Dan Henderson is a horrible matchup for Jon Jones.

I recently have been thinking about how these 2 match-up and i'm having a hard time seeing how the champion defends his belt.

 

Standing- On the feet Jon is at a very big disadvantage. Dan has the best right hand in the sport and some of the most brutal one punch KO power ever displayed in MMA. Sure Jon has his reach and will try to jab and front kick while running and try to play the distance game but Dan is going to rush in after him because he has an iron chin and Jon has pillow fists so he pretty much has nothing to worry about.

 

Wrestling- Let's take a look at their wrestling credentials. Jon was a Junior College champ which is like banging Sarah Jessica Parker, nothing to brag about. Meanwhile, Dan is a Grecco-Roman olympian. Jon's double legs have always been overrated (See fights against Rampage and Rashad) he gets his TD's mainly from trips and throws in the clinch which is where Dan shines with that Grecco-Roman background.

 

Again, i'm having a hard time seeing where Jon defends his title here.

 

Dan Henderson, 1st RD KO.

Dan Henderson got taken down by Rampage, Shields and Slobum of all people.

 

With that said. Hendo via KO

The Rampage fight was Rampage in his prime. No shame in that. That was the best Rampage that has ever competed in MMA, no LHW could have beaten him that night.

 

The Shields fight he had an injured lower back, my dad has that all time time and he can't even friggin move bro. It's serious. And his weight cut was hell.

 

The Shogun fight he gassed punching himself out for 15 mins which won't be the case with Jon, no way he takes that kind of punishment.

 

 

However, agreed, Hendo by KO.

Fixed.

 

Fair enough. If this fight stays standing, Jones is in for one humble *** kicking by his elder.

Good luck. I think the majority of mma fans would like to see this disrespecful coward KTFO and taken down a couple noches. Arrogant champions like jones shouldn't exist.

 

I agree, that doesn't change the fact that Henderson isn't going to be the guy to do it.

 

IMO Jones shouldn't be allowed to fight in any sanctioned organization until the truth about Nikegate and his marital infideltiy comes out.

Have been saying this for months. Not sure why everybody is looking over Hendo.

 

Most experienced fighter Jones has ever fought.

Most power.

Best wrestler

Can't be KO'd and almost impossible to submit unless your name is Anderson Silva.

Maybe the best cardio.

 

Jones is getting into a fight and LOL at people that think this is going to be Bader pt. 2

 

I would love to see Hendo win brutally but this made me laugh.

Op you need only llook at a MUCH smaller wrestler in Jake Shields and what he did to Hendo's Hbomb and wrestling.He embarrassed Hendo,he made Hendo look like a turtle flipped over on the beach.

Is Hendo the type of fighter you really want as the bragging point for the 205 division?He only ever had ONE skill>>>wrestling,but not able to load up on roids anymore,lack of cardio and lack of training has removed his wrestling ability.So he is left with literally no skills at all.He should be an easy win for any decent 205 fighter.

 

Sadly Hendo is done,so he will only take big name fights.However i would love to see him fight Jimmo after he loses badly to Jones.Jimmo with the right mind set could speed bag Hendo.

 

Honestly after Hendo loses,i see hi mbeing at least 3 fights away from another shot,he might just retire or go grab a big pay cheque form SF ,idk what he is going to do next.Maybe he will call out Shields for a rematch lol,might as well get totally embarrassed to finish out his careeer.

Here is the one thing that shows just how crap Hendo is.

We all know by his latest comments how he trashed talked Shield's.Well USUALLY guys that feel they were embarrassed want rematches yet Hendo wants no part of Shield's.He is merely picking money fights and is hoping for a lucky shot ,nothing more,he is highly outclassed in this fight.
