UFC 100 is going to be a historical night for the entire sport of MMA. In many ways it will be a MMA memorial with an incredible fight card mixed in. The fight card is one that is comprised of two title fights and a The Ultimate Fighter fight.

Dan Henderson (#5 IWMMAR) vs. Michael Bisping

Hendo and The Count are arguably two of the best their countries have to offer. Bisping is without a doubt the best British fighter ever, and Henderson is one of the best and most decorated fighters of our era.

This fight is the easiest of the other three to break down. Although both are solid fighters, the distance between the two is further than in the other match-ups.

Michael Bisping has only lost one fight in the UFC. Rashad Evans was the better fighter on this night, but Bisping has been the one that hasn't lost since.

In this fight Michael Bisping does not have a part of his game that is naturally better than his opponent.

If he is to win this fight, he is going to have to make it as sloppy as possible. He needs to get close and utilize a Couture type of dirty boxing.  Bisping needs to keep Henderson's back on the fence so that he controls the leverage and can control the fight.

If he is able to control the fight in this manner and land solid combinations he could squeeze out the split decision.

Dan Henderson has finally strung a few wins together in the UFC. His eyes are starting to see the top of the mountain. In his way is a very solid fighter in Michael Bisping.

In this fight Hendo is the superior fighter.  Not only is his wrestling much better, but his stand up is as well.

In this fight Henderson will look to keep the fight standing. The two will meet in the center of the cage and trade punches until Dan starts landing more and more.

At this point Bisping will attempt to shoot. Bisping will have tons of trouble taking Henderson down, and will open up with every failed shot. This plays into Henderson's strengths leading to a Hendo victory.

In this one I don't see Bisping winning. He does not posses the tools required to control the cage against a fighter of Hendo's quality. Watch for Henderson to land a solid shot which leads to a referee stoppage at some point in this fight.
