Best Quote by Dan Henderson
“When asked when I was still fighting about the Hall of Fame, I always said, 'That would be cool, but that's not why I'm fighting.' It doesn't matter as much to me as just making sure I represent myself well and represent the sport and do the best I can and win the fights.”
