MMA Connected at UFC 104: Interview with Dan Henderson - Part 1

[MMAfightvideosXXX]

Cool video, thanks for sharing.

[ResidencijaZLA]

I seriously hate Dana White. Dan should have gotten that fight with Silva.

[acuna13]

I have a feeling Jake might surprise Dan, if/or when that happens expect Dana to lure Jake into the UFC.

[boredpersonful]

his dads my P.E teacher really

[tyronemason1]

Hendo needs to just cum back to the ufc and start woopin peoples ass.

[biscuitsandgravyson]

hendo needs to lay down the beating on that faggot showdown joe

fuck i cant stand joe ferraro what a pushover dick sucking faggot lol

[CHUCKYCASPER]

hendo talks like hes taking a shit

[KDH321111111111]

cool martial arts to music clip at derekd2112

[young0813]

the sport has evolved passed henderson he's a haymaker 1 punch guy who telegraphs his shot vitor will beat silva. i know henderson beat vitor but its match ups and i believe vitor is a different fighter

[Chewabacca]

@young0813 What are you talking about. Henderson is predominantly a wrestler. He get's one KO in the UFC and suddenly he's a haymaker 1 punch guy?

If you watch his fights you'll realize that he's won most of his fight with his wrestling. He's an olympic caliber greco-roman wrestler and is one of the most well rounded fighters around.

[hspannu777]

@Chewabacca

WTFFF???

are u stupid... ALL his fights are won because of TKO's or KNOCK OUTS... ur a MORON lolll hahaha

[Chewabacca]

@hspannu777 I'm a moron? Well if he wins all his fights with KO's or TKO's than why does he have more decision wins on his record than stoppages?

[hspannu777]

@Chewabacca aii my bad i exaggerated his wins lol... he's got 11 by TKO and 13 by Decision..and 1 by Submission....

Hendo's still the man

[halosamuri]

hendo shouldve fought silva and marquart shouldve foughten belfort and then the winners fight each other cause this is BS hendo's one of the best in the world and should deserve a good fight.

[max69ng]

Dan demand as much as possible. Because Dana White will only consider you as a friend when you still have value to him. I am sure StrikeForce will love to have you.

[music2012]

Big Hendo fan, I hope he's happy wherever he ends up.

[Manofbegging]

@music2012 Dan Henderson got his teeth knocked out by trying to shove to many cocks in his mouth.

[1992lance]

@music2012 hes 1 of the coolest guys you'll meet....im sure

[Xytos]

@music2012 wow, why dont u just suck his cock too? jesus christ what an ass kisser

[music2012]

@Xytos It's called respect, I doubt anyone has any for you.

[bloodline321]

MMA LOCKDOWN.. ok " I respect for Dan because of that!!" .. if you were a real MMA fan.. He had respect since early UFC to rings .. and in pride! He's been had the respect in the MMA community.. But i hear you.. hahaha.. That KO on Bisfag.. was great!!!!! hahaha..

[MMALowdown]

Hendo kicks ass!!

He was the one that shut the mouth of Bisping and, in fact humbled Bisping!!!

i have a great respect for Dan because of that!!

And I think Dan still has a great road ahead!! He aint close to being done!! He still has a great chin and good technique as well!

[jennbootz349]

til the sun comes up, til the sun comes up.. take me home. hit it and quit it, thats what all guys like right?

[SexyAnjaa91]

money does not buy class. but big tits do

[dollarbillllz]

hendo sucks! he is not main event material

[tinman765]

Don't talk shit about henderson, You wouldn't last one minute in his fucking world. Only a coward like you would talk shit about henderson, all you do is sit home on your fucking ass and watch from tv, and never compete and never know what its like to compete in the ufc. I would dare you to tell that into Hendo's face, and you'll soon learn how badly he can kick your ass

[dollarbillllz]

tinman, u sound like u want to suck hendo's cock or something, i bet u wack off while watching his matches, ya little FAGGOT!!!!

[sugarwolf8]

only hendo can beat silva, even silva said that his best fight is with hendo. Because he know hendo was the best one he fought and hendo can't be knock out.

[watchyourst3p]

this is what happens when one company has monopoly of it's market.

everyone wants to fight in the UFC so they dont mind paying the fighters well.

