Machida>Henderson - Sigbet?

Ameriman · February 21

I'm absolutely certain that Machida will come into this fight equipped with an unbeatable gameplan. He trains with three men who have defeated henderson via submission, so I'm convinced that a lot of his gameplan will rely on getting this fight to the ground. Now, I know what you're going to say. "But, Hendo was an Olympic level Greco-Roman wrestler!" Yeah, well, that was ages ago. Dan Henderson has since all but destroyed his body, and his back will never be the same. His cardio isn't exactly at the level of an Olympic athlete these days either. Now, if there's anything we know about Lyoto, it's that he's got elite takedowns and extraordinary timing. If Machida wants it to go to the ground, I'm convinced he only has to decide to take it there. When he's there, he's practically already secured a submission win.

Bet?

Hendo's wrestling isn't all that great (In MMA anyway). How many times did Shogun take him down and mount him? Hendo is the perfect match up for Machida, the one punch KO power is the only thing that makes a Hendo win plausible. Machida is elusive and fast, Hendo is slow and wreckless.
