Don't get me wrong it was a great performance, but for me if he did anything else I would have been disappointed. Hendo's wrestling hasn't been on point for a while (I remember him being dominated by shields someone that went down to 170 in the UFC) and I remember Hendo even being rag-dolled by Machida in the first round of their fight (which was a sweet trip takedown). He hasn't been dominate really since the first three rounds of the first Shogun fight (I know he ko'd him in the second fight but he was losing up until then rather handily I might add). He has had two split decision losses (which I was shocked they were split decisions) after those he was KO'd by Vitor.
Dan is one of my favorite fighters of all time but to think that this match was going to anything but domination by DC would have been crazy. Dan has one weapon (and it's a great weapon) but that is really it at this point. His body looks to stiff to wrestle anymore, and the amount of fight mileage on his body is staggering. DC looked great but I can't say he can beat Jones off of this performance.
