Dan Henderson was the best Pride fighter ever

[Repsac]

He has the best resume out of any fighter to ever compete, anywhere

PRIDE, STRIKEFORCE, UFC CHAMP, Clened out top fighters from WW to HW while being a LHW-MW for most of his career

No matter the rule set, the fighting arena or the country, he was a top fighter

but Fedor being a fat LHW not losing a round in a decade at heavyweight and and being more enteratining while at it cannot be topped IMO

Best win resume perhaps. Not best resume. Too many losses. And many of his wins are questionable too.

He brutally defeated four Pride legends: Fedor, Shogun, Nog and Wanderlei. He was very limited skill wise, compared to the others, and beat all of them, only because he had so much power in his right hand. He finished Fedor and Shogun, when they were still young in their early 30, so out of prime card doesn't count. You can see how good Fedor is even now, but in 2011 he was way faster with better gas tank as well. Shogun was still a top contender in lhw division and gave young Gustafsson his toughest fight

-
He was far from limited skill wise Hendo was an Olympic level wrestler

 

[Maroli]

Henderson KO’d Fedor in pride?

Not to mention Shogun

 

[MartinPocrezze]

Hendo without TRT gets Ko in 1 min

 

[Local Plata]

Big Nog fucking schooled him.

I have no doubt TS didn't actually watch PRIDE when it existed and just took a glimpse at Hendo's record and came to this stupid conclusion.

My feeling as well.

 

[aashmore]

Not to mention Shogun

05 Shogun is almost as good as motivated Penn

Almost..

He beat NONE of them in Pride. Nor would he have.
But lost to Big Nog and Lil Nog in Pride.

And his “win” over Ninja Rua, was one of the biggest robberies ever.

He also lost to Wand, even though y’all only remember that he won against him in the rematch.

Hendo is a great legend of MMA, but let’s not get carried away by his old man victories, where he used TRT and his opponents did not.

Why laugh?

You’re taking those fights out of context and didn’t even mention Silva/Henderson 1.

Are you even aware they fought once before, or is it Fight Finder time?

 

[LEWIS540]

But he is without a doubt in the top 10 of the greatest MMA fighters of all-time.

Maybe, but there is definitely a doubt.

 

[LEWIS540]

Hendo was "decision dan" in Pride and struggling against Misaki. Then he got in PEDs and got good.

As opposed to all the clean fighters, right?

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

I don't know about that... but we can say he KOd the best Pride fighter

Well, KO is a major stretch, but he does have an early stoppage victory over Fedor, yes.
