Dan henderson is a beast, enough said. But anderson silva is an equally dangerous beast, how ever, Travis lutter (if he was in shape and lasted longer) looked as if he knew, or saw some sort of flaw in silva game, a hole, but silva took advantage of lutters flaws more quicker than lutter, I feel Hendersons flaws will work against Silva, I dont see the fight ending in KO or even early, I see it going the distance and ending in a split decsision. My oppinion

Like Travis Lutter after cutting 27 pounds. If he hadn’t gassed, he stood a good chance. For real.

No one is unbeatable. but with all the talk of boring fights I believe that’s what it would take to beat anderson.. He has been fighting a while and still appears to get better every fight. If people keep approaching him with the whole “make an exciting fight” theory then he will continue to dominate. I think the person that beats him will be the one that can get it to the ground and keep it slow and uneventful.. LOL

Of course Dan isn’t fighting Anderson dude! Anderson just fought! Also, he’s not unbeatable. Look at this record. Dan Henderson has all the tools to beat Silva. A second unification bout would be huge as well!

If Dan Henderson does drop down, I’d like to see him fight somebody like Lutter, Marquardt, McFedries, McDonald or even Almeida. Damn that’s a lot of M’s.

Evan Tanner was good, but not THAT good. Silva>Franklin>Tanner

I tend to think that Dan would be able to beat Anderson S. Yes, I know everyone thinks he’s unbeatable, but I think that Dan would bang with him, keep out of submissions, and out-wrestle his way to a victory. Call me crazy.

I was making a reference to how they both are known for their ability to take a punch (only that!). Henderson is a much better fighter and is on another level when compared on their overall abilities. Leben is pretty much limited to striking, whereas Henderson has a whole arsenal of offensive tactics he can utilize.

But, when it comes to Anderson Silva’s striking, it doesn’t matter how well you can take a punch, because everyone has a limit. Henderson may be able to withstand the onslought from other fighters, but no other fighter has the precision and devestation that Anderson Silva delivers.

Yes, Henderson would whoop Leben’s ass, and make a much better showing against Silva than Leben did, but the outcome would be the same as when Leben fought him.

micjasbro,
Any comparision with Dan Henderson and Chris Has-been is pathetic. DOn’t call yourself a fan if you really think Leben and Henderson are comparable in any way. Leben lost a reality show and barely beat up Patrick Cote and Terry Martin. Dan Henderson is the real deal.

There is no way in hell or the octagon that Chris Leben could go toe-to-toe with Wanderlei Silva for 3 or 4 rounds and KO him. That is what Hendo did, and I think he could scrap with Anderson as well. What about Wanderlei dropping to 185?
