Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson

[TheSpider]

One of the most underrated title fights (unification) of all time.

MW GOAT vs top 3 MW GOAT

UFC MW champ vs Pride MW champ

Top 3 MMA GOAT vs top 10 MMA GOAT

Prime Anderson defeats any Dan at MW or LHW except perhaps Mirgliotta

 

[ConditFan]

Edited: I would count Dan as a top 10 goat. Not a top 3 mw. But yeah it was a great matchup and fight

I wouldn't count Dan as a top 10 goat or top 3 mw. But yeah it was a great matchup and fight

Hendo was a 2 division Pride champ and has top 5 wins in 3 weight classes (MW, LHW, HW) which includes KOing Fedor.

It was a weak unification considering Hendo lost @ MW in the PRIDE GP to Misaki while he was PRIDE 185lbs champ. It wasnt a title fight but it was still at MW and Hendo lost. It was only 3 fights before the "unification"

 

[tripleo]

Spider's best win imo

Good win for Silva. This was right after Dan Henderson fought Rampage to a competitive loss. Rampage/Henderson both looked great in that fight.

 

[GueseGuy]

That legendary Hendo chin. But boy when it cracked, did it certainly crack.

I’d say TRTitor cracked it in their 2nd fight

It was done by the time Gegard got his hands on him

 

[TheBulge]

Probably Anderson's biggest win. And what a win it was. Most shertards don't realize Anderson badly concussed him with that knee and had him for the taking on the ground, just a few more punches and Silva would have been the first to stop Hendo with strikes. He opted for the neck when it was there.

I know. Looking at it again he may be top 10 all time. But he has a ton of losses through his prime. He doesn't have the resume at mw to be top 3. As u said, he split his wins btwn 3 weight classes

Also the Fedor "ko" was an early stoppage

Great fight, big Hendo fan, that look on his face as he tapped haunted me, huge win for Silva, I thought it was gonna be a lot more competitive then what it was

 

[dittohead84]

Great fight. Hendo landed on him too from what I remember, that body triangle was nice

That fight against Fedor was a heavyweight bout. Henderson's achievements were spread across several weight classes, hard to rank him in a single division.

 

[Egészségére!]

Silva mocked Henderson in the lead up for supposedly having “heavy hands” then he refused to touch gloves which didn’t make me a fan at the time but then the way he outclassed him was ridiculous

Could be even the goat fight of the goat fighter

That vitor fight was one of the all time worst strategies I've ever seen in a fight. He just plodded forward looking down pawing out that right hand begging for an uppercut. It was seriously worse than the BJ Penn tiptoe

 

[John of Arc]

What a performance by Anderson, probably my favourite Silva fight - y'all kids who talk about Silva fighting bums need to STFU.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Nobody did that to Hendo. Nobody. Maybe the most impressive win of Anderson
