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.
