Daniel Cormier vs Dan Henderson Highlights (Total Domination)

#danielcormier #mma #ufc #danhenderson #combatsports #martialarts #fights #wrestling #kickboxing #punch
Daniel Cormier dominated Dan Henderson at UFC 173 to earn a shot at the championship.
The fight was never close. Cormier dominated with his elite-level wrestling from the outset, beating him up on the ground and finishing with a rear-naked choke in the third frame. It was a complete performance that put Cormier on the map as Jon Jones' next greatest test.
Henderson had no answer for anything Cormier brought into the cage. He was that dominant.
It was a big-time performance from Cormier.
He launched Henderson into the air on a couple of occasions, completely controlled him on the canvas and even dominated him with ground-and-pound when the opportunities presented themselves. Cormier is on another level.
Henderson is all man, and Cormier treated him like a child.

Ppl saw Khabib and forget about what DC can do on the mat. Master Class

[@gbonz80]

@Oodles of Noodles Jon's the GOAT so that's an auto-L for anyone who's name shows opposite to him.

[@NovaSixx]

@@gbonz80 Not really. Even fighting at this level is a auto-W. More than most of us will ever do.

[@gbonz80]

@@NovaSixx I've fought my whole on all lvl. I just didn't get paid for it. If I only knew right? Lol "I could of been a contender."

[@Aquamatiic]

I honestly think DC at light heavyweight was a better wrestler than khabib

[@JahGuarrr]

Besides Khabib (who is amazing) this probably happens anyway. DC is the most dominant wrestler ever in mma imo, possibly Jon Jones actually too. There’s also Cain Valasquez, Matt Hughes, idk honestly there’s a lot that are great, but skill wise? I’d say DC, Khabib and honestly Jon Jones, Bones is such a beast at grappling, his striking is good though that I don’t think his grappling is acknowledged as much.

I remember him not being on TRT in that fight. I reckon he was suspended from doing so since just 3 months prior to that. His testosterone would be next to zero in that fight, considering that he was out of TRT for 3 months and 44 years old.

True but tbf Hendo was a fucking grandpa at this point in the ufc

Very easy to see him commentating nowadays and forget how awesome he was as a fighter, some of these young fighters should show more respect when talking to him, DC is in the top 2 greatest of all time for me, no doubt!!!

I hated watching this fight. DC was able to make 205 by cutting 40 lbs. Hendo barely weighed 200 lbs soaking wet.

Plus Dan is in his mid-40s. Typical DC bs. Cormier has zero character.

[@dunnono00]

@@kevinsullivan2362 What is the BS here? No one forced Hendo to fight at LHW as a 40+ year old. DC could make the cut because he isn't a huge dude himself.

The GOAT

[@DaBeezKneez]

At the weight in Hendo was 199, and DC was 205 You can tell Henderson was trying hard ro gain muscle mass while DC probably cu about 20 lbs of water weight. Im sure at fight night hendo was still 199 while DC probably went up to 225. Hendo looks too small compared to DC.

[@davidr4523]

This fight should have been stopped in the first round. Henderson took over hundred punches and kicks.

Hendo in pride and strikeforce were beating up guys like a school bully. I remember this dude starching Bisping, but here he gets ragdolled by DC. Sad to watch. They were both great fighters.

Before you start the Dc vs John Jones discussion, please consider the age difference (28 vs 36 1st match) and PED´s issues. USADA start testing athletes on October 2015 and they face each for the first time on January 2015. John Jones is a beast but because of his behavior there always will be a shadow of doubts about him.
