Was a good read, worth getting if only for the pic of him and Hendo sporting impressive Mullets! Someone got me that, Liddells and Hughes. Hughes came across like a redneck prick (No suprise there) Liddells was pretty much what youd expect, him trying to be a bad ass Mofo, but I think Coutures was a good read.
Id really like to read an Autobiography on Sakuraba...
On Hendo heres what he said about the Shields fight
---------------------------------------------------
“Jake’s dangerous and I’m not taking him lightly at all. I just need to make sure that I’m still implementing my game plan, and going out there and trying to beat him up, and not getting taken down and humped to death, still be exciting. It’s still a challenge of a fight for me, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Don’t ever count out Jake. I know I’m a bad match-up for him, but he’s very dangerous. I want to make sure I take care of the fight the way I want to take care of it.”
“I’m going to be antsy to try and go out there and knock Jake’s head off as well. Just the same as anybody else, no matter if they talk (expletive) or not. That doesn’t really add to how hard I try to punch them.”
“I like to take it one step at a time. Without the first step you can’t take another. I want to make sure I’m focused on Jake Shields right now. That’s the opponent in front of me, then I’ll have a little bit of time to figure out what’s next.”
“My work’s not done yet. I have a lot more things I want to accomplish in this sport, and more goals, and I’d feel like I’m done when I’m just cashing in with what I’ve already done. I want to cash in with what I’m still going to do.”

Hendo is a legend, I was backing him to beat Anderson and im backing him to win 2 weight titles in SF. I know he can beat Shields, his Wrestling will keep Shields at bay long enough to KO him I think. Mousasi is still kind of green and fighting Mo will give us an Idea of how he copes with a good wrestler (all be it a different style of wrestler to Hendo)
My Idea senario is Hendo to get the 2 belts and call Fedor out. He is a little undersized to fight Fedor, but as you say Hits hard enough to put him away, his Wrestling might see him able to neutralise Fedors groundgame in that he is hard to take down and controll, his TD defence against Palhares was something else. If Hendo worked a good Sprawl and Brawl game he would ahve a good chance, and Hendo isnt getting put to sleep by any mortal man! Id just worry about the size difference, When Hendo was a Lhw he wasnt cutting and sometimes coming in underweight... If it happened It like a catchweight of 215 or something, Maby Make Fedor cut a little and see if it drains him.
