Former PRIDE champion and current UFC middleweight “Dangerous” Dan Henderson says that he wants to make his next fight with former Middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin a statement to the division by beating the s@#t out of him. Henderson says that he thinks he is much better at just about everything than the former champion and plans on dominating him with his striking and his ground game.
“I want to dominate him striking, in the clinch, taking him down, ground and pound. I want to dominate him everywhere, that is my goal,” says Henderson.
Dangerous Dan also says that he knows that Rich is a good striker and is hard to finish. This is what motivates him to finish Franklin even more come UFC 93 next week.
Dan Henderson and Rich Franklin headline a UFC card that features exciting fighters such as Shogun Rua and Mark Coleman come next week. The fight also decides who goes on to become one of the coaches in the next season of the Ultimate Fighter: US vs Britain with the other coach being “The Count” Michael Bisping, who has looked really great after his transition to the 185 pound division.
