What has Hendo said?

The most disrespectful thing I have read is him saying he likes to put cocky people in their place.

"He's young and sloppy a little bit, he still has a lot to learn, technically. My focus is to win every round, not to land the ‘H-bomb." I'll make sure I win every round and if I hit him good along the way, hopefully it knocks him out. A lot of people who think [Jones is unbeatable] have never fought before. They see what he's done from the outside. He's done well with his style but I feel like he's never fought anybody like me. [My style] really goes well against someone like him. I'll never go into a fight or accept a fight if I didn't think I could beat the other guy up."

"It'll be like walking into a dark room. He won't know what to expect. A lot of the random stuff that I do, I feel very confident that I'm gonna be the first guy to TKO him. I'm gonna slowly and methodically hit him one hit at a time until he decides that his body's hurting and he wants the fight to be over. Nature will take its course."

So he doesn't wanna throw combos? That's odd. Anything to stay away from the H Bomb I guess. #BelieveInHendo

#RetireHendo.

For as great and talented in the cage as Jon Jones is, in all of his wins and all of his finishes and beatdowns, he has never once stirred the sheer excitement I've got more than a handful of times watching Ol' Decision Dan Himself through the years.

How can you hate on a lengend like Hendo. There is absolutely zero to dislike about him.


Except for maybe this for you brits.



I think that should be my next sig if you're having trouble thinking about one for me.

I don't hate Hendo at all but I am not a big fan of his.

He is still training with snake.

"[My right hand] must be a pretty good trick. It's kept me in the sport this long and people keep wanting to see it. It's kept me around for a long time. But it's more about positioning. TKO me? I'd love for him to try. That means he's coming after me and I won't have to chase him.... One of the biggest assets I have is my experience, my timing, my striking, my takedowns and the ability to mix it up.... I love being the underdog. I like being a little challenged. I need to step up and prove people wrong. It adds to my fire and motivates me.... I feel right at home when I'm wrestling. He's taller and longer and gives problems in the clinch. But it'll give me the opportunity to put him on his back."
