I'm loking forward to this card. I like Hendo and think he is going to take this fight. Maybe a second round KO if not i think he will do enough to win a decision. Another fight on the card is Daley vs Woodley another one im looking forward too! Huge semtex fan so im going for Daley to get the win in the first by KO. Also quite interested with the Coenen vs Tate for the womens welterweight title because i haven't seen many female fights. Who you guys got?
Even at his age Hendo might be the best all around fighter Fedor has ever fought. Sure Crocop is a better striker, Nog is a better submission guy, Coleman might have been a better wrestler but Dan can challenge a guy on a lot of levels. The thing is I think Dan and Fedor have let the sport evolve past them a little. Fedor never was an overly technical fighter he was just tough as hell and found a way to win. Dan has probably overly depended on his dynamite right hand and has been out wrestled by some guys he shouldn't have lately. I really think this is a pickem fight. I don't see either guy really making some substantive change in how they fight. Both guys have knockout power but I'd lean towards Hendo's right. I think its a push for the chin. If it stays a slugfest I think Dan wins with a KO. If it goes to the ground for large portions I think Fedor is still much more dynamic and versatile and will get a late fight finish.
This is a great card!
Saffiedine vs Smith will be a fun fight. The sponge is a better fighter (I believe), but Smith can end ANY fight at ANY moment, hard to call.
Woodley over Daley, UD
Daley could get the KO if Woodley's fool enough to stand with him, but I expect Woodley to use his superior wrestling to grind out a clear, lopsided decision, like Koscheck did.
Lawler over Kennedy, UD
Ruthless has a clear striking and wrestling advantage. I think Kennedy has the submission edge, but that's not going to be enough. I see Lawler sprawling and brawling his way to a clear decision.
Coenen over Tate, armbar
Tate has a wrestling advantage and can control wher the fight takes place, unfortunately for her, Coenen is a better striker and has better submissions. I think this will look like Coenen's last fight vs Carmouche, Tate will be winning this fight on the scorecards until she gets caught.
Fedor over Hendo, UD
These two men are so evenly matched it's insane! Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler vs world combat SAMBO champion, both have ridiculous power, neither has ever been stopped by strikes and both are very hard to submit. I lean towards Fedor simply because he's ~15lbs heavier and stronger. I don't see either getting a finish in 3 rounds, and either could win a decision, but I lean towards Fedor.
I can't wait for Saturday night!
Your wrong there Semtex is getting the KO then it's back to Bamma to take of Marquartds head! ;DQuote:

I'm going with Fedor. Yes he's been on the slide and Henderson is streaking lately, but he's still Fedor and A LOT bigger man.
Love to see Daley get the KO, but as others have said gotta expect Woodley to go for the takedown.
Same story with Lawler and Kennedy.
Still I'm going with the punchers ! Daley and Lawler by KO/TKO.
Meisha Tate is hot with makeup and so-so without it. So...I dunno bout that one. ;D
lawler threw the fight.
I like Kennedy and was glad to see him get the win but I am not sure what Robbie's deal was. He just wouldn't pull the trigger.
Holy shit...Hendo just knocked out Fedor in the first round :o
I wish we could have got a couple more rounds. That was pretty awesome. Not very technical but awesome.
Well I was wrong about every fight ;D
Dan is the man!!!! I knew that right hand would find its mark!
Go usa!!!
Well, looks like that's the only one I got right! That right there is why I don't bet on MMA very oftenQuote:
