UFC 204 is here. Dan Henderson will enter hostile territory as he flys in to the UK to fight rival Bisping. Will Hendo dethrone the new champ Bisping? Or will he be humbled and finaly retire?



Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson

Everyone remembers when Bisping got KTFO by Hendo. After a whole season of coaching TUF where Bisping was talking big he circled right into Hendo´s power hand and BAAAAM. As of late Bisping has even said that Hendo didn’t need to add the forearm while he was flat on the ground. Although that was a long time ago, it will still be in Bisping´s memory. Fast forward to now, Bisping has the title, is fighting smart and Hendo is about to retire. I don´t think Bisping is going to make the same mistakes. Bisping has good defensive wresting and will do what he needs to do to win rounds. Bisping might talk the knockout game but do not be surprised to see Bisping edging out rounds. He will want to get Henderson tired. Henderson is going to want to pressure early and get Bisping going backwards or up against the fence. He has his best chance in round one and two when he is still fresh. Bisping is going to have a cardio advantage in the later rounds and I think that is where he wants to take it.

Bisping -5.5 Handicap (check 5dimes) Bisping via 5 round Decision 4.10 Henderson in round one 6.00

Vitor Belfort vs. Gegard Mousasi

Did you forget about Belfort? He is back and this time up against Mousasi. This is a clash of styles, Belfort blitzing forward and Mousasi cool and collected. Just like most fighters that face Belfort they need to make it through round one. Even though Mousasi can be a slow starter I think he gets the job done. He has very technical striking and is not drawn into brawling matches easily.

Mousasi -3.5 (check 5dimes) Mousasi via 3 round decision 6.19 Belfort in round 1 5.50
