Dan Henderson VS Vitor Belfort - IS SOMEONE GETTING FINISHED?

I went with a decision, but you could say a finish is probable.
 
I think it will go to a decision. I think it's more likely Hendo wins by KO than the other way around.
 
Yeah the fans, from the snoozefest the fight is going to be. Both guys will have too much respect for the hands in the first 10 minutes or so, and then both will have slowed so much it'll be a cruise to the finish.

You can bump and make me look like a fool if I'm wrong, but I'm not so I'll bump it when I'm right and throw it in your faces.

I would have predicted a boring fight if it were 3 rounds, but it's going to be hard for them to not engage in 5 rounder. And I guarantee neither of them want to go a full 25 minutes, assuming it goes past 2 rounds I think somebody will be looking for a finish midway through the fight.
 
I think there's around an 80% chance of a finish. I don't see Vitor being able to take an H-Bomb, and I'm not sure Hendo(at this stage of his life and career) could take a head kick from hell followed by a GNP flurry. I've got

The more I think about it, the more I think Hendo is going to retire after this fight.

Belfort by TKO in the 2nd or 3rd.
 
Would be an epic win for whoever finishes this fight. But it's gonna be a UD. If it goes 2 rounds then I for sure seeing it going all 5 with both fighters gassing. Hendo fights better gassed than Belfort.
 
I hope Dan KOs Vitor back into reality, but I feel like it's going to be a decision.

EDIT: And people saying Vitor 3rd round KO—they'll have to basically stare at each other until it happens because I can't see Vitor fighting 2 hard rounds and having the energy to KO Dan 'Fackin' Henderson with the exploitable cardio Vitor's shown throughout his career. I mean anything's possible, but it just seems unlikely. Dan's chin doesn't even have to be talked up. If Vitor gets a stoppage, seems like it would have to be early on.
 
I think it will be a boring fight, and old man Hendo will get "finished" with an underwhelming flurry of punches.
 
The fact there are a very significant number of fans actually choosing Vitor as the one to get the finish?

Well, I think that's all you need to know about the state of MMA fans.

They know that anyone can be finished in this sport and also take recent performances and age into account?
