After beating Renato Babalu and Rafael Feijão both by knockout, Forty-year-old Dan Henderson added another belt to his collection: the Strikeforce light heavyweight one. An interview with the champion tipped to face Fedor Emelianenko in his next outing features on the pages of GRACIEMAG 169, now in bookstores.
Jiu-Jitsu to me is key, combined with wrestling. Wrestling is a great foundation with which to control a fight, but you need Jiu-Jitsu or striking to finish the opponent. I love grappling, but the truth is I never put on a gi. I’d be lost in the gi! remarks Henderson.
To help Hendo with his ground game, black belt Ricardo Pantcho Feliciano spares no effort. Henderson would give a lot of guys a hard time if he were to compete in at No-Gi tournaments. He really likes grappling – training on the bottom too. He’d tap out a lot of black belts, asserts Pantcho.
