Pioneering African-American tennis player Arthur Ashe summed it up perfectly when he said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Several athletes across various disciplines have adopted this creed, while for a legion of others, their career evolution has manifested into this conviction. Former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight contender Dan Henderson is the dynamic embodiment of the latter aphorism. In a sport actively built around tooting one’s horn and self-promotion, only a handful of fighters like Henderson have let their body of work do the talking. The only double champion in the history of Pride FC and a decorated Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures to step foot inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship Octagon.
