    Nice, should be a great match. I'm interested in seeing who's stand up is more technical. I think Hendo stands only to end up shooting for take downs and working GnP.

    Yea, but Lutter did get Rich down early in their fight and I think Hendo is a far better wrestler. I'd honestly say Rich's size will help him though. He's naturally bigger then Hendo. It should be a phenomenal fight.
