Bisping would probably beat him, but he's certainly no KO or submission machine. He does have a degree of wrestling ability, though. I will at least say that he's not clueless when it comes to grappling.

[Vandelay]

I would rate his striking just above forest griffins. about on par with rich franklin or jacare

[Svino]

You think more highly of Jacare's striking than I do, then.

He would probably drop Bisping (everyone does), but Bisping would take him down and school him.

Word on the street is that the judge who scored Kamp/Story for Story fucked up and circled the wrong name. At least, this is what Dana (reportedly) said at the post-fight presser.

[Thewisemann]

I would have scored the fight 47-46. A 10-8 for Hendo in rd 3 and 10-8 for Rua in rd 5. Hopefully we see Hendo get his title shot, Rua vs Page then a rematch.

[Vandelay]

It depends on how much people weigh dropping and almost finishing someone. Hendo came within one or two clean punches of finishing rua on the ground, but the rest of that rd was competitive. Compare that to rd 5 where shogun achieved mount for at least 3 minutes and rained down punches while Dan didnt do anything. I think the 5th should of definitely been scored 10-8. Wouldnt really have had a problem with the third scored that way either.

I would have scored alvarez a 10-8 over chandler in rd 3 of their fight as well.

Round 3 was not a 10-8 IMO. Rua had plenty of offense in that round. He did almost get stopped, but I think 10-8s are reserved for rounds where one guy just gets beat down the whole round and offers nothing. I would like to see Hendo/Jones, but pretty sure Rashad is going to get a shot first. So Hendo probably has at least one more fight first.

[poopoo333]

I think Jones would beat Henderson easy unfortunately. Machida/Henderson is interesting though.

[MMA_scientist]

Oh, I think Jones would win no problem. He would put him on his back a wail on him. I think he would finish Hendo in the 1st round. But I wouldn't mind watching it. I do think he needs to fight Rashad first though.

Illness, sprained thumb, Rua no match for UFC 139 winner Henderson

[poopoo333]

On MMA Junkie Radio, Stitch Duran said Shogun didn't want to go out for Rd 4, had to be convinced. Makes #UFC139 Rds 4 & 5 even more epic.

^^nvm

Sorry, I heard that wrong. It was Hendo who didnt want to go out for Rd 4, not Shogun. Trying to work & listen is tricky. Apologies! #UFC139

[SPX]

Wow, so Hendo almost quit?
