    Is a great day to be a Henderson fan. I was rooting for him all the way. Knew he'd have some trouble as Feijao can bang but never expected that. Dan was born to fight. PRIDE Welterweight title. PRIDE Middleweight title. SF Light Heavy title. Ring of Kings tourny champ. UFC 17 tourny winner. Thats a dam impressive list. Guys a lock for the top 10 of all time if you ask me.

    He has insane power and looked the much smaller man in the ring.

    That might have something to say about Shields' abilities.

    You simply can't stand with that guy and expect to survive.

    Really thought Feijao was going to be something special.

    He is. He just happened to meet an MMA legend in Dan Henderson.

    Yea after the first round hendo was able to keep the fight standing for the most part. I had a feeling it was only a matter of time until he lands that big right hook.

    Feijao did pretty good and even hurt hendo in the first round. It's been a while since i saw hendo hurt. Not even rampage hurt him like feijao did. Can't wait to see hendo vs king mo or mousasi.

    Hendo destroys Mo. Mo doesn't have the stand up or the wrestling to keep up with Hendo. Mousasi is more interesting. But he's virtually useless on the ground. So id take Hendo to grind him out a decision on the mat.

    Yea i would love to see hendo vs mousasi next. Mousasi got a pretty good striking and hendo loves to mixed it up so this fight should be interesting. Hope it happens next.

    Really pleased for Hendo last night. The guy's record speaks for itself.

    Hendo would brutalize Moussai. Hendo is better than Lawal at wrestling and better than Mossai in striking.

    Hendo definitely isn't better than Mousasi at striking. Hendo has a huge right hand, but that's about it.

    Yeah because Mussai has that faux MT, boxing..I dont know what he has but he aint much better than Franklin.

    That Hendo right hand and his range with that hand is better than anything Gerard does. And lets be honest, Hendo is going to slam him on his head.

    Are you basing your entire knowledge of Mousasi on the King Mo fight? I think you probably are.
