    He is getting close to 40. Is he going to be like Couture and be a good fighter still? Or Liddell?

    Is Bisping going to beat him?

    I think the way Couture and Hendo fight age a lot better than the way Liddell fights. Even at 40 or near 40 these guys can still use their wrestling skills to ground and pound and lay on guys.

    Neither Chuck/Randy had an iron chin throughout their careers. Hendo has one. So I don't think he'll flame out like the other two have. I think his pace will gradually slow to the point where he'll be getting outworked. But for Danny I think that is a couple of years down the line. He's still pretty good.

    hard to say IMO, when it goes, it goes quick and it's hard to see coming sometimes. Look at how slow and poor Frank Shamrock looked.
