Which decisions did Decision Dan Henderson not deserve?

[don't ask]

Early in his career, he was called Decision Dan not because he kept going to decision, but because he kept winning decisions he shouldn't have.

I'm rewatching some old UFCs and, IMO, his decision win over Carlos Newton is a pretty undeserved victory. Newton dropped him a few times, staggered him a few more times, was untouched on the feet and survived the ground without much damage at all. I thought his Decision Dan days started in Pride, but now I think they go at least as far back as UFC 17.

I don't remember his victory over Big Nog, but his record says it's a split decision. I suspect it might be another undeserved win, given the one-sided domination Nog laid down on him in the rematch.

Bisping fight should have been a split decision at best imo.

 

[filthynumber1]

Iirc... which I can't
Im going go with all his splitter wins in Pride.

That doesn't make any sense.

"One judge should've scored it for this guy but the other two needed to score it for the other guy."

I remember thinking Rich got the better of their fight.

I'm assuming you don't mean the first fight...

Really??

Look up Bisping/Hendo.

Don't have to, I know you aren't making sense and I am simply letting you know.

No.
Nobody had responded to the thread so I figured I'd kick it off by making a dumb joke about one of the most famous KOs in UFC history.

Shogun.

lol I appreciate the kicstart, sherbro!

 

[The Reed]

Newton, Big Nog, Ninja, Kondo, Bustamante, Misaki 1(but he deserved Misaki 2) and Franklin.

IMO

Opinions are like...

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Big Nog, Newton, Misaki, Kondo and Shogun.

I don't think Shogun won but I think it's unfair to score that fight anything other than a DRAW.

I also believe Shogun would have finished Dan in a fight with no time limits.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Newton, Big Nog, Ninja, Kondo, Bustamante, Misaki 1(but he deserved Misaki 2) and Franklin.

IMO

Damn I need to revisit the Bustamante fight.

 

[Bork Neslar]

You're about 10 years late.

Edit. 20 years late.

 

[r-harper-1]

Love Hendo …. Thought he Lost against Big Nog 1 and against Franklin

 

[laleggenda27]

To this day, his "win" over Big Nog is the biggest robbery I've seen. Nog COMPLETELY dominated the overtime period; he essentially had Hendo mounted for the entire period.

Man, you weren't kidding. It's been about 20 years since I saw this fight:



The rematch, however, has always been one of my favourite grappling clinics. What a domination by Big Nog.
