Dan Henderson is a legend, period. Known for his vicious knockout power, Henderson made his debut back in 1997. His first major moment in the UFC came at UFC 17 when he won the Middleweight tournament by outclassing Allan Goes and Carlos Newton.
Hendo then became a mainstay in UFC and Pride over the next two decades and went to war with names like Wanderlei Silva, Renzo Gracie, Antonio Nogueira, Vitor Belfort, Fedor Emelianenko, Michael Bisping, and Anderson Silva among others.

When he retired in 2016, he had a professional record of 32-15 to his name. However, his career was beyond these numbers. He was known for entertaining the fans and the multiple fight night bonuses that he earned prove this.
For the contributions that he made to the sport, it’s only fair to honour him with a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame.
