#9 Dan Henderson
Dan Henderson fought the who’s who of MMA throughout his long and illustrious career that ended with him putting a hellacious beat-down on familiar foe Michael Bisping in their rematch.
Although he didn’t win the UFC Middleweight Championship on the judges’ scorecards, he proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he can do more than just hang with the best well into his mid-40s.
Hendo’s deadly fists, his right hand in particular, and Olympic calibre wrestling saw him become the only man to simultaneously hold two belts in a major MMA promotion (Pride FC) well before Conor McGregor did the unthinkable in the UFC.
