So how do you guys think this fight will go and who will win? I think this is a very interesting fight as hendricks has crazy ko power... but gsp controls his oponents so they can't do what they want. let me know what you guys think.

I totally 100% missed this somehow. Sorry man.
I think Hendricks has the classic "Punchers chance" against GSP, so GSP will need to be careful. If he is, he should be able to wear Hendricks down after a few rounds. I could see him actually getting a sub finish over Johnny if he can get him down and if he can not get KOed.
Kinda nervous for GSP though cause this is totally an upset-style opponent. He hasn't fought a power puncher in a while, and he was clipped pretty good by Condit. But we will see. Hendricks didn't impress me much vs. Condit in his last fight. BUt I do like his beard!

he does have a good beard.. his beard power may give him a significant advantage here.. unless gsp believes in movember. power punchers are scary cause the chance of a "FLASH KO" is a very real possibility.. i don't want hendricks to win. but it's scary cause there is a good chance he could shock and surprise people. GSP has had a good run as champ and i hope it continues.

I pretty much agree. I think the challenges posed by Shields and Diaz were minimal compared to the possibility of a Flash KO style guy like Hendricks. As I mentioned, even Condit landed a GOOD shot on GSP, so he has vulnerabilities, and Hendricks has the strengths to exploit them. If Hendricks wins, this will totally cap off the "Year of the Upset" or some sort of changing of the guard type thing, since Anderson lost his long-held belt too earlier.
I am really interested in the Sonnen-Evans fight as well. Both good wrestlers, Evans could use some good stand up against CHael, if he can stop the takedowns.

Condit did land a couple good ones against gsp... i'm not saying gsp is invincible.. BUT gsp is canadian thus making him invincible.. lol j/k hendricks can take advantage if gsp lowers his guard for a second.. gsp will have to be on top of his game.. if he doesn't bring "A" game then GSP could find himself sleeping in front of a lot of people. but i hope not.

GSP will win. Hendricks will get out-wrestled, taken down and will be treated like Diaz. Then everyone will be all "what to do what to do" and "GSP sucks, all he does it out point, I hate him" blah blah.

GSP only lays and prays... no actual action. BUT in reality gsp out works his opponents, denying them to do anything and makes his opponents play GSP's game. If Hendricks can stay standing.. hendricks stands a chance of winning.. but GSP will get a takedown in 30 seconds or less of the fight starting.. and keep hendricks down. I'm only afraid that as GSP trys to takedown Hendricks and Hendricks gets a lucky punch and GSP goes down.

GSP is also really elusive with his stand up. That is something not a lot of people are talking about.

also very true.. Either way I think it's gonna be an exciting fight.. mostly cause you never know if hendricks will surprise the world at any moment in the fight.. fighting on eggshells.

SO true. Though his power slips a tiny bit over time with wear and tear, he still is a danger constantly. I think GSP has a shot to win this by sub tho, for his first finish ever.

GSP has finished someone before... it would be great to see a finish cause he hasn't done it in awhile

I don't think any of us were alive when he last finished someone. Like, legit finished someone. Penn doesn't really count.