Dan is awesome and he should go to strikeforce, get well and help other organizations.

Fedor is there too if Im not mistaken.

Long live strikeforce!!

[TillThenPlease]

I like Dan. He's actually pretty cool. Hope he's able to stay with the UFC.

[thuglyf121212]

I JUST HOPE VITOR NOT GONNA GET ROBBED LIKE Rua fight!!

[RobertoGaspar69]

Can you imagine how Dana will HYPE SIlva x Vitor? They will make the fight looks like the biggest fight of all times.Of course Vitor now, is living a great moment in his career, and he deserves to fight SIlva.But to be fair Vitor should fight someone else in his first fight back to UFC. Dana is destroying MMA, the refs sux, the rules are pussy, the judges are corrupt..they hyoe fighters, and they rig fights, all for the sake of PPV.more and more l miss PRIDE. After UFC 104, l'm done with UFC.

[MrNiceHk]

Pay the man

[MrNiceHk]

I am a big Dana White fan but I think he has dropped the ball on this one, and Dan Henderson is a big big draw for real MMA fans

[MrNiceHk]

Muppet

[gradeahomie]

baramia hendo was fucking up silva till he choked hendo what a pussy anderson known for knockout not choke out.

[tinman765]

i swear somone needs to shoot dana in the head. Dana keeps on screwing his fighters over, Jesus christ dana is just like Al davis owner of the oakland raiders but maybe even worse. Henderson deserves that title shot. Its all about the money for dana, and not what the fighter deserves to get. Lesnar is another example who shouldn't have gotten his title shot, even though i admit he's doing pretty good, but he didn't earn it against couture. Dana you douchebag

[logjam8800]

They have the UFC 104 replay video up over at WatchMMAFree. com

Booyah.

[baramia24]

Gtakagt - to ure coment i did watch the fight n all i saw was ure boy hendo been a human blanket till the spider got around to him n beat him...now i remembered it been ko...oh it just might be future fortelin tho :))

[wwjdCRABS]

Search for "send this to JESSICA ALBA." Trust me.

[BlowTorchJim]

This guy sounds like a gay. I wonder if he could take a horrible open hand slap that I could deliver.

[SkiNS]

HENDO IS TEAM USA

[baramia24]

hendo will lose against silva just like first time......he will try to take him down whole first round n then get koed in round 2 just like first time

[Gtakagt]

lol he got submitted not ko'd .. it'd be good to watch the bout b4 commenting on it

[Gslr722]

He took him down in the first fight and won round 1

[d3rfliw]

he never got knocked out by silva

[pato2zx]

I'm, fan Dan Henderson but come on why is complying he got tile shot twice first against rampage the one i think he won and hes next fight was against silva and he lost he won against palhares and Franklin was not clear i think Franklin was better and than KO bisbing and he mad because he think reserved better than belfort o rather see Nate fight Silva

[NaglfarCommando]

He EARNED those title shots by being the first man in MMA history to have two belts in two different weight classes at the same fucking time, retard. That's why he had two title fights considering he was the Pride Champ at 185 and 205. They were unification bouts. But that's too far over your fucking head.

Nate only had one fight that was of worth, blown up 170lb guys he beat. Maia was his biggest fight after anderson.

[RidleyPrime16]

If silva's defense is like no other, why does it matter who you pick to face him? Vitor and Dan both say they think Nate is more deserving of a title, and Nate's ok with fighting Dan. Bisping had an impressive record at the time, and stating how he got knocked it is next to retarded. Dan and Nate clearly are the next in line, even if they already had shots. Middleweight really has no names in it at all.

[quishar]

Let me get this straight...he talks about EARNING the right to fight SILVA because he knocked Bisping out ? Who the hell is Bisping ? They guy who got rocked by an overhand ? I wanna see Silva get hit with such a shot. Ppl don't realise...Silva's DEFENCE is like no other

[wilki6467]

hang on then are you trying to say that silva could take the punch that kod bisping or that he wouldnt get hit because his defence is better?

[narezul]

both

[NaglfarCommando]

Bitchping was promised the title shot if he beat Dan. I have no qualms saying that they would have honored that deal with Bitchping.

