41 Year Old Dan Henderson Looking To Fight For Three More Years
“I’ve got three more fights on my deal, and I’ll probably sign one more deal after that. So two or three more years [left] I definitely won’t be as old as Randy [Couture] when I retire!… I’ve changed my training, I’m smarter with my training. I’m also smarter with my positioning and techniques. I know what works and what doesn’t. And I’m still learning from those at my gym. I guess others lose motivation but my I know my time is limited and I want to make the most of it.”
MMA great Dan Henderson looks to stay active for another 2-3 years. Already at the ripe age of 41 one has to commend the aging legend for staying relevant as long as he has.
Anyone who thinks his age is affecting his performances needs to check out his reel of highlights. Hendo hasn’t dropped a bout in two-years and has had successful runs in three different weight classes as of late.

Who gives a ****?
I DO!
Everyone gives a **** you ass. Stop reading articles if you don’t care.
I agree any TRUE fan of MMA cares about Dan hendersen. the man is a legend in sport. You will never hear Dan Hendersen tell the fans in 500 words or more (LIKE GSP DOES) how he won’t fight someone who outweighs him by 10 pounds and how he will need to take 2 years and gain 5 pound sof muscle so he can fight Andersen Silva. No you see Dan Hendersen (UNLIKE GSP) is a warrior who is not afraid ro fight nay man win or lose. GSP needs to co-write a book with Greg Jackson caledl “GAMEPLANS FOR PUSSYS”
You should really change your name to GSP basher or something. Everything i’ve read you’ve given a brief thought about the topic then bashed GSP. Oh and Hendo is the greatest p4p ever, love to see him for two more years.
alright dude you’re really going to bash gsp? let’s see what he has accomplished compared to the OTHER WW champs, defended his belt more than five times, done so in convincing fashion and has been around before the first cast of tuf hi win streak is undeniable and a contributing factor to how capable gsp shows himself as an athlete and fighter, but not to take anything away from hendo a true legend and has fought some high level competition and only lost to that caliber of fighters and you might wanna learn how to spell his name if you’re gonna metntion him H-E-N-D-E-R-S-O-N
Plenty of people who watch MMA. I think you made a wrong turn somewhere. The Nickelodeon website is thataway kiddo —————>
That will all go out the window after you fight Jones!
he can beat jones
Jones better worry about someone other then Hendo dont you think?
WARRRRRRRRRR HENNNNNNDDDDOOOOOOOOOO
**** Henderson, TRT bullshit
Trt is a hell of a drug!
+10
With all the ped’s he takes, why not 10 years?
TRT is ****ing bullshit, **** dan henderson. I hope Jones mauls him so bad that he can never walk again and has to be fed through a tube.
i hope you have a child who is born with 3 fingers and then dies 2 days later.
I really don’t understand why everyone hates on TRT. You know what, just shut the **** up. You’re just haters that won’t say a damn thing to anyone who is on TRT face.
U guys are so ****ing stupid !!! I gaurntee u Jones and pretty much everyone esle in the ufc is using trt or someother prefromancing drug. Just cause they dont say it to get caught u wanna be know it all internet pussies think there god or some shit. U have no idea about Fighting or anything that goes along with it. **** Hendo ??? Really??? He is a Soon to be Hall of Famer. He has beat all the best guys he is a cool guy to talk to and his one of the most entertaining fighters in mma period. He was won belts in all the major orginazations and will win the ufc belt b4 he retires.. All u Jones nut Hugers are pathetic u think he is invincible… Im not saying he is really good but anyone can loose and espically when u underestimate people because of ur ego. Mark my words and if im wrong ill eat them but rahasd is gonna beat jones ass and get his belt back. That is all I welcome all the Jones lovers comments i like to read them and laugh at how stupid u r. Hendo Ruels !!!!!!!!!
+1 ^^^^^ these Hendo haters are morons. And they don’t think all these ****in guys are using some kind of ped? Hendo gets tested before and after his fights. His levels are in the normal zone, so it’s not cheating. If he didn’t take trt his levels would be below the normal zone. So u trt hatin bitches eat a dick, u aren’t intelligent enough to argue with. You guys are just some uneducated, baby dick trolls.
JONES AND JONES AND JONES ……………2-3 things to make clear for all you dumb ****ers here …. HOW DARE ALL YOU PUSSYS TALK TO HENDERSON LIKE THAT??? Henderson is the BEST FIGHTER EVER that came from usa !!!!!!!!!! he have more than 10 years in Pro MMA from pride to ufc to ufc to strikeforce and now to ufc again and guess what ALL YOU MOTHER****ER ?? HENDO IS A LEGEND SOMETHING THAT JONES CAN NEVER BE ..ANN IDOL !! LIKE FEDOR ,BJ PENN , ANDERSON SILVA.. and who the **** is jones?? A TALL SKINNY ****ER WITH A REACH ADVANTAGE …WHO THINK IS THE BEST??? BECAUSE CAN HIT LIKE A ***** FROM DISTANCE AND DO FLASHY THINGS BECAUSE NO ONE IN THAT DIVISION HAS THE REACH TO PUNCH HIM ?? IF HE IS SO GOOD WHY DON’T FIGHT IN HW DIVISION ????GUYS WITH THE SAME REACH LIKE HIM??? DOS SANTOS VS JONES OR ANY OTHER HW??? HAHAHAHAH I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT…
Give the young man time,he’ already beaten the whos who in the LHW div and he’s 23 years old,how sick is that? And yes he’s black but also from the good ole USA,yup same country as Hendo….go figure!! Jon will move up to HW hopefully after the Rashad fight,cause personally there won’t be anyone left to challenge him,unless of course your a Gustafson fan,which I think will end up like the Bader fight if it does happen…so yea I believe he will make the move to HW and eventually get the title there as well.
that niggas bout to be 25. Gustafson will smash on jon jones.
what a ****… r u stupid or something?? SICK???NOT AT ALL…. SHOGUN WAS YOUNGER THAN JONES WHEN HE START BEAT GUYS !!!! i talk about the best fighter of all times that came from USA !!! and you mention the JONES????? JONES sleep in the night and dreaming to archive what hendo did in the sport!!!!!! tell your skinny buddy to start show some respect to the legends of the sport and stop being so COCKY … DID YOU EVER HEAR SHOGUN OR MACHIDA OR HENDERSON TO TALK LIKE JONES DOES ??? I GUARANTEE YOU ONLY ONE THING …. JONES IS THE CHAMP BECAUSE OF THAT HUGE reach ADVANTAGE…. NOT BECAUSE HE IS A BETTER STRIKER THAN SHOGUN OR A BETTER WRESTLER THAN EVANS !!! look what did to Machida because of that ****ING reach advantage …A STANDING CHOKE…AND GUESS WHAT….THE ONLY REASON THAT ARCHIVE THAT IS BECAUSE OF HIS LONG HANDS…..THATS ALL!!!!! HOPE SOME DAY HE GOES WERE HE BELONGS TO.. TO HW DIVISION and.. WE SEE IF AFTER THE 1ST PUNCH THAT HE EAT IN THE FACE CAN DO ALL THAT STUPID THINGS HE DOES… WITH GUYS LIKE HIM !!!! TITLE IN HW???? to let him MAKE A NUCKLEAR BOMB IS MORE CLOSE TO REALITY THAN TAKE THE HW TITLE !!!!
Jones is 24.
