Dan Henderson's Crazy Punching Power and Fighting After Knee Surgery

[@macabre19]

One of the baddest ever.

[@jaybee-je9dl]

Seriously this guy especially later in his career when people start picking their opponents a little bit was a straight savage. Kill or be killed. The silva knockout in pride, the wars with shogun, knocking out Fedor as basically a light heavyweight. What a f****g killer

[@mattysquizzato7094]

That Fedor ko was huge. I'm pretty sure Fedor outweighed him by 29lbs.

Hendo is one of my favorite fighters of all time. His power is the stuff of legends, as was his chin until the very end of his career. The man won a fight where his jaw was broken in the first round. Hendo is as tough as an old boot.

[@Cum007]

Even his chin is noticeable now during this video

[@Cipher0ptic24]

Josh Thompson was just talking about how hendo visited AKA and he was tearing up koscheck, fitch and those guys. Either bob or Javier was telling him to take it easier on the guys, and hendo’s response was “I’m not hitting that hard”. 😂

[@funkychicken2119]

Henderson was definitely a bad ass, but I grew up watching Chuck Liddell and his hands were crazy. He didn’t look like a fighter, he looks like one of those bar room guys you throw into a ring for $50 and try his best to take on the pro. Put an orange vest on Chuck and he would be the guy doing drywall. He didn’t look the part. But his hands ..the slightest tap and guys go night night.

[@darrenfredrickson2877]

Glad you had this guy on. I’ve become a big fan of Dans. Hes a naturally humble guy with tremendous talent. Its always nice to see a badass be a genuinely good person. They make good hero’s.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

Dan was missing most of his teeth from bar fights. He was a true blue fighter, not just an amazing athlete. Guy liked to fight. Most of these guys dont like to fight, they just know they can make a lot of money doing it. Dan likes to fight.

Dan has always been my favorite fighter. He became a legend in Pride.

[@d0ublestr0ker0ll]

Shoutout to Mauro Ranallo for coining Dan's overhand right "The H-Bomb" during the Babalu fight in Strikeforce. Dan ended up finishing Babalu with a couple of flush H-Bombs from standing top position. The sounds of the punches are still traveling around the planet today.

[@dtcy1229]

[@DannySullivanMusic]

could not agree more. absolutely right dude

[@BeeStrings]

I remember the close up of Babalus face when he was on the ground after getting KOd. He was somewhere deep in Bolivian.

[@killerkendro]

Punched his head through the canvas 👏🏻 I remember that one too

[@s8ntdeer]

True legendary power. I never missed a fight card he was on.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

He used to be nicknamed Decision Dan in Pride before he discovered his KO power later in his career

[@davidprokell7664]

Truth

[@iss8258]

I heard that the gear was the reason no more decision dan

[@AztecUnshaven]

Hendo was also "Hollywood Henderson" in Japan.

[@jamiemodlin9411]

Decision Dan was before the pride days when he fought for rings. The name would come up from time to time in pride based on a couple of questionable split decisions. But he was knocking dudes out in pride. His KO of Renzo was his second pride fight which was brutal. But he also ko'ed Shoji, bustamante, chonan, gono, just to name a few.

[@axleclarke3984]

Then he had trt 😂😂

I just saw that fight hendo did really good , he rocked quinton multiple times and quinton couldn't hurt him and even rag dolled him in the wrestling it was more rampages activity that got him the win but hendo did very good

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

@Josetalksish I've been to a lot of UFC events but that one will always stand out to me. It's just a special moment.

[@YamatoTre]

One of the greatest honors in combat sports is to have a technique you use be given a name. Having an overhand right known as "The H-Bomb" is something different than a title, than a great resume. It's legendary

[@porkwop9171]

Yaa that H bomb was different. That punch he landed on bisbing...my god. Might be the hardest punch landed on a human ever

[@librarycard3748]

Dude started his career with 4 tournaments, fighting twice in one night for the first three and three times in one night the last one. He beat Gilbert Yvel, Big Nog and Babalu in Japan in the fourth tourney all in one night. Tourneys were insane, nothing like them in modern mma, oldschool UFC and Pride tourneys were peak mma.

[@RatedRRaj]

Its a shame the guy aint in the UFC hall of fame, abysmal if you ask me.

[@dannyt4663]

It was a different animal lol. I always felt like the fights were generally faster without the cage, too - you didn’t have significant parts of the round taken up by guys pressing each other into the cage.

[@seheadhunter50]

I was always gifted with punching speed and okay power when throwing combos but never one punch power, even though I was strong and always lifted and I had trained for Boxing for most of my life but the past few years I've gained one punch power that no one in the gym comes close to so don't think that you can't gain a lot of punching power because you might be able to. Keep training hard. What helps me the most is well rounded lifting with dumbbells, heavy and heavy enough high rep back workouts are the gym lifts that help the most with punching power, especially rows. The heavy bag is what helps me more than anything. The best boxing tool ever created. Nothing else comes close to creating as much punching power or muscular endurance for punching so hit the back at least once or twice a week.

[@lucasgrey9794]

Lifting doesn't increase punching power. Punching increases punching power. Specificity is the only effective way to train.

[@polymathing]

Ahah I was born with nuclear power in my right but terrible speed in my left from young shoulder injuries. Chopping wood helps big time. It's not just the speed or heaviness of the punch but maximizing the point of impact with your own kinetic motion. Activities like swinging an axe or throwing a baseball aid in realizing the snap needed to induce sleep.

[@Cloud21283]

I never was a boxer but I trained a few times with my buddy that was. After like two days he told me my right hook to the body was very strong. I have no idea why, never trained that punch in my life. Being gifted with stuff like that is very weird.
