Silva or Henderson?
What looks on paper to be one of the best fights to happen in awhile is this Saturday, so who ya got?
I wouldn't be surprised no matter who wins but I think Silva has more ways to win, both on the feet and with subs, so give him the slight edge.
But if it goes 5 rounds then I see Hendo winning it.

I think Silva is going to take him out pretty quick. He's just one of the best fighters I've ever seen.
One thing in his favor is that he never seems to miss a shot, so there is very little wasted energy. He connects and connects hard.
I don't know enough about Henderson though... Got any fight clips?

henderson's head is made of granite. and after watching the clip of him beating vanderlei silva i have to say he must hit really really hard. but yeah, it will be a great fight. anderson silva is a highly technical, accurate and stylized fighter whereas henderson is a very tough scrapper with a lot of heart and even more aggression. i think andderson silva said it best. it won't be a long fight. one of us will knock the other out by the end of the 2nd. haha.
but the thing for me is i really really like both fighters. i will be happy and sad no matter what the outcome. i am a huge rich franklin fan so i naturally didnt like silva at first but after all of the interviews and stuff i think he is a great role model for the sport. he is humble, respectful, and hardworking. he acts like a true champion. and so now i am a fan. but henderson is also one of those dudes that you can't help but like. the only reason i think i will actually be pulling for hendo is that someone needs to prove that silva can be beaten in the ufc. the weight class is kind of dying off since no one can compete with the guy. not even franklin.

I'm hoping Henderson wins. But I've even more excited about Arlovski fighting again. |

I'm a fan of both fighters so I don't really care who wins. This fight seems about as evenly matched as you can get. If I had to go one way or the other I'd go with Silva though.

Nah, that was just a highlight clip. Henderson got choked out toward the end of round two.

Pretty good card.
I'm not surprised at how it ended but I am surprised that hendo gave his back so easy.
Silva Vs. Rampage, im going with silva
