Is it at all possible to keep a seat warm for me until after the Hendo fight? (Win or Lose)
I can't bring myself to cheer against Dangerous Decision Dan Hollywood Henderson, he has too many conflicting nicknames for me to turn on him now.

How can I hold a grudge against the guy on the other nut.
Seriously though, he's definitely subbing Dan. |

Wow I wasnt believing in the Palhares hype straight away but after seeing how he handled Negao who has good BJJ like that and Salvarry who has also been known for a good ground game I have to admit I like this guy and he could cause an upset against Henderson. He also has very good takedowns that at first I thought were over-rated (Until I saw the Negao fight).
I hope Henderson has done his research and realised this guy is the real deal because he could lose this fight quite easily.
I am on the Palhares bandwagon  .
EDIT: Just saw the Acacio fight and it just made me realise even more that this guy is the real deal. Palhares' stand up looked decent aswell.
Link to the fight if you havent seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is17Px2NVfM

Seriosuly Palhares has three leglock wins in a row, they are all identical, they are heel hooks and he used all of them to win a tournament. He tapped 2 guys one night with the same leg lock...
The Rousimar bandwagon more and more looks like agreat bandwagon.
Here's the 3rd leglock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG8crRAgd-o
He has a 4th heel hook as well which is a TKO (busted up knee) victory for Palhares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlFux...eature=related
Someone on YouTube dubbed Palhares the "Godfather of leglocks".
I chose to dub his signature submission instead: The "Torque-ino"

One thing though: Let's say Palhares subs Hendo with ease, would he fight Anderson Silva? BTT and Blackhouse are pretty damn close, and I'm not sure if they'd fight each other due to being on, basically, the same team.
Will Palhares heel hook, choke out or armbar Henderson? I'm thinking armbar, but I want a heel hook. He should also rock his facial hair while doing so.
With Bustamante sneering in his corner, Palhares will not lose. He's going to send Henderson up to 205, blee dat.
