<p>Following 40-some-year-old Dan Henderson&#8217;s win over Fedor Emelianenko at last Saturday&#8217;s Strikeforce show, our reporter Nalty Junior remembered a chat he had with the two-time Olympic wrestler not long ago behind the scenes at an MMA event. The conversation meandered through subjects like Henderson&#8217;s career, the days of Pride FC, and there was plenty of Jiu-Jitsu talk, of course – a style “Hollywood” has been practicing for a decade. “Loyal to Jiu-Jitsu, tuned in to GRACIEMAG for years&#8230; Fedor really didn&#8217;t have a chance,” thought Nalty.</p>
<p>As a tribute to the stellar performance displayed by Henderson, who turns 41 this coming 24th, we&#8217;ve decided to repost Dan&#8217;s answers to five questions posed in past issues of CHOKE and GRACIEMAG.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s it feel like to have lived through the entire history of MMA?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s fun to witness the evolution and progress of the sport while actively participating in it. I never stopped to think about my future in MMA. I never thought I&#8217;d be competing for so long. At first all I wanted was make money and pursue my dream of wrestling at the Olympics.</p>
<p><strong>What do you most regret in your career? What are you proudest of?</strong></p>
<p>There were some fights I showed up injured for and should have asked that they be postponed, but it&#8217;s not in my nature to do that. Besides that, you have to derive good things from bad experiences, learn from your mistakes. The moment I&#8217;m proudest of is holding two Pride belts at the same time.</p>

<p><strong>What is your view on this combination of wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p>Wrestling is a great foundation from which to control the fight, but you need Jiu-Jitsu or striking to finish your opponent. I love doing grappling but I never put on the gi. I&#8217;d be lost in the gi.</p>
<p><strong>Your former wrestling coach Bob Anderson was a friend of Rolls Gracie (1951-1982), wasn&#8217;t he? What did he used to say?</strong></p>
<p>Bob coached me for around 20 years, ever since I was in third grade, when I was eight or nine years old, until I stopped competing in Greco-Roman wrestling. He&#8217;d tell us about his trips to Brazil. But we were focused on wrestling, you know, which is a totally different sport, and we had no idea the two styles would one day complement each other in MMA. When I got involved in MMA, that brought back my memories of Bob having gone to Brazil, but he went through all that a really long time ago, so he wasn&#8217;t up to date anymore. <em>[Bob Anderson made friends with Rolls in the late 1970s, and Henderson had his first MMA fight, against Crézio de Souza, nearly 20 years later, in 1997]</em>.</p>
<p><strong>When was your first contact with submissions?</strong></p>
<p>It was when I was still training with Bob, because he&#8217;d make us compete in sambo too, as well as freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. Every now and again I visit Bob and we work out – after all, he&#8217;s still a great friend. And he loves MMA. One of these days I&#8217;m going to take him to a fight; he&#8217;s really busy, though, since he&#8217;s been a really great wrestling coach for so many years.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/fedor-really-didnt-have-a-chance/">“Fedor really didn’t have a chance”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Após a vitória do quarentão Dan Henderson sobre Fedor Emelianenko, no Strikeforce do último sábado, nosso repórter Nalty Junior relembrou um papo que teve recentemente com o wrestler americano, nos bastidores de um show de MMA. A conversa girou sobre assuntos como a carreira, aposentadoria, os tempos do Pride e muito Jiu-Jitsu, claro, estilo que o &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; treina há uma década. &#8220;Fiel ao Jiu-Jitsu, atento a GRACIEMAG há anos&#8230; Realmente o Fedor não tinha mesmo chance&#8221;, pensou Nalty.</p>
<p>Em homenagem à exibição sólida de Henderson, que completa 41 anos no próximo dia 24, republicamos abaixo cinco respostas do americano estampadas em edições antigas de NOCAUTE e GRACIEMAG.</p>
<p><strong>Qual a sensação de ter vivido praticamente toda a história de evolução do MMA?</strong></p>
<p>É divertido ver a evolução e o progresso desse esporte ainda estando ativo e participando da coisa toda. Nunca realmente parei para pensar qual seria meu futuro no MMA. Não achei que estaria competindo por tanto tempo. Tudo o que eu queria no início era ganhar dinheiro para correr atrás do meu sonho olímpico no wrestling.</p>
<p><strong>Do que você se arrepende na carreira, e o que te orgulha mais?</strong></p>
<p>Houve algumas lutas em que me apresentei contundido e que eu deveria ter pedido para adiarem, mas não é da minha natureza fazer isso. Além disso, você tem de tirar as coisas boas de experiências ruins, aprender com seus erros. O momento de maior orgulho foi quando eu detive dois cinturões do Pride simultaneamente.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Como você vê essa combinação de wrestling e Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p>O wrestling é uma ótima base para que se tenha controle da luta, mas você precisa do Jiu-Jitsu ou da trocação para finalizar seu oponente. Adoro trabalhar o grappling, mas nunca ponho o kimono. Com o pano eu estaria perdido.</p>
<p><strong>Seu ex-treinador de wrestling Bob Anderson foi amigo do brasileiro Rolls Gracie (1951-1982), certo? O que ele contava?</strong></p>
<p>Bob me treinou por cerca de 20 anos, desde a terceira série do primário, quando eu tinha 8 ou 9 anos, até quando eu terminei de competir na luta greco-romana. Ele nos contava sobre as suas viagens para o Brasil. Mas você sabe, estávamos concentrados no wrestling, que é um esporte totalmente diferente, e não tínhamos idéia de que as modalidades um dia iriam se complementar no vale-tudo. Quando me envolvi com o vale-tudo, isto trouxe à tona novamente as recordações de Bob no Brasil, mas tudo tinha acontecido há muito tempo para ele. Então ele não estava mais atualizado. <em>[Bob Anderson ficou amigo de Rolls no final dos anos 1970, e Henderson fez seu primeiro vale-tudo, contra Crézio de Souza, quase 20 anos depois, em 1997]</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Quando você teve o primeiro contato com finalizações?</strong></p>
<p>Ainda quando treinava com Bob, porque ele nos colocava para disputar também sambo, além de luta livre olímpica e greco-romana. De vez em quando, visito Bob e dou uma malhada com ele, afinal continua sendo um grande amigo. E ele adora vale-tudo, qualquer dia vou levá-lo para uma luta, apesar de ele ser muito ocupado, pois é um técnico muito bom de wrestling há muitos anos.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/fedor-nao-tinha-mesmo-chance/">“Fedor não tinha mesmo chance”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
