Dan Henderson: Greatest Moment/Career Appreciation Thread

[whougonnacall]

Why is Fedor considered GOAT if Dan Henderson KO'd him and Henderson lost to Bisping, an average Middleweight?

Because fedor had by his own coaches admission stopped training like a pro fighter just prior to sylvia fight
At that stage i think the 'its in gods hands' mania took over him

The moment he got his first TRT injection.

This.
Finding that steriod loophole was fantastic for him.

Hendo is a legend. Never seemed like the most talented fighter, but he found a way to beat some of the best to ever fight in MMA.

Hespect the Hendo

Probably the single toughest dude to ever set foot in the cage... It took TRT Vitor to finally stop him well into his 40s. Never took a major injury or reveived a big cut during a fight. Fought almost every fight of his career against bigger opponents... Dude is the kind of thing you attach to the front of a battering ram to knock a fire door down.

i voted other, i think it was a spectacular and significant human moment when he was reunited with his 5000 year old forefather, otzi, who invented the h-bomb

looking at the pose he was found in, we can see that those who live by the h-bomb, die by the h-bomb

WAR OTZI

KOing Fedor, a HW while being a MW

Wand had the flu, but I voted Pride MW

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Dan has the most epic career in MMA ever with iconic moment after iconic moment. Guys like GSP or Fedor may have had more success for a sustained time, but none produced the upsets, thrills, brutal finishes and excitement that Hendo did.

Honorable mentions!

Check out that JJ Walker strut

Humiliating Fedor at a higher weight with a face down/ass up KTFO was quite an achievement, but i love the demolition job he did on Lomtard.

Marrying a dime piece that’s 13 years younger that seems fun and genuinely in love with him and not the money. Packs an H bomb in the right hand and a Hendong in the pants. What a stud.

Being on roids his whole career and having a losing record in the ufc.

What does this mean? I have nothing invested in roided up losers lol.

It means that he has one of, if not the most the most storied, and interesting careers that anyone has ever had, and calling him a roided up loser is plain ridiculous.

I sense the presence of salt.

So which one of your favorite fighters did Dan smash the sh*t out of ?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Great career for an amazing fighter/man but let's not kid ourselves: The KOing of Bisping is his "Mona Lisa", a thing that will still be remembered and admired by future generations.
This might be the best KO I've ever seen. That, or the Rampage's Power Bomb.

His two fights with Shogun are epic too, but dat KO tho.

I don't get people knocking on past generations for doing roids - it was just a part of the sport back then. Takes nothing away from his accomplishments when you consider that his opponents had the same advantages on offer, and makes it even more impressive that he still won fights after they denied his TRT.

Truth.
Dan is an MMA God and that's all there is to it.
