For those who saw the fight, what do you guys think of Henderson’s standup fighting technique? How would you have handled Henderson?
for one, circle AWAY not INTO Henderson’s only weapon, his right hand
my thoughts exactly!!!
i dont know why bisping kept doing that. i thought he was a smart fighter. its obvious that hendersons only technique is jab jab and then throw a huge over committed right bomb (many times he doesnt even look at where hes hitting)
i would circle to his other hand…he cant hit you if you are on his outside left

wait.. this is the WC section your supposed to just rush in guns blazing chain punching. 
(sorry it was moved from the WC section my joke isn’t so funny anymore)

yeah, what was up w/that? I mean, in general, his footwork was just absurd - a lot of random movement w/no rhyme or reason to it, and no awareness per se that Henderson was pretty much just trying to set him up for the right (and when I say setting up, I mean as in sending him e-mails, texts, PM’s, leaving VM’s, renting out billboards, dragging signs behind bi-planes, making announcements over air-raid warning speakers, utilizing the federal emergency broadcast system, etc.)
Obviously none of you are familiar with the ancient shoalin technoque of repetitive face striking the opponents fist in order to activate all those Dim Mak points in the fist that cause sever paralysis and explosive diarehha.

it’s true - I heard Henderson was immobile on the can for like 3 hours straight the next day!

Ah yes, the Delayed Crap Touch, or “the uncoiled dragon spreads its wings” as it is called in WC.
its funny nobody is talking about the elbow drop Dan Gave Bisping after he was clearly out, and laying on the ground. He even admitted to doing it knowing full well he was out. That to me is much worse than any antic Lesnar pulled. Dan put Bisping health in harms way.. (its somewhat related ).
any thoughts? am I overreacting??
the ref was too slow. Almost all fighters will continue the kill until they are pulled off. If Henderson admitted that he knew Bisping was completely done, then sure the the shot was gratuitous and maybe he should be fined, but as soon as Bisping’s head bounced off the canvas, the ref should have been wrapping up Henderson and jumping in between. Just the same, it was a supreme “DAAMN!!” moment.

sure people continue to attack, but most people will stop when someone is knocked out. It was a slit second decision, and he knowingly put someone else’s life at risk. I know its hard once you turn it on.. but still this a sport not a street fight.

The thing about professional MMA is that supposed “professional fighters” still make really amateur mistakes (mainly because there is a really under developed amateur league for them to work those problems out in!)
Bisping went in the wrong direction
David Louseau (sp?) didn’t understand that Rich Franklin was a southpaw
Rich Franklin had no idea what to do in the clinch vs Silva
and a million other examples if I stopped to think

ugh…i hate that that is what many WC “sifus” train their students to do. that is not representative of a WC philosophy…rather a result of people who can’t box teaching others their methods.
the kamikaze style attack…ive seen other fighters do the same thing. no setups, just rushing in. the difference is that they at least throw in some different strikes.

i agree, it was a pretty ******* thing to do. but henderson seems like an *******.
its always the quiet ones…
if you watch the video at the link above you can also see that henderson when coming in left himself completely wide open to be hit as well. i mean his head is down, his arms are down.
kamikaze style…
i think bisping got what he deserved hendo should have pulled his spin eout of his mouth and beat him with it for talking smack
and what the other guys said dont run into is right hand lol
hendos good though he gave andersona good fight
loved brocks speech as well lol
[QUOTE=lkfmdc;947007] if I stopped to think[/QUOTE]
why start now?
Lets be honest Dan hits hard with both hands, its just his right that has the stigma after being more sucessful in KO’in dudes…
Bisbing trained to avoid his right you could see this in the lead up clip and we were told as much in the pre fight interview so obviously the rest of Dans game stifled Bisbing enough for him to have to scramble and work outside his gameplan…he got chased down game over :o
What else could Bisbing do, kick his base out..nope you get taken down town, he only had the option of trading IMO although Dans chin is rock hard so dam what a hard fight for Bisbing.

Na fair call monji, although if i was fighting its the refs job to get in quick and stop it so you cant really blame Dano in that respect, hes a competitor through and through… and hey Bisbing was out for it so the pain came after LOL 
Hows Lesnar call about mounting his wife LOL the guys a douche but dam funny 
DREW

Are you saying Henderson so out-classes Bisping all Bisping could think of to do was to circle into that big right the whole frigging time?! I don’t reckon, mate!
- Bisping could’ve circled the other side!
- He could have tried a combination or two instead of popping in with odd shots.
- Yes, he could have kicked his legs. Yeah, sure he could’ve got taken down, but that’s why he should be working his footwork: to go in and out. Sides, isn’t he grounded in Thai? Not known for slow telegraphed weak kicks that leave you hanging for the takedown…!
He ****ed up. Full stop.

To be fair, Henderson did sound a little surprised in his interview at the end, himself… I don’t think it was something he’d planned. But still, not a good one, and potentially extremely damaging.

im sure he can hit harder than most people iwth either hand–given his training
but his left hand is his lead hand so that makes it the weaker one and on top of that he never did anything with it but jab

not weak, but from what i have seen somewhat telegraphed. they always move the opposing hand up first, before they bring it down to counterbalance as they kick
