Dan Henderson

It is true.

But, you know, do you remember UFC 103 in Dallas a long-ass time ago? But, like, they tried to rebook or make a rematch between Franklin and Dan Henderson.

Do you remember this? They actually announced it.

They're like, this is what we're going to do.

John Fitch, for example.

When I think of someone who's ability to wrestle simply degraded over the course of their career like Dan Henderson just like wasn't a good just wasn't a good defensive wrestler and just didn't seem to care

yeah

yeah But he could barely bend his knees.

He couldn't even bend at the waist, Dan Henderson, at the end of his career.

So, of course, he couldn't sprawl.

But that is also, I think, where some of it comes from.

I'm just picturing unbidden the image of Henderson getting, I think it was ankle picked by Daniel Cormier came to mind.

This is, again, back in the early 2000s.

It was me, Frank Shamrock, Matt Lindland, Dan Henderson.

There's a bunch of us MMA guys at that time that were in this film in one capacity or the other.

But I played the lead bad guy in this movie.

You remember UFC 151, and I think 176 was the other one.

Those pay-per-views that just basically disappeared from the timeline, they got canceled because the one was Dan Henderson gets injured by Sokuju in his training or something.

The John Jones, that whole sport killer thing that was happening, they tried to get Chael Sonnen and John Jones, all that stuff.

I don't remember, like, if you have it pulled up, do you see what the rest of that card was? Because I remember, like, it was, from what I remember, it was, like, a fairly well-constructed card, but they canceled it once you lose your main event.

Also, I think like a year after that, Team Quest moved into another building.

And then that's now called the Dan Henderson Fitness Center, which is obviously owned by Dan Henderson, which is a UFC fucking legend.

And it's kind of fucking crazy.

So I got into Muay Thai back then.

I recognize.

But we've got a problem to solve, right? We have to solve the problem, okay? One of them is you could just cancel the event, and there is, like when Jon Jones refused to fight, was it Chael Sonnen on short notice, right? When Dan Henderson...

was out, or no, yeah, Dan Harrison falls out, and he doesn't do it, and they just got rid of 151.

There just never was a 151.

I think maybe someone smashed it down.

You know what I'm saying? One time I went to Denny's and the waitress said, is that your brother to me and Dan Henderson? And I was like,

what? Offended.

She's like, well, you guys got the same deformities.

The competition's over.

It's not like he was going to go do a freaking Dan Henderson flying elbow like they did on Bisbee.

What are you talking about, dude? And then the spinning, he was kind of, it looked like maybe it's natural muscle movement where he was going to throw a spinning back elbow.

That would have been a nightmare for him.
