If Henderson can avenge his December 2000 loss to Silva he will be the owner of Pride’s Welterweight and Middleweight Championship belts. Plus long time friend and trainer Ryan Barson believes Dan can handle any situation he is put into.

“If you look at Dan, Dan made to Olympic team at 21 years old, which is pretty much unheard of. You know you see wrestlers who are peaking in their late twenties sometimes early thirties. And Dan is one of those guys who, when the pressure comes down he steps up and gets the job done. That is what he did in 1992; he did it again in ‘96. Then his fighting career came about and you can look at his record that speaks for itself.”

Dan may be a personable fellow but when he gets in a ring he is not all that personable. I thought that I would step into the ring and show Henderson a thing or two on how reporters can throw down. Well of course I didn’t show Dan and he showed me how to fly and how to cry – (cry). Oh my goodness, that hurts- not to self: Don’t do that Mr. Silva its going to be tough.
“Hopefully a quick knockout, you know.

That’s – that’s the ideal thing but either way I’m just gonna be mentally strong and beat him up the whole fight. Win each round”
“Expect Dan to go out there and knock Wander lei‘s out.. This is what we trained for. We are in this to win this and Wander lei is a tough opponent, Dan has a lot of courage, stepping up the weight class he is going to be giving up 20 pounds of Wander lei.

But Dan hits as hard as any body on the planet. If Dan hits Wander lei square on the head, Wander lei is going to be knocked out.

To update you, Dan Henderson is a two time US Olympian in Greco Roman wrestling. But that’s not why he is training.

This 36 year old pride fighter and welter weight champion is preparing for the February 24th rematch with Wander lei Silva for the middle weight championship in Pride 33.
“You know the biggest thing over the years in being experienced in in wrestling and fighting is you know that I’ve learned to really listen to my body and when I – when I need a break, I need a break. Kind I let my body recover.”

Henderson has 26 career professional fights winning 21 of those. So he knows what to do and what not to do with his body, so that is why he is attempting to accomplish something that no fighter in any organization has ever done before.

“I hold 2 – 2 belts at the same time, you know there are people there who won 1 belt, lost it, changed weight classes and won another belt. But you know to hold 2 belts at one time and especially beating somebody like Wander lei Silva to do this is probably going to be one of the biggest things ever done in this sport.”
