You wouldn't know it from watching his fights but Dan Henderson
is an Olympic level wrestler. He also happens to possess one of the
best right hands outside of Chuck Liddell.
Experiencing a career renaissance at age 42, Henderson was supposed to challenge Jon Jones for the UFC Light Heavyweight title at UFC 151. A knee injury put a halt to that and now Henderson will need to rehab his knee.
During the off time, Henderson and his team will need to work on utilizing more than just his vaunted "H-Bomb." There's no question that he can end a fight at a moment's notice with the right hand but if Henderson were to use his wrestling more, Henderson could avoid taking some unnecessary damage.
It's great that Hendo can shut the lights off with a single punch but by utilizing his other weapons he can avoid becoming so predictable.
