LOL. It's weird when you make sense.

IDK man, I consider round 2 to be a total domination while round 1 was irrelevant as it was a "control" safe round for Hendo. But round 2 he got crushed.

Round 1 was anderson letting dan get some confidence so he can crush all of it in the 2nd

lol you don't "let" someone get confidence in a fight, then decide to crush them. mma is not dragonball z. he was feeling him out, like he always does.

Hendo had to leave the ufc to become a champion again.
When the UFC absorbs Strikeforce we might get an undisputed title fight but I don't see Hendo (are any one else for that matter) stopping Jones just yet.

Word. I think if Hendo came back to the UFC, he wouldn't be champ. Going down means facing anderson. He doesn't want that. LOL. Staying at LHW means facing Jones. I don't see him doing well on that either. Jones is bigger than Rampage. And Rampage is bigger than Hendo. That means Jones is WAY bigger than Hendo. And at this point in MMA, we have to admit that size is a factor.

Easy as pie, first you find your opponents rythm, then you impose your rythm onto your opponent.

I don't like watching Dan Henderson, the fights i saw he was just a slugger. Not my kind of fight. I want to see technique, either doing jiu jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, boxing... whatever it is. But just slugging away does nothing for me.

No disrespect towards Dan Henderson, he is tough and is resume speaks for it self.

I think you might wanna train your eye a bit better to see the finer points of his game. Or just look deeper than the rough edges. His stand up isn't crisp, I'll give you that. But if you have watched his career, trying to be a technical striker has never really helped him. He's a wrestler, not a boxer. He didn't start finding success with that H bomb until he started throwing like a slugger. But his ground work, clinch work, and cage presence is far from just a slugger.

In fact, check the reversal he pulled on Fedor prior to the stoppage. That right there was pure technique. It was so pretty I rewinded it like 10 times.

Most of the short fight he just slugged with Fedor, but that reversal was awesome.

Yes, it might just be that i am not knowledgeable enough on wrestling to give the proper value that Henderson deserves and i haven't seen most of his fights.

You are right though. his stand up is slugger style all the way though. He doesn't box you. He tries to take your head off. But that's because his "boxing" sucks. LOL.

That was back in 2000 and isn't really relevant to his current status in MMA as Corky implied.

wins fights. worked against fedor so he's doing something right. If you're a world class wrestler you don't have to be anderson silva on you're feet. If you've done even a LITTLE jiu jitsu you can still appreciate his wrestling. grappling skills transcend names.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dan sign up for a 2-3 fight contract with UFC, I haven't really seen him fight too much (before my time with MMA). If he has the guts to challenge Rampage or Jones then yeah all the power to him (and who knows, maybe he would seek a chance to redeem himself against Silva or Shields).
