Frank Shamrock Thinks Dan Hendo is the Strongest of all Time

[@DickGozinya-zl2bd]

The Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz fight was the greatest fight the UFC had ever seen at that point in it history & still one of my top ten UFC fights ever.

[@jayrobertson1617]

I love this!! I’m not a fighter but I grew up watching these guys and it’s crazy how we’re all getting older 🤣

[@memphis1316]

I pat Dan on the back right after he stepped out of the cage from his fight with Jake Shields. Dude is solid. Franks not lying about muscle density

[@Americoroca]

The first all around mma fighter Frank Shamrock.

[@23jdizo]

I shook Dan Henderson‘s hand. It literally felt like a half of a brick with stacks of nickels, coming off of it for fingers. It was not very big at all. But just hard and tough. Hard to explain.

[@66killen6]

Technique and leverage

[@Lostandtobefound]

Yes, I’ve heard he’s super dense. This makes sense.

[@PandA-yx5ne]

My granddad was a miner. He was 5'8" and had fingers an inch across. True story.

[@archstanton3636]

I met Frank for a few seconds when I ran up to him years ago and asked for a pic. I feel like I might have came at him a bit too aggressive or excited when compared to the other people around him, not only was I a fan, but through my job I had a whole collage of MMA fighters pretending to punch me and I wanted to add him to it. Anyway, to make a long story short, I asked to him kinda put his fist near my face (most other fighters loved it and mean mugged) anyway he pressed his knuckles on my chin pretty damn hard lol. I felt it for like an hour afterward. It's a fond memory and I wanted to share :) Great dude.

[@neilshanahan8217]

Frank Shamrock isn’t in the UFC Hall of Fame. That’s disgraceful.

[@ericfoote1784]

I saw Hendo at Costco in Temecula a few months back and he didn't look the least bit intimidating. Could you imagine the poor sucker who tries to take advantage of that situation? I'm 6'2" 230lbs and wouldn't EVER wanna tangle with that dude.

[@markj228]

I knew that Dan Henderson was strong -as well as a great fighter-, but to hear the statement from Frank Shamrock about Henderson’s strength is impressive! Frank can downplay his strength, but his exercise systems for motion were truly next level! I also thought Frank had very explosive movements in combat.

[@davdooo-k9w]

Very smart man. It's cool to see him give props to Ken too for his strength.

[@Khaos969]

Franks a legend , his skill level was insane

[@af7119]

Frank was my first favorite mma fighter. He could do it all baby.

[@stewybstewy]

No he couldn't. It was just rare for a grappler to have semi decent punching. That's it, wrestling, some mid boxing, and steroids.

[@rudolphrudolph-n1l]

One of my all time favorites is Dan Henderson because of his greco wrestling, insane strength and his knockout power and his ability to endure punishment but he gassed really quickly. If a fight went into the 3rd round or further, there was a very good chance he would loose.

[@joelchavez61]

Dan Henderson was my favorite fighter. I loved Fedor as well and when they fought i was torn. I liked them both so I just figured the better man will win. But when Fedor started smashing Henderson I switched sides and was praying he could find a way. When he caught him and knocked him out I was totally shocked. I felt bad for Fedor Emilanenco, he was such a beast but inside i breathed a sigh of relief. The elite Greco and the tnt right hand were lethal. I lived the way Hendo went for the kill and when he threw the Hi bomb it was as Cus Damato taught Tyson, "Throw with bad intentions". His ko over Bisping is one of the greatest kos ever seen. I liked most of the great fighters. Rampage, Coture, Chuck, Nick Diaz, Belfort, Velasquez, Silva and others but Henderson I think was the best. Maybe if he started mma a few years earlier he would have remained undefeated his entire career.

[@ThatBoyPause]

Chael said it best. The toughest guy you know, has the toughest guy he knows. It just continues. The same stories dudes have about Henderson, Henderson has stories about someone else. It’s insane to think about.

You have to absolutely love that Ken can appreciate a good burn, even if it’s at his own expense.

