Dan Henderson's resume, one of the best ever

[Liquidrob]

Someone on the UG put this together

Record: 27-8

- 1997 Brazil Open Champ (1st year of mma competition)
- UFC 17 Tourny Champ (2nd year of mma comp. defeated Goes and Newton)
- 1999 RINGS King Of Kings Champ ( Beat Big Nog, Yvel and Babalu in same night)
- First Ever Pride Welterweight Champ
- Pride Welterweight GP Champ (KO'd Gono, Chonan and Decisioned Bustamante)
- Pride Middleweight Champ ( KO'd Wand Silva)
- Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champ (TKO'd Feijao)


Victories over : Fejiao, Babalu x2 , Bisping , Franklin, Palharres, Wand Silva, Belfort, Misaki, Bustamante x 2, Chonan, Ninja, Renzo , Big Nog, Yvel, Newton, Kondo

Losses : Big Nog, Lil Nog, Wand Silva, Arona, Misaki, Rampage, Anderson, Shields

It is incredible that he has still never been Ko'd or TKO'd with the list of opponents he has fought.

He;s only ever been finished 3 times in his 14 year career (Nog Brothers and Anderson all by sub)

No doubt he's a legend of the sport.

I was just thinking of making a thread the other day as to why Hendo never got more pub for being the first fighter to technically be a UFC, Pride, and Stikeforce champion. That should be a bigger deal then it was made out to be around here.

 

[EmpireWF]

Winning a tournament doesn't necessarily mean championship, right?

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Might aswell.

The real Captain America.

Does Dan Henderson make the MMA Mt. Rushmore?

Taken from wiki on why the specific Presidents were chosen: "These presidents were selected by Borglum because of their role in preserving the Republic and expanding its territory."

Dana White? :laughing:

Wow. What in gods name makes Randy more deserving? bama:

The Greatest American mixed martial artist.

I like Hendo, talent wise I think he's one of the best in sport, but the only wins that standout are the ones against Big Nog and Wand. You expect him to beat the rest of those guys.

 

[EmpireWF]

No shit Hendo has the better fight record. Couture is one of the biggest stars in the sport and has been in a bunch of huge fights.

If this were strictly fight records, Anderson and GSP would be there, no?

 

[SHOGUN]

Royce Gracie, Sakuraba, Liddell, Fedor

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Randy Couture has to be the most overrated mixed martial artists of all time..

 

[EmpireWF]

Although he has double digit losses, he has huge wins including multiple title runs and is the most beloved fighter of all-time.

Nobody says he's the best of all-time, but considering the whole package, he's one of the most key figures in the sports history.

Even Chuck wouldnt be up there, he fought in a weak LHW division, of the best were in Pride, Shogun had a better career than Chuck

Chuck's impact > Shogun's impact
