This guy was a great fighter in pride, he has a thick skin.
LOL, Dan Henderson?
SERIOUSLY, I've watched all of John Jones' fights and with each fight he gets better, without a doubt he will win for DAN.
AHH, for those who say that John Jones' punches are amateur, go learn to fight MMA to see if you can fight for the belt against him and say that the jerks are amateurs lol
I'm Brazilian, but John Jones is good on top and on the ground, he uses his legs well and doesn't like to exchange punches, in every fight he manages to play his style.

I think Henderson is going to knock Jones out
Dan is a veteran, and his age does not influence, considering his preparation in the fight against shogun.
and you still have experience on your side, there's no point in remembering that these types of fighters who fight for the title are professionals and these fights are defined in up to a fraction of a second, one wrong move, and it's over.
Considering the level of quality and preparation of the participants, it is frivolous to label one as ‘best’, the correct one is ‘favourite’
