The guy at 44 is still a threat and an accomplished person to watch.
Im 38 and the guy still makes the dudes in my age group want to kick ass like he does.
Looking forward to the fight tomorrow. Tim is tough but I think Dan breaks out the grit that makes him a fan favorite.
VivaLaRaza - No, hes one of MMA's most notorious TRT users ( "legal" rioding)
While hopped up on TRT i.e substance that is now banned, he shortened the careers of Bisbing, Fedor, and Shogun
Talked subtle shit about opponents and made excuses for all his losses
Very over hyped, as in - he never had a dominant run at any weight class+got awarded many gift decisions, yet hes talked about as a GOAT
Personally I never understood why Hendo was such a "fan favorite"
Only the criminal Jones is worse than Hendo in my eyes. There are only 2 fighters who I would be glad to see get starched out KOd...Jones and Hendo...Jones is way over hyped too (beat nothing but MWs and shot fighters/nothing but size and reach)
In another thread you say shogun is off limits to trash talk for his accomplishments, and then here you trash Hendo and jones.
Thai guy I am disappoint

Your entitled to your "opinion"... but many will disagree with you here.
Hendo has had a legendary 18 year career fighting at the highest level. He consistently fought top opponents, and never had a significant drop in competition. In other words, Hendo never padded his record in the "B Leagues".
He is also a "fighter" in the pure sense of the word. He never backed down from anyone and never resorted to "point fighting" just to get a win. Hendo would just "throw down", sometimes to a fault.
Guys like Hendo, Don Frye, Igor Vovcnanchyn, Wanderlei, etc. ALWAYS made NHB/MMA more of a "fight" than a "sport". This is part of the reason people love these fighters!
As far as whatever PEDs you want to bring up.... you really think Hendo didn't fight guys doing similar things throughout his career?
This whole PED which hunt is silly and uninformed.
HENDO is one of the toughest and best fighters to ever set foot in a ring or a cage! Truly one of the all time greats!
