Henderson was top 10 before those recent wins. The only man to hold 2 belts in 2 different weight classes at the same time, Pride GP Champion, Rings tournament Champion, UFC tournament winner and Brazil Open winner. Add in wins vs Nogueira, Babalu, Wanderlei, Renzo, Bustamante 2x etc hes a top 5 in my book.
Without a doubt. Hendo is a stud. To think that he's still competing at such a high level after all these years confirms the living legend that he is. And like Jimmie says his recent wins didnt sneak him in. He was top 10 long before that. His run in PRIDE is proof of his worth.
i voted no but after i did i couldnt think of more then 9 names ahead of him and he falls at 10 exactly. so yea i guess but if i come up with 1 more guy i remember that had a better legacy hes #11.
I would say so. The one thing that counts against him is he never really was the #1 guy for a sustained run, but the quality and size of his opponents is really what gets him in.
Mate just wondering what the word STUD means for u?? I have heard alot of Yanks use the world when describing another fighter etc.. Here in OZ the word means you are good with the ladies:yep and we dont usually call other blokes one..
It means that over here in the UK too. But a Stud is also a a selective bred animal. It was a term used for Slaves who physically had all the attributes to make an excellent field hand.
He might squeez in at 10. Beebs got it right. He never really dominated a division. Though he was always the top dog to fight.
He belongs in the top 10 tied with a large number of people. Really depends on what day it is for me.
