Should Dan Henderson Finish his career at HWT?

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Regardless of the result of his upcoming fight against Machida, should Dan Henderson fight the final fights of his career at HWT? Henderson would probably weigh in around 215 lbs and He's 3-1 at HWT all time (with wins over Big Nog, Yvel and Fedor). There's some good match ups for him and some serious money up there.

Mark Hunt vs. Dan Henderson: would be an all time classic. Both in their 40's, both still throw some serious power.

Dan Henderson vs. Frank Mir: Frank would have a big size advantage, but lately his chin has been looking shattered. Dan could drop an H-bomb on Mir very possibly.

Roy Nelson vs. Dan Henderson: Big slugfest or maybe Dan would put a wrestling clinic on Nelson. Either way, could see it being an entertaining fight.

Thoughts?

No, but you should.

 

[KONE]

...No

He should finish his career immediately after his fight against Machida

 

[ShreddinMMA]

Honest question.

How high are you right now?

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

Da fuck outta here!

 

[jumasterflex]

No last time he fought a heavyweight ( at LHW) he got rag dolled so bad so as a kinda fan I don't want to see him at HW he already ko'd Fedor no need to go back

 

[M3LDY]

Yea when your chin finally goes after being solid for your entire career, you should move up a weight class.

probably not as high as I am, but anyone knows this is a whole notha level of stupid

 

[Deleted member 468727]

I say hell yeah go for it, it'll either end one of two ways...either of which are pretty entertaining

Maybe he can add another HW feather in his cap or maybe he gets brutally destroyed but Dan's never been afraid of going out on his shield

He's already snatched the HW GOAT's consciousness so if he wants to keep fighting what does he have to lose

 

[King of Fists]

Lmao wow this dude hates Dan henderson

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Dan is done.
Dana has been calling him about retiring for 2 years, but the badass old geezer is stuburn.
ffs, he's 45 and 2-6 in the last 3 years, ts.
He has nothing left to prove. All time great.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

No, but you should.

I should fight HWT?

Dan has a great record at HWT...

 

[Based God]

So watching him get finished by MW's for the last few years made you think fighting guys who hit like trucks would be a good idea?

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

How can you argue against a 3-1 record at HWT and two wins over HWT all time greats in Fedor and Big Nog. Big nog when he was young, pre-ufc nog.

 

[Koimpact]

I would've wanted to see Hunt/Henderson 3 years ago but with Hendo's cracked chin now I think Hunt would murder him. Honestly hope he either retires after his fight with Machida or just keeps taking fights against the old guard like Rampage, Wandy, or Lil Nog.

Fedor fight was 5 years ago, previous heavyweight fight before that was 13 years ago lol

Your logic = Mike Tyson was a beast back in the 80's, lets throw him in the cage with Junior Dos Santos

Agreed, He could hold bis own against these guys mentioned, he would not have a speed disadvantage like he does at Lhw

Dan has a great record at HWT...

A. The only recent one he had was against Fedor, back in TRTimes.

B. He's faded. A TON since then. He's chinny as hell.

He'd have a shot of catching Mir, with how poorly Mir looked against Hunt. If Mir gets on top or gets Hendo worn out at all though, Hendo might have a tough fight.

I don't think Hendo has the chin to take Nelson in a contest of the overhand rights. And I think Roy could bully him to the ground as well, and that would be the end of Hendo. Plus Roy's chin is somehow holding up.

Hunt would put Hendo away. Quick. That fight shouldn't even be sanctioned.
