UFC 82

Post by Nomad »

Anyone here think Anderson Silva is going to lose to Dan Henderson?

I think, as much as I love Dan Henderson, that he will lose this one. In the fight against Rampage he was ten seconds or less from getting knocked out before the bell rang. If the fight hadn't ended then it would have within seconds.

Now that Dan's coming back lighter and fighting the most explosive fighter today, he is going to have a lot on his hands. This article sort of gets the gist of it. If any of you haven't seen Anderson Silva fight yet, you need to. He destroys his opponents. Just think Rich Franklin. He owned him, bad.

Anderson Silva is the "new" Mike Tyson

Agreed.

For everyone else here's some of what we should expect to see:

Silva vs Franklin

Silve vs Leben

Enjoy.

I actually think that Henderson will pull this one out. When Silva was in Pride, he was a mid-level talent. Sure in UFC he kicked Franklin's ass (1st time Rich was hurt but took the fight anyway, and 2nd time he just got worked) and Chris Leben (who is a pug). I think that when he fights someone like Dan Henderson, he stands a good chance to get defeated. Just my 2 cents. We'll see on saturday.

Glad I didn't pay for that one. Matty had it pegged from the get-go.

Bush league that Hendo didn't win.
