In a rematch of their memorable UFC 100 bout, middleweight champion Michael Bisping puts his title on the line against former Strikeforce and Pride FC champion Dan Henderson?on Saturday at UFC 204 in Manchester, England.Bisping is fighting as champion in his home country for the first time, while Henderson, 46, is hoping to wind down his career with another signature win. Here are the statistical categories that could end up being the difference on Saturday.The first fightThe result of the first matchup between these two is one of the biggest talking points heading into the rematch. After months of back-and-forth sniping, including an entire season of The Ultimate Fighter, the two finally squared off at UFC 100. Bisping stayed on the outside and circled away while looking for openings. Henderson waited and finally landed the big knockout blow. Despite appearing as if he was waiting for the big shot, Henderson actually landed at a respectable 3.45 significant strikes per minute rate. Only three other fighters have landed at a higher rate against Bisping in the UFC. On the other hand, Bisping seemed hesitant to close the distance and landed only 2.64 significant strikes per minute. That rate is the fifth lowest output of his 26-fight UFC career. In order to be successful in this fight, Bisping will need to increase his output while avoiding Hendersons power shots. Considering his recent results, that should not be a problem.Significant strikes per minuteBisping has always been a volume striker. In his first 22 fights in the UFC, he landed 4.21 significant strikes per minute. For his past four fights, he has raised the bar even higher and landed 4.65. Henderson has been trending in the opposite direction. Since knocking out Bisping at UFC 100, Henderson has landed only 2.15 significant strikes per minute in the UFC/Strikeforce. In his previous 25 Pride/UFC fights, he had been landing 2.46.KnockoutsHenderson is known for his signature knockout power, with his right hand known affectionately by fans as the H Bomb. In 39 fights for UFC/Strikeforce/Pride, he has scored 15 knockouts. As he ages, his power does not seem to be on the decline, as seven of his past eight wins have come via knockout. The downside is that his resistance to power shots has diminished. Henderson began his career with 39 straight fights without being knocked out. He has now been knocked out in three of his past seven bouts.Bisping does not have the reputation of being a power striker, but he has tallied 10 knockouts in the UFC and another six outside of the Octagon. Prior to knocking out Luke Rockhold and taking the UFC middleweight championship in June at UFC 199, Bisping had landed 314 significant strikes in four fights since his most recent knockout. With that being said, it takes only one shot, and the champion is coming off the biggest knockout of his career.WrestlingHenderson twice represented the U.S. at the Olympics and was a fixture of the national Greco-Roman wrestling team for a large portion of the 1990s. However, he has never really been a dominant wrestler in MMA. In fact, Hendersons takedown numbers are remarkably similar to those of Bisping, who doesnt come from a wrestling background. Henderson lands 1.58 takedowns per 15 minutes compared to 1.18 for Bisping. The American is more accurate, as he lands 54 percent of his attempts, while Bisping converts only 43 percent. However, the edge on defense goes to Bisping, as he successfully defends 64 percent of his opponents takedown attempts, and Henderson stops only 57 percent. Since the wrestling is basically even, expect this fight to remain on the feet throughout. Air Force 1 Køb . He says so-called TRT is only one problem and he wants to go even further than the ban.

LOS ANGELES -- Even in a jersey with USA on the chest, Kevin Durant got some boos at Staples Center on Sunday night.Hell probably need to get used to that sound in this building for the rest of his basketball career.When he suits up in Oakland on Tuesday for the first time since joining the Golden State Warriors, hell get another reception entirely.But no hate or love from the stands is going to deter Durant from trying to win a gold medal or an NBA title.The crowd here tonight was great, so hopefully its just as good at Oracle, Durant said after scoring 19 points at a packed Staples Center during the Americans 106-57 victory over China in the second stop of a five-game pre-Olympics showcase.When told he had been booed in pregame introductions, Durant seemed surprised: No, I didnt hear it. I did? Huh. I didnt hear it.The Los Angeles fans were gathered to cheer for the Americans during an exhibition blowout, but some of them couldnt resist jabbing at the newest member of the Warriors and his two-team teammate, Draymond Green. The Clippers fans in the crowd supported the red, white and blue -- but those colors represent something else to them for most of the year, and they let their new nemesis know it.Golden State general manager Bob Myers was in attendance to see his newest signings performance alongside Green and Klay Thompson, who scored 17 points in another impressive exhibition victory for the gold medal favorites.Myers was surprised by the boos, but only to a point.I think its Clipper fans, because they cheered DeAndre (Jordan), Myers said. Thats just my guess.The Clippers have a fierce rivalry with the Warriors, but it seems increasingly likely Durant will be a magnet for boos throughout the league after spurning Oklahoma City to chase a championship with Stephen Curry in Oakland.Hell return to his new homme in the East Bay for whats likely to be a less hostile reception before the Americans next exhibition, also against China.ddddddddddddHe wont get booed on Tuesday, Myers said dryly.Durant isnt taking anything for granted. He is just beginning to grasp the enormity of his move in the eyes of fans and opponents. The gifted scorer and former MVP has been widely popular around the game for most of his career, but his decision this month has made him a target of jealousy, frustration and even derision -- and not even a Team USA jersey can deflect it.Im excited to go to Oakland as a member of the Warriors, Durant said. Well see. I dont know what to expect. Im just going to go up there, be my normal self and do my normal routine.Durant could need months to feel normal in a Warriors uniform, but hes getting a valuable head start during this six-week attempt to win his second gold medal in Rio de Janeiro.While Curry decided to skip the Olympics, Green and Thompson will be with Durant for the duration, building chemistry and togetherness as the second trio of NBA teammates to play Olympic hoops together since the NBA joined the Games in 1992.Durant, Green and Thompson were all on court together for the first time last Friday during the U.S. blowout of Argentina in Las Vegas.When youre out there right now, you dont even think about the fact that we are teammates, Green said. I didnt even notice that me, Klay and K.D. were out there together. ... To be on the same team competing for the same goal, its definitely something that at first is weird, but then when you get around all these guys, and it is such a great group of guys, down-to-earth, fun to hang around with, it makes everything more fun.
