´First I want to say that im neither a fedor nor a hendo fan, in fact, as a Brazilian, it took a lot of time to come to give them the respect they deserve, since they owned so many Brazilian legends, but nonetheless, these are two legends of the sport.
Dan Henderson is a legend, anyweight anytime, adamantium chin, and an H BOMB in his right hand, hendo has never refused a fight, and hes one of the all time greats, hes riding a momentum since he lost to shields, he now captured the Strikeforce LHW championship from dangerous Black House fighter, Rafael Feijao by HBomb KO in the third, and at 40 seems to still be as good as always.
And theres Fedor, some people think he was the best fighter in the world not long ago, hes certainly a legend, going 31-0 and dominating everyone, defeating all the styles, and beating opponents much bigger than him, but it seems that the competition has catched up, and Bigfoot Silva gave fedor his first beating followed by a loss knocking him out of the SF HW GP
With Fedor out of the GP, and no clear SF LHW contender, the super fight was a no brainer.
Im very hyped, I just want it to be an excelent war between two legends.
This fight has the potential to be so good it's unreal. I think one of the most interesting things is the fact that Henderson, a career middleweight, is not going to be much smaller than Fedor, the heavyweight. I really don't know who to pick for this one, but my gut is telling me that Fedor is going to take it in a razer close fight and barely submit hendo.
I really think Fedor lost vs Werdum due to slightly bad luck/being a retard. I think he lost to Silva because he was so much smaller, literally David vs Goliath(bigfoot is a giant). This isn't like the old days when Fedor beat Hong Man Choi and that other big fat guy. Those guys were big, but not very good; unlike Bigfoot(he is Brazil afterall).
That said, I'm looking forward to any Fedor fight. I've never actually been impressed by Hendo from the few recent fights I've seen of him. What do you think are hendo's best recent victories(past 3 years or so)?

Well, see his fight vs Feijao, vs Palhares and against Wanderlei in pride for the championship
I want to like fedor but really he never fought anyone that good so I think he got over hyped. Henderson and fedor are both class acts and I'd have to take henderson but I can't wait to see the fight.

Fedor lost 5kgs for him to fight against middleweight. I've seen a documentary on him preparing for this fight and it looks promising. Fedor doesnt stop that is for sure. I'm really hyped.