[@RoyalF04]

I went to go see a podiatrist in Encinitas, CA and Dan Henderson was just sitting in the lobby waiting for his appointment. He knew I knew who he was once I walked and awkwardly stared. I just gave him a head nod and a smile to respect his privacy.

[@RaiderX948]

Daniel Cormier must be a monster because he ragdolled Hendo.

[@LieutenantStandby]

DC is a monster but he was a heavyweight

[@jasongadbois4338]

DC one of the basest humans to ever live

[@Shuck-Shick-Blam]

Go watch the Jones Cormier fight. Cormier was absolutely digging into Jones grill before he lost. Round after round. I couldn't believe when he got ko'd but standing in the pocket like that, the risk is always there.

[@ryanlynch290]

Frank is so cool and chilled out these days. I hope he and Dana get squared up, I'd like to see him involved in more UFC events.

This makes dc chucking dan all over the octagon look even wilder. I know I know Dan was old as shit still tho

Frank Shamrock, pioneer.

[@libertarianrevolution7026]

I saw Dan Henderson in person at a King of the Cage show in California back in the early 2000's. I stood right next to him. He did not look that big or strong in person, but he could be deceptively strong.

[@TimboBoze]

Plenty of fighters and other people In the mma world have mentioned it so there must be truth to it

[@donlowery1275]

He accidentally knocked a guy out cold with only his bicep. True story. Wrestling match and when buddy shot in , Hendo accidentally hit him with his bicep and he was sleeping. He's super dense. His masseuse said she cannot get all the way through his muscle to hit the deeper areas. He's built like a brick out house. And why he was also able to lay out any man regardless of size with one shot. He has big hands though and that's definitely part of punching power. But Frank Trigg has told the story of the bicep ko . Man's so humble, but an absolute gorilla. Randy Couture said he's got gorilla grip . It's strange how it works, but a lot of the best don't look like it. Especially strikers as I watch super lean people hit way harder than body builders and steroid abusers . But it's the connetic chain they are using to build speed and power. That energy is very different

[@ericfoote1784]

I used to go to King of the Cage in the late 90's at Soboba Casino. My wife worked for Terry who owned King of the Cage and Cardio Fit in Rancho Cucamonga.

[@slobcitycharters3675]

Daniel Cormier threw him around like a baby so imagine how strong those Olympics wrestlers are

[@travisbooth3002]

He did yes. Dan Henderson is also a 2 time Olympic wrestler though, but in Greco-Roman. Cormier just had much better freestyle wrestling than Hendo and was also 9 years younger. A good freestyle wrestler will usually beat a good Greco-Roman wrestler in MMA.

[@Steak514]

[@eastwood111]

I’m smaller than Dan Henderson, and absolutely stronger. Back when I did train, I was around 185 pounds and I would ragdoll some heavyweights. It was a jiu-jitsu gym, but MMA. We had this guy and his nic-name was 300 because he weigh 300 pounds and I would rag doll him. Would gain top position and he could never reverse me, and I would just smother him. He would always accuse me of taking steroids because he couldn’t understand how someone half his size was stringer, It’s just genetics. I have cousins that are the same and I think it’s tendon strength not just muscle strength. Example, my cousin has never been trained and he hit the punching power Machine , and it was in the high 900s which is harder than most heavyweight trained boxers. I could hit in the high 800s close to 900 at 185 pounds which seems more than most of the heavy weights. As they say, you’re either born a puncher or you’re not. My main point is some people genetically speaking, are just way stronger based on tendon position of how it’s attached to the bones, it creates leverage.

​@@JuggoJuggofirst time I ever seen Tito fight, his victory speech was all about the fact he was much better at cutting weight so he's bigger and stronger than the guys he's fighting.... But said in that brilliant tito way

Ken was over the hill.

[@DavidBolewski-ds8kh]

Dan Henderson is a little over-rated. His stand up game is weak, he can't box or kick box very well and his knowledge of submissions is limited. He's one of the best wrestlers to ever compete in MMA and he's devastating in the mount position but it's not enough for him to be in the elite catagory of fighters
