I don't care what anyone says, Hendo is a GOAT. Won a UFC tournament, two Pride belts simultaneously, and a Strikeforce belt. Fought for a UFC championship three times (should have been four) and one of them was in his last fight at 46 years old. He almost beat Bisping the second time too, it was a razor thin decision. He might not be a UFC GOAT, but he's an MMA GOAT.

He's got an argument for top 10 all time for sure.

He fought 14 UFC and PRIDE champions during his career, which I think is more than anyone.  He's not the greatest, but he's one of the greats.

If Rushmore is for founding fathers than Dan Hendo should be the MMA version of the Statue Of Liberty.

For sure. Original Champ-Champ. The fact that he almost KO'd Bisping twice in their rematch and arguable won is just legendary.
