Do you guys consider Dan Henderson one of the greatest of all time?

[Mr. IWS]

I gotta admit, when I think of some of the sports all time greats, His name doesn't come to mind, but this is pretty impressive:

After knocking out Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante, the 40-year-old now boasts the promotion's light-heavyweight championship. Aside from that, he's held PRIDE 183- and 205-pound titles, the PRIDE 2005 welterweight Grand Prix crown, the RINGS King of Kings tournament championship back in 1999, the UFC middleweight tournament championship in 1998, and of course, he was a two-time U.S. wrestling Olympian.

Speaking of Hendo.



Home boy is on the ground like..."I ain't even mad."

Hendo's a bad motherfucker, but not the GOAT.

If you look at his record, and look at when he fought top fighters, there are a lot more Ls than Ws. And I think it's pretty well accepted that some of his bigger wins were also gift decisions.

That's not to take anything away from him, though. He's obviously awesome.

The GOAT ......no

One of the GOAT .....yes

[Mr. IWS]

Im not saying the greatest, but one of the greatest.

[MMA_scientist]

I put him at the edge of the all time top 10. The sport is so young, there really aren't a lot of all timers yet. Fedor, A. Silva, W. Silva, Hughes, Ortiz, Liddell, Couture, Nog, Penn (I personally would put Hendo ahead of Randy)... then there is a massive drop off in accomplishments. Even a guy like GSP has only defended his title 5 times handful of times. I am sure I am forgetting a lot of guys, but those were the guys that popped into my head as all time greats.

[Thewisemann]

One of the greatest, for sure.

[SPX]

Fedor, A. Silva, W. Silva, Hughes, Ortiz, Liddell, Couture, Nog, Penn

You forgot Justin Buchholz.

Same level as Couture, IMO.

Also, as far as actual accomplishment and quality of wins, it's GSP and Anderson by a country mile.

"Sources close to the Russian say he is giving serious consideration to the prospect of fighting newly crowned Dan Henderson at 205 pounds.

The prospect of the fight was put to him by Strikeforce before the weekend’s Henderson/Feijao showdown.

Negotiations are underway and - if past experience is anything to go by - are likely to go on for some time. But the fight is of interest to all parties and is likely to happen later this year."

I saw that yesterday.......bad idea imo.

[SPX]

Bad idea why?

I agree with those two but I think you'd have to make it a 3 way tie and add Fedor

[edman5555]

Henderson vs Fedor would be awesome.
