Dan looks pretty small there, no?

He also looks like a dude who's about to take a serious beating (this, coming from a guy who's pulling for Hendo).

Dan's almost always the smaller fighter. That's par for the course.

Anyone else surprised that the fight poll on UFC.com has Henderson leading?

As Trigg said in the Wandy fight commentary..

"Dan's got baby making hips."

That's where his power comes from in the clinch, Anderson has so far in the UFC fought against top strong guys, not to say Dan doesnt have upper body strength, but I think he will be in for a surprise against what an olympic wrestler can do in the clinch.

Anyhow, I'm rooting for Dan, but it is probably the most evenly matched up fight for a UFC title I've seen, and should be very exciting and give everyone that nervous feeling inside. Enjoy :)
