I think Dan is just rediculously strong for a middleweight. I think he has the advantage in the clinch and on the ground and Silva has the stand up advantage.

I think you are right up till you said it will be over in 2 mins. I think Hendo will be on top, of him GnP-ing out a decision. Anderson will be looking for a sub the whole figh but never get it. Just MHO..

I dont think Anderson will be able to hurt henderson from the clinch, i think he should look to keep his distance.

Wow, the clinch could go either way in this fight.

Silva knees are deadly, but dans power and dirty boxing is great also.

Silva's usually leads to a KO, Henderson's to a take down.

I have to agree with you, Anderson has the better clinch (i.e. the ability to do the most damage) if it were to stay there for an extended period of time, but takedown defense isn't his strongest point. I think Hendo will have him on the ground quickly because he's smart enough to know better than to stand in the clinch. I am very exceited to see this fight. both guys are dangerous wherever the fight goes so I can't imagine a boring fight.

Hendo knows how to push into someone when they grab your head.. but it will be taken to the ground in the first 40 seconds of the fight so really doesn't matter much.

Henderson by kimura ... Anderson is an exciting fighter .. but he has been tap't by way less accomplished fighters..

Anderson seems to be improving and there could be an upset but thats what it would be as of right now from what has been seen .. Hendo is the clear favorite.

Henderson fights Wand/Rampage , Silva fights Franklin/Marquart? Both can put on awesome fights.. I can't wait.
