Hendo: I’m a one trick pony? It’s a pretty good trick

In a recent UFC 151 promo video, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones expressed characteristic confidence about his UFC 151 fight vs. Dan Henderson.

It’s no secret that Dan Henderson is a little bit of a one-trick pony, Jones said of Henderson’s fabled right hand. My objective is to not get hit at all. It will be interesting to see how I handle one of those famous H-Bombs. I feel very confident I can be the first guy to TKO him.

Henderson appeared on this week’s episode of FUEL TV’s UFC Tonight, and seemed pretty interested too in how Jones would handle the H-Bomb.

It must be a pretty good trick, said Henderson. 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… TKO me? I’d love for him to try. That means he’s coming after me and I won’t have to chase him.

Jones comes into the fight as a 5 to 1 favorite, with an extraordinary amount of media hype. Hendo was asked if he had ever seen anything like it.

I don’t know, probably not this much,” said Henderson. “The sport has progressed so much and there’s so much more media than there used to be, so he’s benefiting from it. When Vitor came on, people hyped him up and said he had no weaknesses, but then Randy beat him.