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

hahahahah lmao bitchping good 1

[SergeDaPimp]

dans the best. he deed it

[kickergray]

hendo will beat silva if they meet again!!!

[hatersfate2]

silva would kill henderson, but it would be a good match cause he wouldn't back down

[pntrain5]

Dan's not that marketable, that's the truth. UFC should show him the fan rating and PPV numbers and Dan will realize he's not top tier. Lesner, Silvia, GSP, BJ, Rampage those are the top ticket seller. Dan thinks he belong with them... no way buddy, not a fat chance. Fans probably want to see old man couture more than you....

[piedpiperz80]

I am a fan and in my opinion Dan is a champion fighter - he did hold two belts in two weight classes at the same time + he knocks people out. I want to see him fight Anderson again... seems people have forgotten the first round of the fight last time they met. I haven't seen Anderson in that position before.

[jeffsst]

+ he is way better technically then in his pride days or ever... he almost killed bisping easely. i would bet on henderson for shure.

[merrickmcbride16]

i didnt know he hunted...he is now my second favorite fighter right behind matt hughes.....then spencer fisher

[blade83336]

lesnar hunts 2

[Jangaboo]

Dana White fights with everyone, someone really should punch him in the face

[lebagel]

he sounds the same as lesnar

[jopat1926]

yah vitor shouldnt have gotten immediate shot..not fair at all..no one has to work for a title shot including brock..other guys have to work he didnt..unfair

[blade83336]

anderson silva only beat chris leben n got a tittle shot in his 2nd ufc debut, but yea fighters like jon fitch work n win there ass off n dont get tittle shots

[KJGould]

Not only did Hendo beat Vitor, Vitor popped for roids strraight afterwards. Something UFC would rather forget.

[Yalashaska]

Anderson beat Hendo in 2008, hendo beat belfort in 2006, Anderson beat Marquardt in 2007, so theres the difference, Belfort and Anderson never fought, plus Belfort now its healthier mentally and physically, free of drugs and improving, How's your eye?

[KJGould]

It's obvious why they're making Belfort fight Silva next. They don't want to give Belfort an opportunity to flake out and kill yet another title fight.

Stupidly Hendo has loads more momentum from beating Bisping and the way he did then Belfort does beating Franklin. Hendo's an american Hero for what he did at UFC 100.

Hendo should fight Silva next, then Belfort fights the winner.

[RajHDGaming]

Yeh well Bisping isnt a top 10 middleweight, yes Hendo beat him impressively but you must look at his UFC record as of late, lost to Rampage & Silva, boring decision win against Palhares, close decision win against Franklin & of course Bisping KO. Vitor has finished his last 3 opponents..including Franklin quickly which hendo couldnt. Silva has already beaten down Hendo thats why the UFC thinks the fans rather watch a new challenger fight Silva first rather than a rematch.

[KJGould]

Of course BIsping's not top 10. But neither were Lindland or Martin at the time Belfort beat them. Plus hardly anyone saw it happen, since hardly anyone bought the Affliction shows.

In terms of exposure, a whole season of TUF where Hendo comes across as the good guy, culminating in the biggest UFC event of all time in UFC 100, and ending the way it did with that knockout puts Hendo head & shoulders above Belfort when it comes to an easy-to-market fight. Belfort's been in purgatory comparitively

[elheadkickio]

Knocking out Bisping was really great, but for the most part, Hendo's performances in the UFC don't warrant paying him as much as Dana insinuated he wanted. If he'd won one of his two consecutive title shots, things would be different, but I hope Dan comes back down to earth a little so that the MW title picture can be sorted out.

[hoodfigga33]

these guys keep bickering who gets to fight anderson, but nobody knows what anderson is going to do once his contract expires with the ufc, nobody has a clue, the spider, is very very smart, and he plans to quit the game when on top, i dont see any of these guys beating him, he will probably retire before that happens.

[heardcountybrave]

Agreed. I really think they need to get on a true ranking system and stop all the stupid crap of fighters coming out of nowhere getting title shots from one or no fights. Also, I like Dan but he really needs to stop complaining about his contracts, and decide what he wants to do. All this drama with the UFC is beginning to turn me off as a fan. Lesnar is a prime example of a guy getting a title shot when Carwin was 11 and 0! Not only that, he got a rematch with Mir when Carwin deserved it more.

