I'm going with Rampage on this fight. I know people are saying Hendo beat Wandy, and Wandy beat Rampage therefore the math says Hendo would win. But this is flawed logic. First Wandy had the flu prior to his fight with Hendo. His flu was so bad he was hospitalized. After his release he only had a couple weeks to prepare for his fight with Hendo. Not really enough time to fully prepare for a fight. Now, the Rampage of today is much different then the Rampage we've seen in the past. He looks to be in much better condition then anytime during his fights in Pride, and he has some good people training him. Rampage can take Hendo' strikes, but I don't think Hendo can take Rampage's strikes. So that leaves the ground game. Hendo is good on the ground, but I doubt he can submit Ramapage. Also when on the ground Rampage has the tendency to pick people up, and slam them (Just ask Arona). Hendo's real chance is to just out point Rampage which he could possibly do, but thats a risky strategy

First of all I think this fight is happening way 2 early.But if you think about it there's no #1 contender in the 205 class other than ninja rua and henderson who R or course just arriving 2 the ufc and the new booty fans have no idea who they R .Henderson could win this fight with his much superior wrestling and his much improved stand up Jackson has a change if he comes well prepared for hondo if he shows up like chuck did well we all know what happened

Me Me Me!!!!
I suppose you want a discussion too, well alright.
MMMath tells us that Hendo will win because wandy beat page, and Hendo beat wandy, therefore Hendo>Page.
But we all know it doesn't work that way. I see it going two different ways. First, I can see Hendo's greco ability helping him control the fight and bringing a TKO or decision win. Remember that Hendo is a lot like a small Couture, so his pressure in the clinch could help, especially because he can use the fence now, which of course couldn't be done in Pride.
The other way I see this going, Hendo's wrestling may be neutralized by Rampage's size and strength, and the fact that he's a good wrestler himself. If that happens I can see Hendo trying to slug with him, in which I give the advantage to Page. Page's boxing has looked a lot better recently, he has a great defensive/counter puncher style which is bad for a slugger like Hendo.
Final prediction: I'm going with Hendo because I think his style suits him better in cage, and because of MMMath (which I know is stupid but Wandy beat Page decisively and Page beat Wandy decisively, and that's gotta count for something, right?).

i hope it will be a good fight, not one of those one punch , its
over things.....i've seen the silva/henderson fight ...it was good....saw jackson get ko'd by silva, rua, and submitted by
some japanese fighter...so I was surprised by his fight against
liddell....
in a fight its never a given...who actually thought serra would
take out st pierre?
