Hendo doesn’t get enough credit for battering MW champ Ping at age 46

Damn Henderson is as tough, stubborn & as hard as an old oak tree.

He's literally what Joe Rogan was talking about when he said "there's only 50 people on earth that could whoop him" or whatever, Joe just had a brainfart.
 
Call it what it is. Just say he got rocked.

Don't try to tell me theres a definite chance he can't recover. Ive seen dudes recover all the time after getting rocked 10,000 times.
Oh I think he could possibly have recovered. A lot of ppl think the Maldonado fight should’ve been stopped, and we saw a much older Fedor recover from that and come back to win the next 2 rounds.
But when you faceplant like Fedor did in the Hendo fight, it’s over. A fighter isn’t given a chance to recover. They were out, and the fight is over.
Honestly, Fedor had no business returning to the cage so soon after the Bigfoot fight. These days, a fighter that took that much damage would have a minimum 6 month, if not 9 month, medical suspension. Fedor was back in the cage 5 months later, and surprise, surprise, his chin didn’t hold up. And it’s never been the same since. :(
 
Hendo looks like he just got out of the shower while Pinger looks like he got ran over by a truck

Hendo landed a couple of punches that did quite a bit of damage. As far as strikes landed Hendo lost. Bisping beat Anderson and Rockhold and mostly only lost to proven ped cheats like Hendo who was a trt monster in the first fight.

Point scoring Vs damage incurred. I get it, but Hendo was never hurt and fucked Ping up.

Hendo doesn't show damage on his skin. He still got hit a gazillion times in that fight. Just because you have a thick skin doesnt mean you dont take damage.
 
Even when Hendo was 50 Bisping just about sneaked a decision in London. Nobody considered Bisping the real champ

Yet GSP beating Bisping put him above Anderson and Jones on the GOAT list.
 
Bisping lost the fight, it's written on their faces. He just pointfought the rounds he won, where as Dan hurt him bad a few times and was close to a TKO. Although, credit to Bisping for surviving in the same spot where he got highlight reel'ed by Hendo in their first fight.
 
Bisping had one eye, so considering the age difference minus one eye made it even imo. Try screwing on a bottle top with one eye closed.
 
Dan is an ALL TIME GREAT and one of the toughest guys to ever compete in MMA.

Problem is that Dan was inconsistent and basically gave up using his wrestling about mid way thru his career.

There is no way Hendo should have a loss to Misaki and a split decision win vs Rich Franklin. He is WAY better than those guys but every now and then, Dan would just take the night off it seemed.
I definitely agree with the inconsistency bit but I thought his fight with Ace said more about how seriously game Franklin was rather than as a negative about Dan.
 
Will this be like Tibau Khabib where I just watched it back the other day and there’s no way you can give Tibau 2 of 3 rounds. A draw at best in that one, if you particularly dislike Khabib.
 
Hendo landed like one good punch and got picked apart for most of the fight.

Bit of an exaggeration IMO. Bisping deserved the decision in the match but it was very close and you can make a very good case that Dan won the “fight” I think. However it should also be pointed out that Bisping was very close to retirement and this was his last win.
 
Bisping is overrated af

He really isn't. People are generally respecting him for his grit and determination and think it's a cool story that he became champ - but at the same time the vast majority is aware that he was never actually the best at any given time.

One of the fighters who are rated most reasonably, in general.
