My Take
Dan Henderson is, for my money, one of the toughest men the sport has produced. An Olympic wrestler who became the only double champion in Pride history, then a Strikeforce title holder, he fought everyone and feared no one. That fabled right hand, the H-Bomb, turned him into must-watch television well into his forties. What I respect most is the refusal to fade quietly; he kept marching forward against bigger, younger opponents. The fact that he later moved into business leadership only underscores the discipline beneath the violence. He is a throwback warrior I will always have time for.
