Dan Henderson kämpar för att ta sig tillbaka till en chans på titeln i UFC:s lätta tungvikt, och sist såg vi mästaren Jon Jones möta Glover Teixeira i en match han tog hem via ett enhälligt domslut. Här kan ni läsa vad Henderson hade att säga om Jones vs. Teixeira, samt vad Dan skulle göra vid ett titelmöte mot Jon, via ”The MMA Hour”:
I think he obviously finished strong, but I don’t think he came out the first round like the normal Jon Jones. I didn’t think he was fighting very smart in the first round, or the first half of the first round. He was just sitting there kind of fighting Glover’s fight and standing there banging with him.
You know, I thought that was the only way Glover could win is to make Jones stand and bang with him. Jones was doing that a little too much, and then I think he kind of got back to his game plan a little bit getting in tight at the end, and Glover just didn’t look like he had very good of a clinch at all.
I think just getting in there, getting in tight with him and you know — my clinch game is different than anyone else’s, and I wouldn’t get beat up like [Teixeira did] in tight. And obviously if you stand on the outside I’d have to deal with getting in closer, and outwrestle him, outpunch him, get in tight and close that distance faster. There’s a lot of things I’d have to change against someone like Jones, because he is so long.
Nästa gång vi ser Henderson inne i oktagonen blir vid UFC 173 den 24 maj, då han möter Daniel Cormier i Las Vegas.
