Very nice. At this point in Andersons career this is who he should be fighting. And this is the weight class where Dan Henderson is more dangerous and poses huge threats to alot of fighters. This should be a great fight, styles make fights and these styles calash, Henderson will be willing to stand and bang with him but at the same time will always be looking for the takedown. Im couldn't be more exctied for this fight.

Same here. This is the only option for the MW division right now. Anderson has dispatched every top guy at 185, so for Hendo to step down and take this fight is fantastic news.

Like Matt said, the styles clash big time in this matchup, neither guy has been KO'd so there's a lot that can be proven here. I think Hendo would take it if he were able to keep up his cardio. He tends to gas a bit more at 185, but barring that I think it will be a crazy fight.

Anderson's fists of steel vs Hendo's head of granite

Henderson won't be able to submit or outstrike Silva. He can outgrapple Silva(if he is even able to) all he wants but else can he do successfully?

Henderson got outstruck by Rampage so imagine what Anderson Silva would do to Henderson. No, I'm not hatin on Dan but people are just insane to think Dan has a chance to beat Anderson.

People are insane to think Dan has a chance to beat Anderson? People have to be insane to think he doesn't have a chance. I mean wow, to ever count out Dan Henderson in any fight against anyone in the world would be insane. I mean hes a whos whos list of competition, hes never been TKO/KO. He's only been submitted twice, by both of the Nogueiras, and theres no shame in that. Unless Anderso dominates him for 5 rounds without being caught then i think its safe to say that Dan has a very good chance.

And you said Wanderlei is sloppy? I mean yeah he can be very wild at times, but his punches do connect, and he has so much more power than anderson does, and wasn't able to knock Dan out. I think you got your head twisted.

Hard to call, mainly because with a couple of exceptions PRIDE fighters have done horrible in their UFC fights. Then again maybe Hendo will have lit a big fire under his ass by then. Anyway I like both fighters so this is one of those fights I don't have a vested interest in as to who wins.