[HoosierMP]

heard...i agreed with you all the way up until you mentioned Lesnar...Lesnar is a beast...You don't think he "earned" his title shot? He was ready for it; that's how he "earned" it and he proved it by winning...yes he did get a rematch with Mir; but that was becuz Mir was the interim-champ and thus #1 contender...he obliterated Mir BOTH times they fought; just the first time he made a rookie mistake and got caught...Keep in mind that Couture only had 3 fights in when he got his 1st title shot.

[heardcountybrave]

Yea, Hoosier I can understand that reasoning, but seriously, both Cain Velasquez and Shane Carwin are undefeated and Lesnar got a title fight at 1-1 I think? In the beginning it should have been the Nog and Couture that fought to solidify the belt and have exhibition matches between the others to see who fought for it. Too many fighters are jumping past others just off reputation or accomplishments in other organizations. The UFC is in desperate need of a ranking system.

[thuglyf121212]

i agree wat u said there man! LESNAR OVERRATTED FIGHTER!! only think going for lesnar that his making money for DANA! KIMBO WILL MAKE MORE MONEY LOT OF PPL LIKE HIM. EVEN HIS NOT THAT GOOD!! DANA U NEED TO SORT THIS OUT!!

[HoosierMP]

so if Lesnar is "overrated", then is Mir overrated? Couture? Who in the HW division can beat Lesnar? i think you need to answer those questions before you go callin' Lesnar "overrated"...Why would the whole MMA world want Lesnar vs Fedor if Lesnar is sooo "overrated"? What experience do YOU have making evaluations of fighters...seems all the true MMA "experts" say Brock is legit and will hold on to that belt as long as he wants too...Get over it, bud...Brock is the champ...quit hatin'.

[HoosierMP]

ok...i see your point...but who has Carwin beat? Gonzaga? i can go to local MMA shows and find HW fighters that have just as good of records as Carwin...so do those fighters deserve a shot? i guess what is failed to be mentioned is that when Lesnar was put to the test each and every time, he's passed them...if he wasn't legit, Couture would've stopped him...Mir would've beaten him again; or least made it a fight...and they do have a ranking system; it's just Dana's ranking of the fighters...

[heardcountybrave]

Your losing focus here. It's not about who they have beaten, it's about how many fights they have had for the UFC organization. It's about putting in your work, to get those fights. I'm saying Lesnar should have been held to the same standard as Cain and Carwin. Lesnar got a title fight after beating Heath Hearing....Really? So, you can't use the "Who have they fought?" Card. Dana picking the fights are on opinions not rankings. Belfort doesn't deserve a title shot yet, but he got it anyways.

[HoosierMP]

i agree with you on the Belfort not deserving a title shot...but if Couture could get a title shot with only 3 pro fights; then why can't Lesnar? is there any arguement that he is one of the best HW in the world? and understanding the business side of things, it made perfect sense to give Lesnar a shot...Think back to win he was given that title shot...they had a 4 man tournament...Brock-Couture & Mir-Nog...Lesnar won out...He's put in the time & work...Shouldn't the best be wearing the belt?

[heardcountybrave]

Things have changed for the UFC and they have waaay more fighters then they used to. 3 fights is better than 1 loss and 1 win title shot. I'm not saying Lesnar wouldn't eventually win the belt but I don't agree with giving a title shot on who they are. It's time for the UFC to adapt into a true sport and not fall into something like the WWF that only does it for the money. What's going to happen if Cain or Carwin beat Lesnar. All that hype will be washed away, and it criticized he got the belt

[HoosierMP]

i agree, i don't want it turning into a WWE type of business either...HOWEVER...it is a business...Brock is one of the most polarizing athletes today; forget MMA...But he also lives up to the hype...he is the best HW in the UFC...period...who can beat him? so isn't a good thing to have him as champ if he is the best? anybody else being champ would be a joke & would be considered a paper champion...we all know Brock is the best, so why does "number of fights in" really matter if he's the best?

