After getting knocked out by Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 77, fans and media are asking if Dan Henderson should retire.
On Wednesday’s episode of UFC Tonight, Kenny Florian and Daniel Cormier gave their takes on if Henderson should hang up his gloves for good. Florian would like to see Henderson transition out of active competition, and maybe accept some sort of position in the UFC.
“I don’t think there’s any shame in losing to a guy like Vitor Belfort, but Dan Henderson has to start thinking about retiring at this point because he’s taken a lot of damage, especially if you look at the last several fights he’s had in the UFC,” Florian said. “He’s been fighting some tough guys, and yes he’s had some wins and won by knockout, but I would like to see him transition. Maybe get a job with the UFC or something.”
Cormier followed up with this:
“In Dan’s mind he was going to actually take his time before he attacked Vitor, but then Vitor actually threw the head kick,” Cormier said. “It wasn’t set off any punches or anything. The chin, the reflexes – it might be time for him to hang it up.”
Henderson is currently 45 years old wih a 32-13 record. He’s 3-3 in his last six fights. Is it time for the MMA veteran to retire? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
