Dan Henderson vs Renzo Gracie [Fight Highlights]

#pride #danhenderson #renzogracie
Gracie started with Pride back at their first event in 1997 where he and Akria Shoji fought to a draw. Following the draw, Gracie stacked up four straight wins over Sanae Kikuta, Alexander Otsuka, Watura Skata and Maurice Smith. But then he hit a rough patch losing to Kiyoshi Tamura and Kazushi Sakuraba. Hoping to get back on track Gracie shifted his focus to a meeting against Henderson.

Renzo's shot was so telegraphed. He saw it coming every time.

[@papawshane]

Hard to see what took him down at first, but on that last camera angle, you can see his fist making contact with Renzo's chin. Henderson is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the video!

A bully getting LAID TO REST.

The fight where Hendo realized he could sleep people.

[@pistolpaulie4871]

Love the effectiveness of boxing 🥊 mixed in with wrestling!

[@pistolpaulie4871]

Renzo looked frustrated with no answer to Dan take down defense and boxing 🥊.

[@marcoleone8189]

Weak takedown attempts, should have worked with high level wrestlers to improve that part of his game. Bjj level takedowns and wrestler level takedowns are two very different worlds.

[@mubarkqardas46]

Especially an olympian.

[@bolsbolbol368]

This is just a horrible matchup for Renzo. He's not going to win this fight unless it's with his famous guillotine. Hendo has a huge right hand and Renzo didn't want it so he rushed those clinch attempts. Front and side kicks to bother distance would have been better than those roundhouse kicks Renzo tried.

Fkn hate music and commentary’s in vids

[@rrtodd95]

Surprised the whole Gracie family didn't come in the ring and jump Dan.

[@JohneeBusk]

The way Hendo reacted, you can tell there was a mutual respect.

[@metalhardrock]

Cuando vio que Renzo estaba groggy podía haber seguido pegándole, y no lo hizo. Mucha deportividad. Dos leyendas de las MMA,

Great sportsmanship. Dan is a class act as they say

[@taylorrenee4880]

Yeah, like throwing haymakers on knocked out opponents. Real sportsmanlike. He’s a clown and deserved to get knocked out every time he did.

[@douglas_costa10]

No começo do MMA que era LUTA LIVRE acho que nem JON JONES venceria os GRACIES realmente eles eram imbatíveis. Porém depois que o VALE TUDO foi se tornando MMA e os lutadores começaram a estudar e se aperfeiçoar eles infelizmente se tornaram lutadores medíocres pra ser legal e respeitoso com eles, totalmente ultrapassados, Gracie não sabe socar chutar, quedar, são tudo desengonçado chegam a parecer lutadores amadores competindo contra profissionais.

[@maskup3661]

Isso condiz exatamente que eles eram do JIU JITSU não MMA

[@Braz438]

Não é atoa q os Gracie hoje em dia não tem mais destaque no MMA...kkk

[@rikolopes5316]

Eles eram imbatíveis em lutas armadas com as regras deles e o juízes a favor, isso quando não era preciso desligar o disjuntor pra apagar a luz do ginásio.

[@gilbertospadotto6703]

Em q planeta um grace venceria o dan henderson?

[@flowrepins6663]

thats what happens when you dont know striking and keep desperately attempting to take down a wrestler the same way

[@bolsbolbol368]

He's fighting a legend Henderson show some respect. Gave up a lot of weight too. Renzo has boxed plenty and outboxed a number of his opponents as well. Conditioning was his main weakness. He could fight long but would visibly gas. Renzo was not a ped user. Renzo also has the biggest balls of anyone out there, you should find a different fighter to talk crap about.

[@ciscodiaz5786]

You're literally an idiot. Alot of Gracie's purposely kept a fight standing up to work on their boxing. Renzo is one of the most respected fighters in mma history. Show some respect. To even challenge Henderson and attempt to stand up was of course a lose. The Gracie's always were trying to work on their stand up. Henderson knew hed be shooting but against an Olympic Greco wrestler was doomed. This was a historic fight in pride and one of the most respectful fights I've ever seen in mma. Shows how ignorant you are to mma just by how stupid of a comment you made.

[@bolsbolbol368]

@@mubarkqardas46 I have no idea what you are crying about lol Hendo would have beaten Renzo at least 8 out of 10 times. Are you mad because I said Hendo was bigger? He was by a lot. Are you that I said Renzo could box but has always struggled with his condition because both are true. Are you saying Renzo was using steroids? LoL. He's barely ever even had his ab muscles showing ever in his entire career. No veins and muscle definition since his first fight less than 150 pounds. He almost had a Dad body most of his career. Are we going to talk about TRT hendo or just make up fantasy Gracie hate?

why is Renzo's brother choking him out after he just got knocked out LOL.

Yes, that oleg taktarov was from sambô, that giant paul varelans who faced marco rua was from wrestling

[@marctoleds6259]

What about Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn?

[@cantncant-rn1lc]

Renzo in his prime wasn't very good, and he just got worse. He grew up in a fighting family, he should be better. No talent, big mouth.
