With everyone weighing in on the Jones v. Hendo matchup, I might as well give it my two cents:
Jonny Bones Jones is no doubt probably the most talented fighter in MMA right now. While he's looked at as an unstoppable wrecking machine, I have to disagree. Rashad was able to get inside and land some great blows, even hurting Bones, thus disproving his almost "untouchableness." (I just made up that w...ord. Deal with it.)
Looking at Dan Henderson's ability to take a serious amount of punishment, and dish it out as well, you can't count the guy out. Ever. Sure he may not have the most spectacular wins or finishes, with the exception of every American's favorite, the Bisping KO, you've got to admit, he one punch KO power. He knows this, and I pretty certain Jones knows this as well.
Looking at how off Jones' rhythm was during the Evans fight, it's definitely within the realm of possibility that Dan can produce a similar result, and capitalize on it.
With that being said, I'm going to give Hendo an edge. He's got loads of experience over Jones, his wrestling is better, and with Hendo making appearances anywhere from 170 and up, you know his speed matches up well with Jones'. Plus, you just can't count out the underdog...
