You want war wait until Jones vs Hendo.Jones will win but he fight will be great

If Dan Henderson (29-8) has his way, he plans to defeat Jon Jones (16-1) without leaving any hesitation in the fans mind who won the fight."With Jon Jones, I prepare on winning every round," said Henderson. "I want to make sure I win every round so there is no question."
While Henderson looks to dominate every round, if the time is right, he knows he can end the fight early.
"If I can hit him in the right spot, at the right time, and finish him that's even better," said Henderson.
With the exception of a DQ lose, Jones is undefeated in his MMA career. He won the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in 2011 and has defended it successfully three times, all against former champions. Henderson is on a four fight win streak and looks to win his first UFC championship.
"I don't plan on wasting this opportunity and making sure I come out on top no matter what it takes," said Henderson. "I know I can beat anybody out there if I perform the way I can."
Jones vs. Henderson takes place September 1 at UFC 151.

So what do you think? Can Dan Henderson pull it off as planned? Or does Jon Jones put Hendo to sleep? We'll find out for sure on September 1st, 2012 however if I had to choose right now, I'd say Jones gets the win via submission.

I think Hendo can last a few rounds

As a big Jones fan, I hope he kicks Hendo's ass!

Isn't Hendo on the downside of his career? Not that that discounts him from winning.

Yeah Hendo's been around quite awhile now and he's close to retiring and going to the UFC/MMA Hall of Fame. If he loses to Jones, then I expect his retirement to happen sooner then expected. However if Hendo wins, then he may be around awhile longer. Either way Hendo is one of the greats in this business and shouldn't be taken lightly at any age. The guy has phenomenal KO power and can grapple as well.

PS: Rob, that sig of yours is giving me nightmares.

I would never count out Hendo. He's in great physical shape just like Randy Couture and Couture is 5 years older then Hendo. After Shields dominated him everyone thought Hendo was done, washed up. He rebounded with some big wins including one big win over some people's greatest fighter ever in Fedor. And he just had one helluva fight against Rua. He stands a chance but it's real slim if you ask me. I'm picking Jones to win via 3rd round TKO.
