Hendricks has the mental edge. His college career, spent under the tutelage of one of the greatest "mano a mano" wrestlers of all time (John Smith at Oklahoma State University) will be the deciding factor in this "fight." The wrestling/takedown skills of Hendricks will be the difference.

Robbie Lawler and Rorie MacDonald is going to be bringing some tough entertainment as well. They both impress me. They have grown up with mma and both need to win to move up. Tough young men. MacDonald is skilled beyond he age. Lawler just likes to beat up people.

He might if he don't go broke.
Ken Kesey was a champion collegiate wrestler,...then he went broke and took a job consuming LSD fer $25 a week.
Then he bought a bus,....afterwards people started wandering around Haight Ashbury,...then Charles Manson got out of prison fer 6 months,..and things got kinda wonky from then on.
Fortunately,...Reagan got elected and every white person with an IQ over 40 got locked up.
Freedom woulda fugged up this country eventually.
We all need to fall on our knees and give thanks that it didn't.

Cowboy Cerrone and Evan Dunne should bring a good fight. I really like watching Cowboy bring it.

I'm interested in seeing how Hendricks looks going into the later rounds. In most of his fights, he starts to fade around the time the third round rolls around. This will be particularly important if GSP makes this a grappling match.

I see GSP keeping Johnny at bay with jabs. Hendricks has been reading his own press too much and wants to rely on his "one punch power" too much, a la Hendo. When he comes in hard leaning forward winging that big punch, GSP will duck right under, power shoot and put him on his back and control him. No way Hendricks out wrestles George.
Unfortunately, I don't see GSP finishing the fight, as usual. Still doesn't detract from his greatness...just his excitement.
Hopefully, Rory fights to win this time and not to lose like his last stink fest of a 'fight'.
Looking forward to the Cerrone fight. He's always been one of my faves from back in the WEC days. Unfortunately, he seems to have lost some of his aggressiveness which has cost him the last few. He does much better when he's proactive.

FWIW I Googled Fandango and found a theater that was showing it at $15 instead of $50 at home. I'm going to give that a try.

The title of this thread begs the question.

I see it as 50-50 with the mental and wrestling edge to Hendricks.

I'm picking Hendricks, Chael Sonnen, McDonald and Cerrone.

The one factor I did not take into consideration was the politics of Nevada fight commission. I should have known, a state like Harry Reid's Nevada, was as corrupt and/or incompetent as they come when it boils down to judging.
