A biography for Dan Hendersonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm in the game to challenge myself and to beat the top guys. Whether it's 185 or 205, that's what I want to do.”
“Even before my first fights in the UFC, I hadn't sparred before. We just hit pads and bags, and started.”
“I feel like it's a little more fun to fight at 205 since I don't have to cut weight.”
“I know, in my mind, who I am and how I've been throughout the years.”
“I don't know my record. I've been around a while.”
“I've said it many times that wrestling is the best base to have in MMA. It's been instrumental in my MMA career and it doesn't hurt to be able to use that and still have the ability to knock guys down as well.”
“It's probably just a mental thing but I've never felt I'm the smaller guy out there. I'm out there trying to beat him up just the same and I've never felt weak, that I couldn't do what I wanted to do to my opponent, no matter how big they were.”
“I'll never go into a fight or accept a fight if I didn't think I could beat the other guy up.”
“Obviously, if you get injured in a fight, it takes a little longer to come back from that. Honestly, though, after most of my fights, I felt like I could've fought again the same night.”
“Everybody has holes in their game.”
“I'm who I am based on what I've done and what I don't do.”
“Rampage's biggest danger is his striking ability.”
“Anderson is obviously very talented and very well rounded in MMA. I'm not sure what to say about him. I feel like either him or his management team have been able to manipulate who he fights since he's been in the UFC. Somehow he always avoids the tougher match-ups for himself and manages to get the easier match-ups for himself.”
“I'm capable of beating anybody in the world at any weight class. It's just a matter of coming up with the right strategy, implementing that game plan, and feeling good that day.”
“My focus is to win every round, not to land the 'H-bomb.'”
“I think myself and the fans would like to see me have that title fight, especially against Jon Jones, the fight everyone was kind of hoping to see.”
“Shogun's been such a big part of mixed martial arts and such a talented and tough fighter.”
“I started wrestling when I was five years old, and never stopped.”
“The fighters should get more money than they do. We are the ones out there entertaining the fans and putting ourselves on the line.”
“Fedor and Wanderlei, knocking them out was great.”
