I am using the Yahoo! rankings here. The poll will be open for 48 hours, unlike the other guy who ended the poll once someone got a certain amount of votes.
1st round:
(1) Anderson Silva vs. (16) Mike Brown
(8) Brian Bowles vs. (9) Miguel Angel Torres
(4) B.J. Penn vs. (13) Rashad Evans
(5) Lyoto Machida vs. (12) Brock Lesnar
(3) Fedor Emelianenko vs. (14) Urijah Faber
(6) Jose Aldo vs. (11) Gegard Mousasi
(7) Shogun Rua vs. (10) Dan Henderson
(2) Georges St-Pierre vs. (15) Rampage Jackson

Shogun in convincing fashion.

I see Hendo taking this one. He wouldn't be stupid enough to stand in there and get peppered with Knees, kicks, and strikes. I think he could hold his own by keeping shogun at bay with his big right hand, but he would rush in, use the clinch to upload some big punches and uppercuts, get the takedown if he got in danger, and gnp shogun. I think stylistically this is a bad match up for shogun.

I gotta agree with wolf on this 1. While Shogun is hot at the moment, I think Hendo's right hand is the equalizer that keeps Shogun's knees at bay.
