UFC 161 Results


Rashad Evans (-155) vs. Dan Henderson (+145)
Evans is a solid wrestler and a great athlete.  Henderson is  a solid wrestler with power in his hands especially his right.  This is a close fight and Rashad needs to use his wrestling to win this fight and Henderson needs to keep it standing and win the clinch battle.  Henderson’s defensive wrestling has struggled in the past and Rashad has looked average in the striking department lately.  This is a hard fight to call and I think this is near a coin flip.  I am going to go with Dan Henderson by 2nd Rd TKO.

Top Play:  1/2 Star Dan Henderson (+145)

Top Play:

1/2 Star Jake Shields (+190)- Shields is a wonderful grappler, has strong takedowns and a high fighter IQ.  Woodley is a more explosive striker with solid wrestling.  Woodley doesn’t have the best defensive wrestling and Shields could get this fight to the ground and look for a submission or score points from top position. This fight should be closer to even in my opinion, take Jake Shields (+190).

Top Parlay
1 Star Roy Nelson; Alexis Davis (-140)
