‘Win or lose against Jon Jones, Dan Henderson is a UFC Hall of Famer’

Should Henderson loose against jones White says "it will have no bearing on his Hall of Fame status".

White went on to say:

"I thought Couture was wrapping it up at 37. Dan Henderson is a three time world champion. He's a great wrestler, has knockout power in both hands and has fought everyone from 170 pounds all the way to heavyweight. He continues to impress no matter how old he gets. Jon Jones has been on a tear. If he wrecks Dan Henderson, that would be even more impressive. No one has ever knocked out Dan Henderson. He's got a rock solid, iron chin. If he did that it would be quite a feat. Whether Dan Henderson wins or loses, he's a UFC Hall of Famer."

Dana also went on to say the amount of disrespect Henderson has been receiving leading up to his title fight against Jones is ridiculous:

"He's fought the who's-who. He's been around forever and fought everybody at every weight class. If you look at his skill set, I don't know how you can discount this guy. Him and Rampage went toe-to-toe for five rounds blasting each other. The amount of disrespect has been ridiculous. Dan Henderson is probably one of the most overlooked and underrated fighters in the world today."

Fighting for over 15 years, the 41-year old Henderson could possibly be at the tail-end of his career, though he has made no suggestions of such thing.
