After technically being unbeaten for 10 straight years, he got caught by a BJJ specialist and then doctor stoppaged by a guy with gigantism who outweighed him by 35+ lbs. He is only 34 also. If he loses this fight to a smaller and 40 year old Henderson then you can see he's done.
I like Fedor via submission. Semtex Daley v. Tyrone Woodley should be interesting... very powerful, precise striker against a strong wrestler. Daley has the most dangerous hands in the division, but if Woodley gets him to the ground he's going to be in for a dogfight. Woodley's undefeated, but I like Daley via KO.
Henderson is one of the most underrated fighters ever... The guy beat almost everybody in his division.... He was a freaking beast back in Pride...
ESPN photoshop FAIL... check out the doctored photo of Fedor here: http://espn.go.com/blog/MMA/post/_/id/3359/who-has-most-to-gain-most-to-lose-saturday Will the REAL Fedor please stand up... Spoiler They literally threw his noggin on Shane Carwin's body in this picture: Spoiler

Tyron Woodley is the black Jon Fitch except more inactive, with worse BJJ, and a third of the cardio. I bet he is one of those people that goes around colleges and gives out free hugs.
Wrestling should be made illegal. Its really watering down MMA. I hate how guys like Fitch say your not a complete fighter if you cant get up from a take down. Your not a fighter if you cant do anything with your top position. Wow you stayed on top of me without doing any damage. Finish them off with some good gnp!
Agreed, he's severely overrated. VERY boring style, and absolutely no desire to stand and bang... which doesn't fly with Dana and Joe Silva. He leg-humped Daley for 3 rounds, as Semtex's takedown defense was superb, especially in the 3rd. Woodley wouldn't last 2 years in the UFC.
