Dan Henderson returns to training next month at Asia's Evolve MMA
Posted on September 24, 2012, 01:49 PM by Mike DrahotaAmidst all of the endless injury talk that has dominated MMA for months now, it finally appears that one fighter is able to return to training on schedule. That fighter is Dan Henderson, whose injury partly lead to the cancellation of UFC 151, sparking a fallout of epic proportions. The resulting bout of Jon Jones versus Vitor Belfrot was rescheduled an Jones won but injured his arm in the process. Henderson, however, is rumored to be fighting Lyoto Machida for a perceived 205 lb. title shot even though the length of Jones's stay on the shelf is unknown to this point. Next month, Henderson will be making the long trek to Singapore to enlist in the training camp at Evolve MMA, highly touted for its knowledge in both Muay Thai and BJJ.
Evolve MMA has made quite the name for itself in terms of training for the sport within Asia, where it is known to be the top gym in the land. There, Henderson will run into fellow American Rich Franklin, he himself training for a bout with flashy striker Cung Le in Macau later on this year. He will always have the tutelage of nine BJJ black belts and a litany of Muay Thai aficionados according to MMAMania.com. Henderson appears to have healed nicely from the partial tear of hi MCL that led him to drop out of his first fight ever. He will need all of the strength he can get if he wants to add that last piece of hardware to his collection, the elusive UFC belt.
Jon Jones may be injured for quite some time, perhaps not. Dana White may force Henderson to re-earn the title shot against Lyoto Machida, who could have faced Jones at 152 but ultimately decided against it. The Light Heavyweight title mix is up in the air right now, but Dan Henderson is returning to training in October.

i dont think it matters.. hendo will get subbed qucik fast by jones it seems.. not like he's gonna throw up an armbar to surprise jones either... so, id rather see dan vs shogun 2 than see him fight jones.. jones will only lose to someone with sick TDD, and sick striking. other than that, he's gonna be a top the ladder for a longgggg time. (or until he goes to HW and there he will have some problems cause of lack of strength)
Unless a miracle happened, Dan would lose to either Jones or Machida without a doubt. His style of fighting would just not go too well against those two fighters.
At this point isn't Dan just ”getting in shape.” Training implies he'll improve the skill set he already has. I don't think he can learn to wrestle better or punch harder at this stage of his career.
It really doesnt seem like a smart move for Hendo to train at this camp that is predomently Muay Thai and BJJ. Hendo is already known for his sick bjj and has great kicks and knees, youd think he would be better off working on other things, perhaps his boxing and wrestling. Dont know about this move for hendo, but i guess we will soon find out how it goes!

hendo wiin and nock out machida for days and weeks ha! wresel him to ground machida sleep or tap in 2st round or for weeks put to cage and hit in face. machida to for lose and no can to fight for is title shot no to get. he and can not face jon jones for strap *facepolm* :-) =
I think the point of the article was to advertise the training club - "infomercial"... If he is training there he will be getting paid to train there... Re-read the style of language used - it wasn't objective, it was designed to influence.
I'm taking the position above as I am certain that the best Dan Henderson can be is the best version of himself, I'm not sure what value he could receive from a training camp which does nothing which he can get in the USA.
lastly, lets face it, Jon Jones arms are as long as some Thai people are tall.
