable because although he may not be aiming/hitting for the fools face where ever the punch lands it will hurt bad. imo wand has muuch more power in his hands than anderson. all that being said i think when these two fight hendo will take him down possibly at will and then from there try and game some gnp. i think dan knows though that the threat of being KO'd or submitted goin for the t/d or gnp.. i honestly dont kno i also will predict somethin closer to fight date

Silva's got knees of steel, forget the hands. This will be a great fight.
