UFC 204 EXTENDED PREVIEW - GET PUMPED!
Michael Bisping is the current UFC MiddleWeight Champion. Dan Henderson has held multiple championship belts outside the UFC and is looking to take Michaels's crown on October 8th. Dan Henderson has publicly announced he will retire from mixed martial arts after this fight with Bisping. In July 2009 Dan Henderson brutally knocked out Michael Bisping. In Michael's eyes, this is a revenge fight to erase the bitter taste of the epic loss in 2009.

FIGHTER STATS
Fighter Sypnosis - Michael 'The Count' Bisping
Michael 'The Count' Bisping is the UFC middleweight champion and the greatest British mixed martial artist of all time. He is a polarizing figure, but even his haters can not deny his efforts and accomplishments in the octagon. It has been a long road, and a long decade for Mike...but the belt is his, and he will not let it go easily.
He has evolved as a fighter, in 10 years a lot can change. Bisping used to be a hefty light heavyweight who threw bombs somewhat recklessly and enjoyed the occasional takedown to ground and pound against the cage. His style never dented the elite competition he faced, as guys like Rashad and Wanderlei were already complete fighters then and Bisping was not. 'The Count' is the perfect all around fighter, not great anywhere but very good everywhere.
Fighter Sypnosis - Dan ' Hendo' Henderson
Although Bisping is the champion and has momentum at home in England, he will have to play a very smart game and pick his shots wisely. As old and damaged as Dan is, he will not quit until he is killed and the H-Bomb is always ready to detonate. Dan Henderson's right hand is what legends are made from, once he tags the opponent with the wound up right hand it is over. Dan's lack of set ups, feints, and head movement has made him somewhat of a spectacle to watch as of late. He has only the most basic of tools, but his heart and granite skull make him a tough test for any man on this planet. Hendo will have fans in England, and Bisping will have nonfans in England. This fight comes down to training and determination.
The Matchup
Where is Bisping's head right now? His wins over Anderson and Rockhold have cemented him as a true champion, and a truly elite force at 185 pounds. Does he carry the confidence to Manchester and brutalize the 46-year old who once took no mercy on him? Will Mike underestimate Dan's character, and feed into the old man ploy? They say to fear an old man in a world where young men die, but Mike is no young man himself!
We have two men on the brink of their legacy, one with nothing to lose..the other with everything to lose. Dan truly is a dark horse, and every fight he is in becomes 50/50. You put these two together with the bad blood and the stakes at hand, and you have a truly awesome fight.

How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win _(Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

@steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.
