Done Quote by Dan Henderson
“That's why I'm fighting, just to have some personal satisfaction, not necessarily because I want to get in the Hall of Fame. But now that I'm done fighting, yeah I guess it would make sense that I'd be in there. But I wouldn't be crushed or anything if it didn't happen.”
