\"Hendo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones defeated Daniel Cormier via unanimous decision in a highly anticipated ‘Bad Blood’ match.<\/p>\n

Prior to fighting Jones however, Cormier met Dan Henderson in the Octagon at UFC 173 where he put on a spectacular performance that consisted of Henderson being rag-dolled.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Henderson has plenty of wrestling experience himself, and he spoke about why he feels Cormier should have used his wrestling more against Jones.<\/p>\n

“That was probably the biggest surprise of it. He didn’t really attempt too many [takedowns]. The ones he did, I don’t know. It seemed like he got in the clinch a couple of times and just kind of pushed off and backed out instead of keeping him there and working on that takedown. I don’t know. I think part of that was he ran out of gas at the end of the fight, but he should have been taking him down earlier, I thought. Jones is long and has some good balance. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to take him down.”<\/p>\n

“I thought DC’s wrestling would make a difference in that fight and he didn’t really utilize it the way he’s capable of. Jones did a great job defending it and putting DC on his back a couple of times.”<\/p>\n

“DC just kind of ran out of gas,”<\/em><\/p>\n
