Hendo should go down as a top five GOAT. As time goes on he’s appreciated more and more.

I remember one fighter saying being in there with him was unlike anything he experienced before in all his years of fighting and training. It was like sharing the cage with some kind of ferocious animal who didn’t even seem human.

My buddy did a fight camp with him. Said he would wake up super early to take care of his livestock and chores and then come into the gym and throw everyone around. My buddy is a solid 230lbs, fought on TUF, would smash 99 percent of the population, said Dan is just a Buffalo.

That was the fight that humbled Bisping. He became much more likeable after that brutal KO.

Was lucky enough to attend his last fight in Manchester. Despite cheering for Bisping it was cool as fuck to see Hendo make his final walk to the cage.

On the Pride scoring system he definitely won. But on the 10 point must scoring system they use and in particular, at that time period, the lack of 10-8 rounds, I think Bisping won 3-2.

When your eyes tell you one thing and the score card disagrees – it means there’s either a problem with the system or the judges interpretation of it.

I know a guy who actually quit watching MMA because of that decision.
To my knowledge he hasn’t watched an event since.

That fight will forever be known as “The Robbery”.

A lot of people forget that Dan Henderson used to be called Decision Dan because he was supposedly gifted a few decisions.

I didn’t forget.

That was back in the day and most were competitive fights.
Not nearly as egregious.

A chance to take the belt and ride off into the sunset after one of the greatest careers we have seen…

It was pretty bad.

Any meaningful exchange those 2 ever had, Hendo almost took his head off. The rest of the time was Bisping on his bike.

Put them in a room to fight to the death, and Hendo walks out 100/100 times – and Bisping damn well knows it.

Fuck that decision.
