    I wouldn't say that at all, he's just been hampered by serious injuries. I mean he defeated Machida twice (yes he did), got wrecked by Jones (but Jones is unstoppable now) and knocked out Forrest with ease. He's also still relatively young at 29.

    i feel for shogun but at some point his chronic knee problems need to be factored in what is the point of fighting if you cant walk when you are older

    He's young in terms of actual age but in terms of fighters age he's had a lot of fights and his knees are pretty shot hence the decline as others mentioned. He looked like crap against Jones and not just cause Jones was that dominant but he didn't look the same. I think he looked bad in his fight against Griffin too but Griffin is a joke.

    I sound like a hypocrite by saying Rua is old compared to Hendo because Hendo is not only a lot older but he has even more miles on him but his case is extremely rare. He's never had any serious injuries and his chin is made of granite.

    I'm expecting a good fight but I think Henderson is going to land an H-bomb and put Rua to sleep.

    Shogun via 2nd knockout. Hendo lost to freakin Jake shields a little over a year ago.

    Pumped for this card

    -Kampman vs Story should be great
    -Excited to see Cung Le's kicks vs Silva a guy who likes to come forward and throw punches in bunches...no way this isin't going to end in a knockout
    -Faber/Bowles should be interesting and honestly either guy fighting Cruz next would be awesome
    -Can't go wrong w/ Shogun/Hendo
