Dan Henderson vs Matt Hughes would be a classic, but i'm afraid to tell all hughes fans that he'd get his butt kicked.

I'd give more than a slight advantage to Hendo.He's a good wrestler that can strike and has KO power.The weight difference would be too much.Hughes might be a better wrestler ,but he'd have difficulty taking Hendo down b/c Hendo is a good wrestler and has a big weight advantage.If Hendo kept the fight standing he'd win by KO or if he took it to the ground he'd win by gnp he'd stop the fight!

Hendo all day

Hughes can wrestle and submit. Hendo can wrestle much better then Hughes, so its not going down. hes heavier, and unlike Hughes, he has KOd people. people who fight a weight class above Hughes.

Hughes is a better wrestler, but Henderson is alot bigger. He fights at 185 and I believe he fought his last fight against Vitor Belfort at 205. Henderson is also a better striker and even though I'm a big Hughes fan, I know Matt would get beat.

how is Hughes, who wrestled D1 in college, have better wrestling then Hendo, who was 2-time Olympic team member in Greco?

Hughes takes down Riggs, Penn when BJ lets him in the 2nd, and GSP. except for Riggs, all of them were smaller and weaker then him.

Hendo takes down and wrestles with Big and little Nog, Wandy, Vitor, and Busta.
