If you notice, he's angling his hips over and grabbing a Russian perpendicular to his opponents so he can set up the knee-tap takedown. I don't think Hendo's going to "avoid" damage in clinch, but a) that's a GREAT takedown for Hendo to use in the clinch and he will get it and b) NO ONE has ever KO'ed Henderson. No one. Almost no one has even rocked him and he's made a history of fighting much bigger guys including heavyweights. Henderson is going to be hurt after this fight, no question. But people are sleeping on Hendo in this one big time. Silva is going to get thrown like a rag doll, whether he clinches or not. It's going to be close, it's going to be competitive and but Hendo is the type of fighter that does not compliment Silva's style. I believe we'll see a new champ.

When he secures the plum it is almost unbelievable watching how people of all strength and size desperately struggle to get out......and most aren't successful. It amazes me how he seems to effortlessly control his opponents in his thai clinch I just cant see Hendo avoiding damage if he gets caught in Silva deadly muay thai clinch.

Silva is the most efficient striker I have ever seen...seems everything he throws lands with pinpoint accuracy.

Silva has not fought anybody as tough as him in the ufc. I predict he'll be gounded and pounded into stoppage. Hendo is going to wreck shop. Silva has not fought anybody as tough as him in the ufc.

Hendo will be his first tough fight in a long while (I don't count Franklin as a tough fight) but if you do, then thats one tough opponnet in years. He's officially in over his head with Hendo and is going to get the SHIT kicked out of him. I don't look for this to past the 4 min mark of round one! I predict that Silva will be hospitalized and maybe even crippled after this fight. Then we'll have 185, 205 and Heavyweight Champs......PRIDE!!!!

His muay thai clinch is crippling for opponents. Just go and watch an Anderson Silva highlight video and particularly pay attention to his muay thai clinch and the muay thai plum. EVERY opponent that is unfortunate enough to get caught in it seems to have no answer for it. Well, they all seem to have the Rich Franklin deer caught in a headlight look in their eyes. It is amazing to watch how EVERYONE struggles and struggles to get out. And most usually eat knee after knee until eventually breaking free. I have never seen someone dominate so many other people by that means over and over again. I just dont see how Hendo escapes damage if he chooses to clinch with Silva. I cant wait for this fight!!! I am hoping for an all out war, but I really think that Silva will eventually catch Hendo with his brutal muay thai. Anderson Silva’s Muay Thai is, for lack of better words, sick.
