"They had kind of approached me about fighting in that heavyweight tournament just to see how I’d feel about it. I told them I was open to it. It was interesting. Definitely a huge challenge, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m still in the sport, just to challenge myself. I think there’s a couple of matchups that would have been interesting for me or fun to do. I don’t think I would have won the tournament by any means, but possibly. Of course I said that when I went into that Rings ‘King of Kings’ tournament. I didn’t think I was going to win it, but I was going to do my best. There’s also something to seeing what some of these fighters are made of on the inside and making them push through two or three fights in a night."
Dan Henderson vs.
Alistair Overeem? UFC, PRIDE and now
Strikeforce superstar Dan Henderson talks to
Sherdog's Savage Dog Show about his participation in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament, which kicks off this Saturday night with "Fedor vs. Silva" on Feb. 12 in New Jersey. "Hendo" toyed with the idea but instead opted to fight "Feijao" Cavalcante for the promotion's light heavyweight title on March 5 in Columbus. If "Dangerous" Dan did find his way into the tournament, who would you have replaced? Rogers? Barnett? Arlovski?
