*****Anderson Silva has broken the record of most damage caused in a fight
Okay, so I have to be honest here. This was just poor match-making. Henderson is a beast of a wrestler who is near-impossible to knock out, so I thought he would give Anderson a TOUGH fight. I should have instead looked at their records as an indication of how this fight would go. Anderson chipped away at Hendo for a while, then DESTROYED him for a while, then it took him about 6 mins to actually finish him off. Moral: records mean things. Match-making lesson learned.
Dan Henderson doesn't look concerned about anything his opponent brings to the table.

*****Anderson Silva has broken the record of most damage caused in a fight
Okay, so I have to be honest here. This was just poor match-making. Henderson is a beast of a wrestler who is near-impossible to knock out, so I thought he would give Anderson a TOUGH fight. I should have instead looked at their records as an indication of how this fight would go. Anderson chipped away at Hendo for a while, then DESTROYED him for a while, then it took him about 6 mins to actually finish him off. Moral: records mean things. Match-making lesson learned.
