Easy fight for GSP

 

[Small Town Andrew]

Prime Dan was so much stronger and more powerful than GSP. I think decision Dan would take the decision

I don't think he would make 170 in his prime

But TRT Dan or non-TRT? PRIDE Dan would be a pretty crazy match up

Well you better have the MW fight first cause if Henderson tried to make WW(170) he would die or be hospitalized from the weight cut. GSP likely wins at MW. Dan Henderson is much better at 205 than he is at 185.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Hendo wins 10/10 you arent taking prime hendo down and you sure as hell arent going to jab him to death.

Hendo got outwrestled by Ninja, Shogun, Wanderlei, Misaki and Rampage. GSP would out wrestle Hendo at 185.

GSP jabs and picks Dan Henderson apart for 5 rounds

You think GSP isn't going to gameplan and prevent Dan Henderson from landing his leg kick right H-bomb combo?

 

[RemyR]

My instinct says Dan but I wouldn’t be surprised if GSP managed to take him down similar to Jake Shields. Jake almost died that first round though.

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Hendo rag dolls him

 

[GSP_37]

GSP and GSP, via look down and kick 'im in the 'ead.

Don't forget Hendo approaching lethal Vitor with head down facing the ground and getting a solid face kick from Vitor.

Pride rules?

Yes, it always will!

For this match to work, the fight needs to be at MW. Dan can't exactly cut to WW since his in-cage weight exceeds what a WW can achieve during fight night.

If we're talking Hendo in his absolute prime then Hendo might have a chance to win here since MW is not the best weight class for GSP, and it showed in the Bisping fight where Bisping actually had a chance at some points during their title fight.

Basically, GSP's transition to MW may have slowed him down compared to his WW version.

Can GSP take down Hendo at his peak though?

Hendo rag dolls him

Did u see the AS fight?

 

[EXOICHO]

Hendo, despite being an olympian has shitty TDD for a wrestler.

GSP should win this fight comfortably.

he was only an olympian in greco roman, wasn't he? There's no double legs in greco roman.

Watch Jake Shields vs Dan Henderson

GSP would have been unconscious on the floor.

Shields has eaten shots from dozens of heavy hitters and shown he can get back up. GSP has never once shown the same aptitude for recovery.

 

[Mike]

Hendo doesn't make 170. At 185 I'd favor gsp. Hendos cardio at mw wasn't great. I think gsp would keep taking him down until he gassed. Gsp by decision or rnc late.

 

[Mike]

People talking like Hendo had great tdd need to go back and rewatch some fights.

He did not.

GSP vs Minowaman

Both legends in their own way, Minowaman is a true samurai.

Who wins what?

GSP will win because of the cleaner technique and conditioning. Hendo is always dangerous, but he has way too many shortcomings in his game to beat GSP

The kick from Condit? The Hendricks fight?
