Hendo chasing the GOAT?

Dan Henderson has been in a lot of heavy-duty fights. The former Olympian wrestler is set to fight Bones Jones, Sep 1st, and if he wins, by many's estimation, he would be a contender for Greatest-of-all-time status.

Considering he KO'd Fedor (the first to do so in pro competition IIRC), and has fought so many top guys (not to mention just won what is arguably the best fight in UFC history), over so many years, he's already in the mix. He's held a lot of belts already, and kicked a lot of ass.

Possibly most gratifying to American fans, he clocked the **** out of Mr. Bisping, and temporarily shut the talented but mouthy Brit up, with a picture perfect H-bomb, that would make any fighter cringe IMO.

If he gets this LHW UFC belt, surely he should be at or near the very top of the GOAT discussion.

Can he be the GOAT, without defeating Anderson Silva? That is my question. If he takes down Jones, should he be put above the Brazilian phenom?

Discuss.

Do you actually believe that he has a chance against Jones?

But, yeah, if he does win, I don't think it would still be enough to be GOAT.

I think an Anderson Silva match is needed.

I know Anderson is crazy good, but I don't know why maybe its the wrestling but I think Henderson if anyone might be able to beat him on a good night. I wouldn't put money on it but I would pay to see the fight.

What kind of crack are you on?? The only thing Dan is going to gain from a fight with jones is a sore ass, I doubt he lasts past round two. And to say he would be the GOAT?? just wow dude.
