Not to mention he's one of the nicest and humblest fighter in the sport.

I didn’t know Hendo was the first fighter to hold two championship belts simultaneously in MMA history. Hands down one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport. I’d say a top 20 fighter. Evolved from an elite wrestler to an elite striker with several of the greatest KO’s in history. You also have to remember that PRIDE arguably had the better roster of fighters back then. And in my opinion they DID have the best fighters. The fact he held two belts in PRIDE at that time in history speaks volumes for me.

Dan even contemplated going for a third belt against Fedor while the promotion still existed. It never happened unfortunately and we never got to see Fedor vs Hendo when both men were arguably still in their primes.

I agree on Dan. He's one of my favorite fighters all time. Just based on his level of competition across several weight classes he belongs on the p4p list. I've met Dan on many occasions and was always engaging and just carried himself like an ordinary fella. I worked for a company that had Nate Quarry as a spokesman for it. Nate came to town the first time and noticed my Bas Rutten shirt and we started talking. In Memphis during May all types of events happen like a music festival and BBQ fest. BBQ fest is insane. Just loads of grill trailers with the world's best BBQ. The place I worked had a tent every year and Nate asked if I was going and I was so he asked to meet up and eat BBQ and talk mma. He told lots of stories of Hendo and Cotoure and about the early days at Team Quest. Saw videos of behind the scenes at Pride shows. Very interesting for sure. Nate absolutely hates Dana. He had a passion for the sport though. He seemed happy to find at least 1 hard-core fan to talk mma with. I was just going to let him be and not bring it up cuz I thought it prolly happened alot.

you really need to make a series called how talented is a fighter. A lot of times their records don’t reflect just how good or skilled they really are. You could touch on their training and their backgrounds and their coaching.

It's crazy, as a casual mma observer (not really a big "fan" so to speak) you look at these legends like Hendo and you just kind of assume that they kicked everyone's ass and rode off into the sunset...These videos really provide perspective on the battles, struggles and ups/downs they went through to achieve what they did. Big respect for the fighters and for the maker of this video.

Hendo is definitely top 10 pound for pound. It’s like he would match his skill to his opponent, no matter how good or bad they were. He would always get rocked or taken down, and then he would do the same thing to them, and if nobody got finished you would have a split decision. Even the Rampage fight was very close. I’ve never seen a fighter have close fights at every echelon of the sport the way Hendo did.
