Dan Henderson knows he has to be cautious against Fedor, seemingly regrets speaking out on TRT issue

Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Dan Henderson has been giving further thought on his fight this weekend with Fedor Emelianenko in Chicago, Illinois, as well as seeming to regret ever speaking out on the issue of testosterone replacement therapy in the sport of MMA.
Speaking via Sherdog.com, Henderson said:

“You can’t think you’ve got him hurt and rush in and pull a Pat Barry. … Fedor’s done that a couple of times to opponents, where he’s kind of hurt or getting beat up a little bit and then knocks them out. He’s always dangerous, no matter if he’s in shape or not. It’s something whether it’s early or late in the fight, you always got to be careful against him. That’s definitely something I’ve thought about. I have to make sure I’m patient even with the finish.”

Henderson then spoke about the use of testosterone replacement therapy in the sport of mixed martial arts, pleading his case that he’s doing nothing wrong.

“I don’t know what other fighters are doing. I know that with anything, there’s people that will abuse it. I’ve never had any issues with any athletic commissions. That’s about all I can comment on. I know that they could regulate it a lot more, but I don’t know who or how many people are doing what they’re doing. All I know is, I’m not doing anything wrong and I’ve been doing this for a long time. … I don’t know how my name got dragged into it.”

Henderson recently won the promotions light heavyweight title, defeating Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante via TKO as the fight wore on. As for Fedor, he’s looking to rebound from the first back-to-back defeats of his MMA career, losing out to Fabricio Werdum and Antonio “Big Foot” Silva.
