Paul Daley (27-10-2) vs. Tyron Woodley (8-0)

Damn so many good fights on that card. I want to be excited for the Daley/Woodley match as well, but I'm pretty sure wrestling is still a foreign concept to Brits. I wonder if Woodley will try to make a statement by standing with Daley. Should be fun to watch if he does, otherwise Daley probably gets destroyed.

The rest of the fights should be pretty close, my early pick for the main is Fedor. I think Hendo's style is tailor made for him.

The only outcome that will shock me is if Henderson can knock out Fedor.

I can see every other situation unfolding (Fedor finishing him, a decision)...well, except Hendo submitting him.

But just the potential sight of seeing Fedor knocked out is not something I envision.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hendo won. Seems Fedor is on a decline... either that or maybe his competition was the best?

So is this on PPV or Showtime? Im not even sure. Someone told me at work today it was PPV and I was kinda surprised to hear that.

I don't think Fedor is on a decline at all, his speed and power is just as good as its ever been. Reaction timing is still sick as well, proven in the AA and Rogers fight. The problem is he was overconfident against Werdum and got caught. Then faced a stronger and more technical fighter in Silva.

Henderson probably isn't going to try to wrestle him, and he doesn't have the technical striking to counter Fedor's more explosive, but looping style. Fedor will land first and I wouldn't be surprised if he drops Dan a few times. If he fights patient. Fedor came out too aggressive against Silva, which might get him hurt against Dan. I'm not sure if that was from being fired up from a loss, or going the Wandy route and just trying to please fans with a brawl.

Showtime, not a ppv

Showtime, not a ppv

Thats what I thought. PPV would not be a smart move..

[Liquidrob]

I see Hendo working the clinch, press fedor into the cage a bit

Like mamba said, fedor still has quick hands and will get off, but dan can land that bomb, than it's a while new ball game

Thinking of picking Dan, but this is a 50/50 fight IMO, 2 great punchers with all time chins
