Daniel Henderson

Dan Henderson is an athlete and athlete who competed for the MMA and UFC light heavyweight associations. The wrestler has a lot of awards and regalia. He became the last Strikeforce champion and found himself in the same status at the Pride Fighting Championships. Dan was the first to win two championship belts in MMA. At the time of his retirement, the athlete was the oldest fighter in the UFC.

Dan Henderson was born in California on August 24, 1970. In his ancestry were ancestors of English and French origin, as well as those who were attributed to the American Indians.

In high school, the boy went to the wrestling section. In 1987, the young man represented the school at the profile championship as part of the team, became the winner of a silver medal in the state competitions. A year later, Henderson was already national champions in two areas: Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling.

In college, Dan did not leave training, equally paying attention to two types of wrestling sports. He has been able to strengthen his position and achieve new successes. Representing the university, the athlete three times became the champion of youth national competitions.

In 1993, Henderson was invited to participate in the Olympic Games, but he was not lucky enough to demonstrate a good result. At the competition in Barcelona, he took the 10th place, and four years later at the Olympics in Atlanta was 12th, but in 1995 Dan Henderson managed to win a bronze medal of the Pan American Games. This is the competition that determines the best athlete among athletes in the Americas.

The fighter was 180 cm tall and weighed 84 kg.

Gradually, Henderson's attention began to attract and mixed martial arts. The athlete held his debut 13 fights within the MMA association, simultaneously participating in fights in Greco-Roman and classical wrestling. In 2000 he was again selected to participate in the Olympics. But Henderson decided not to try his luck and focused on mixed martial arts, retiring from professional wrestling. As a result, he received a contract with the promotion of Pride MMA.

The athlete's sports biography was intense. He met with eminent opponents, including the defeated Vitor Belfort and Vanderlei Silva. But in a duel with Jackson Jackson, Henderson was defeated.

Having changed the category in the UFC to the middleweight, Dan performed in a fight against the reigning champion Anderson Silva. He performed well in attack, controlled the game, but the opponent caught the opponent by surprise and plunged to the floor of the Octagon.

2011 was the most successful year in the entire career of the wrestler. In the spring, he won the belt, standing in a fight with Rafael Cavalcante, and for the first time tried himself in the heavyweight title, coming out in the Octagon against Fedor Emelianenko. Both athletes were Pride champions at the time. Hendo managed to defeat the heavyweight and win the fight by knockout. This was not expected even by the most devoted fans of the athlete.

In the same year there was a meeting with the Brazilian ring star Mauricio Rua, who at that time was also among the veterans. Hendo managed to win. Then for a year and a half the athlete was out of action and returned to the ring only in 2013. Dan obviously conceded to his rivals.

In 2014, in UFC 173, Henderson lost to Daniel Cormier, and in 2015 he was defeated by 1st round by TKO in the 1st round. Realizing that at the 42 years of competition with young athletes looks boring and ineffective, the UFC has appointed a rematch with Vitor Belfort. The fight ended with Henderson's knockout. He was the first in the entire biography of the athlete, but even this fact did not force Dan to end his career.

A rematch with Mauricio Rua followed, in which Henderson managed to withstand and snatch victory. But in 2017 Hendo lost in a fight with Michael Bisping.