[heardcountybrave]

Best Champion in UFC? He hasn't proved that. Anderson Silva has proved he is the best pound-for-pound fighter. People want to see Lesnar lose, that's why he is popular. The guy is a disgrace to the sport. Watch or read interviews of Carwin and Cain. They are humble, intelligent, and respectful fighters. Being the best is more than just winning in the cage. It's about all aspects of it. It is a business. The UFC is NOT HURTING to make these fights. They need to get back to what made them great.

[HoosierMP]

i never said "best champion in the UFC"....but Brock is the best HW in the UFC...Brock is actually quite humble...i suggest for you to read some and watch some interviews on him...the guy is a simple country boy...the difference is, he has a different mindset then other fighters...He goes into the octagon ready for war...he takes the pre-fight talk personal to motivate himself...he got along great with Couture; but maybe that's becuz Couture didn't disrespect him...but Mir? Mir was an asshole.

[heardcountybrave]

Actually I do and watching the pre-fight interviews of UFC 100 and his reaction to beating Mir then disgracing the fans and UFC's sponsors. I know Lesnar's type, he is spoiled and had everything handed to him. You can't say he is the best HW until he has cleaned out the division.

[HoosierMP]

You obviously do NOT know Lesnar's type!! He is HIGHLY competitive...He prepares himself like he is going to war...unless you're either THAT competitive or have actually been to war you wouldn't be able to begin to comprehend or fathom that mindset...He came from Webster, SD and was a poor farm kid...every thing he has, he EARNED with HIS blood, sweat, and tears...HE put in the time to make himself a world class athlete and is a great example of hard work paying off...You do NOT know his type.

[heardcountybrave]

No I don't respect his type, there is a difference. I believe ANYONE in a position like that, especially being a champion, should be a role model for kids and up and coming fighter. Someone kids could look up to for motivation not excuses. Not to teach kids to be disrespectful and unsportsmanlike because of a poor me, pitty, or my life was hard growing up excuse. We all go through hard times, trashing people is never good. Being competitive and being a down right prick are two different things.

[tinman765]

Mir an asshole ? look brock talks just as much shit as mir does ok, every freaking fighter does that. In the first match mir vs lesnar, brock said he's was going to beat mir's ass and look what happened he got submitted, ok. So don't talk shit about mir. Mir was being cocky, but lesnar talk shit all the time. Wait till you see when somone comes along to fight brock, brock is going to be talking more shit than anyone else and eventually he will get beaten. Lets see how much shit he'll be talking

[HoosierMP]

and as for Cain....i would have a problem with Cain being champ....and actually i do have a problem with him being glorified in any way...the guy has Brown Pride tat'd across his chest...the way i see perceive that, i see that as racist...can you imagine the UFC having a white champion who has white pride tat'd on him? That fighter would be a disgrace to not just the UFC; but the entire MMA world...and i don't dig the double standard that is given to Cain...so i wouldn't call him respectful.

[heardcountybrave]

Wow, dude the more I talk to you the more I realize you have no idea what you are talking about. You give a guy that is over hyped and disrespectful all the praise for accomplishments that don't prove anything. All I was trying to say is he didn't deserve a title shot as early as he did and after 5 fights, WITH NO TITLE DEFENSES, you dismiss him as the best HW. You say oh, he builds himself up for a fight, I say it's disrespect REGARDLESS of when it is done or in what manner.

[TheYellowFlash7171]

i have faith in at least one man in this world now and thats you. even though i dont like lesnar cough cough

[princeofcrime]

dont hate on some who has luv for his people and ur right it is a double standard but over the decades minorities have earned that right whats tat'd on him shouldnt have anything to do with respect

[sevndst1frk]

actually lesnar got an unaired fight with a legit fighter to enter ufc first, then he fought mir, then he fought the texas crazy horse (at the moment his name escapes me), then randy couture. he was 2 and 1 when he face couture.

[LeeUnited4eva]

ino he did but like vitors alot younger n his last win was impressive like come on O_o

i respect hendo n wat hes done for the sport but right now i gota say id be more pumped to see vitor vs anderson silva then hendo vs silva

[LeeUnited4eva]

lol hendo didn't get the title shot cause lets face it his 1st shot at anderson wasn't overly impressive n the way vitor did in his last fight this fight makes a shit load more intresting then hendo's last fight with anderson .....

[region1111]

hendo beat vitor
