Dan Henderson turns 50 in 10 days, could he still beat some top50 MW/LHW/HW's?

[Melas Chasma]

In the UFC under USADA?

Outside UFC? Could he beat Tito, for example? Fedor?

Just asking hypothetically, I know he is probably not coming back and he has no reason to. I just think it would be funnny if he beat some notable name as a 50 year old, because I personally think he could.

 

[OldBoy91]

He'd still probably be a top 30 MW. Alternating between wins and losses vs #10-20 ranked opponents.

Power is the last thing to go.

Hendo is a legend, respect on his name.

He whooped bisping at 47 years young. He might be the only 50 year old that I'd actually be interested in seeing fight somebody ( obviously not a top 15 guy)

 

[axe wound]

imagine what he would do to weidman still

 

[Kos Fan]

If Hendo looked anything like he did in his last fight against Bisping then he could give a lot of solid fighters trouble in a three rounder.

are we talking with TRT?

A certain level of fighter will beat him most of the time, as age made him slow. Bisping managed to outpoint him because Dan was so much slower and reserved in his attacks in the rematch compared to their first fight. The same blueprint of playing the matador would apply to a lot of current top guys going against the Hendo of today. But past that level they're getting slept with the right bomb.

Hendo is my favorite fighter ever, so yes he'd take out Jon Jones if given the chance. Shame UFC 151 never happened.... I convinced myself he'd win that fight lol

COOL. Let's leave out that Bisping had one eye, that's not important...

 

[HHJ]

Of course he could. Remember when tim boetch tried to brawl with him? that would still happen if you tried that today.

 

[RandyCouture>U]

He should sign with that org Tito is in and fight him.

 

[Jose Beehive]

I bet he'd beat everyone in an Arm Wrestle apart from maybe Olenik and Ngannou.

 

[Melas Chasma]

He'd still probably be a top 30 MW. Alternating between wins and losses vs #10-20 ranked opponents.

Nah, that's too much, imo. If he could, it would be incredibly embarrassing to the MW division and to MMA in general. 50 old retired grandpa beating some close to top10 level fighters..

 

[OldBoy91]

COOL. Let's leave out that Bisping had one eye, that's not important...

Or that he pieced Hendo up for 23 minutes of a 25 minute fight...

Lmao I loved that fight. Hendo knocked him out well. That was hendo’s easiest fight since Chonan or Misaki!

 

[Stalingrad9]

Was he on anything for his last Bisping fight ?

 

[HHJ]

Lmao I loved that fight. Hendo knocked him out well. That was hendo’s easiest fight since Chonan or Misaki!

Remember when shogun tried to brawl with him in the opening of the first fight,and he nearly died?

He sure as hell learned his lesson not to do that in the 2nd one

but still lost.
