can dan henderson beat anderson silva

i am a huge dan fan and have been wishing he would drop to 185 to challenge for the middleweight belt... but after seeing silva fight the last few fights... he seems to be very much on top of his game... his strikes are so calculated and accurate... i would love to see dan henderson tear his head off but can he do it... tell me your thoughts....

Henderson and maybe Kang or Lawler are the only guys who could hang with Silva. IMO

I disagree with Lawler, but I agree with Kang and Henderson, I think Lindland would beat him too.

Lindland would get murdered... the guy got ktfo by Terrell after all... Lawler is getting better and better and Dan is a very strong grappler so he could probably get/hold Anderson down.

Lindland's jaw is more fragile than a glass vase. He'd get destroyed by the first punch or knee thrown.

ROFL. Lawler doesn't have a chance against Silva.

Hendo does, I think Hendo would beat Silva pretty decisively. I like Hendo and Anderson about the same but I think Hendo is just too much for Silva.

Yes. If Rampage and Wandy didn't knock Hendo out. Silva isn't going to do it. Hendo takes it to the ground and lands some solid shots on the feet. Decision for Hendo.
