I actually think Silva is the best pound for pound right now in the UFC. However I only say this because the UFC does not have a Bantam weight class. Because I think the very best fighter in the world right now and I am including Fedor in this analysis, is actually Uriah Faber. He fights outta the WEC and he is the complete package. Power, striking, Submissions, technique, chin, speed and over all game. Silva is a great fighter but has a suspect chin..But you gotta hit it first LOL....Rich Franklin is prolly a top 3 fighter in the world today at this weight and Silva made him look less then ordinary twice. This is not boxing guys nobody will ever go undefeated for their career.
Henderson did lose his last fight with Jackson many have, he's good. But Henderson has fought in the UFC and will not have the issues other K-1 douches do when they get into a real fight in a real arena
I always loved Fedor and many times I wish he and I could have gone a few rounds..Cause I respect his game..But when he pussied out and chose to not sign with the UFC to avoid having to fight Randy Couture, I lost respect for him greatly. Yeah Randy lost twice by knockout to Chuck...But having trained with him for many years as a heavyweight Randy at 40 something could dominate the Heavyweight ranks for years to come. For the same reason he lost to chuck at the lower weight....It's about speed and speed translates into massive power and you can't deal with a guy that is much faster and constantly takes you out of your game in that weight class anyway.
Henderson I believe can and will beat Silva...The guy can take a punch or kick like no other fighter I have seen...He's been in many wars over the years and destroyed Wanderlei...Silva can submit Hendu on the ground fo sho...But the power Hendu has I believe will over come Silva in round 3. That's my prediction and my .02 cents
