UGCTT_Shope - I'm actually not looking forward to this fight, but for a good reason. Is it a great fight? Hell yea! But the reason I'm not looking forward to it is because I wanted Dan to get one last title shot this late in his career, and I feel like this Machida fight might be a bad match up for him. Yeah pretty much exactly how I feel. Stylistically this is a really bad matchup for Hendo and I would've liked to see him get a shot at Jon Jones so it's hard to be excited for this fight. It's still a great fight tho and I'll definitely watch it. |

Horrible stylistic matchup for Dan. I don't think he'll get knocked out though. It'll look like the Bader or Rashad fight but when Machida rocks him he'll get a submission. |

Machida is not finishing Henderson. Decision for Lyoto most likely

I think this is a bad style match up for Dan. Machidas striking is too good, his style too elusive. He will avoid the takedown well, and out strike Dan do a decision. I do see a few takedowns by Machida as well. Dan will not be able to best him up against the cage. If he can land one and make it brawl, then maybe. Otherwise I say Machida via better than Dan in all aspects of MMA. I love Dan, but matchup for him.

I believe it would be easy to say Machida does what Machida does and counters Dan and puts him down, or counters then subs him. However being that Dan's chin has held up for the most part I could see him moving forward and being very aggressive the whole fight ecspecially if it's only 3 rounds and taking a decision, much like Rampage did. Judges don't seem to favor Machida's style so if Dan can keep the pressure on, move forward, and avoid getting tagged, he will take the decision and we'll get what he all want in the end which is him and Bones and hopefully one last big KO from Dan.

Wasamic -Hendo has a gorilla grip and will clinch the shit out of machidashaveit - Remember when sokodju tossed machida in the first round of their fight? Expect hendo to try and get him up against the cage, beat him up and take him down. Hendo via decision.Sok is a highly ranked judo BB. Machida defends well agains wrestlers like Hendo.

Tap In - I'm into it. Ramaham, it won't be a 5 rounder unless it becomes the main event, but Dana says it isn't the main event. They need to change that rule though, this fight should be 5.I agree with all of this

XcessiveZ - Every fight of Hendos lately has a large amount of people picking hendo to be KO'd,yet he's never once been stopped by strikes.Hendo takes this by KO.Fedor dropped him with strikes, so did Shogun and Silva

Unfortunately, the way things have been going lately, I'd put my money on Sokodju by injury during training. |

More importantly though... Does Machida keep the moustache for this fight? The deciding factor.

I feel like Dana and Co. got pissed that Hendo held onto his injury news for so long, and are punishing him with the worst matchup for him at 205.
If Machida submits Henderson NogJJ > Team Quest :) |
