HENDO OR RANDY? Randy winning both LHW and hw a couple times, or Hendo holding two titles?

This is a tough question that will just turn into a Pride Vs. UFC debate, no doubt.

In any event, to me at least, Dan Henderson holding two title at the same time is more impressive than what Randy Couture did. I'm not trying to take anything away from Randy because he is a great guy, a terrific fighter, and an American Hero, but, in my eyes, it's Dan Henderson.

Dan didn't drop in weight to obtain the Middlewight belt, he moved UP and defeated a man that many felt to be one of the superior fighters in the world.

This is a tough one. Randy's age helps make his legacy more interesting but nobody expected Henderson to win. I say Henderson, unless Randy wins at 68. Then coming back at 42 and winning again is goign to be tough to beat. It also depends on how successfully henderson defends both belts. If he can hold both for a while his legacy with explode.

I'm saying Hendo right now because he holds the 2 belts at the same time, and he's never been KO'd before. If Randy wins at UFC 68, then I could possibly change my mind. Henderson is definitely one of the most underrated fighters of all time.

Holding two belts a number of times is more impressive than holding two belts at once.

I'm not comparing Randy to Dan thats just my opinion of the facts you wrote.

He didn't hold 2 belts a number of times though. He held the LHW title once, and the HW title twice. If he wins the HW title a 3rd time I'd give him the edge.

are you sure? Cause he dropped the LHW title to Vitor on that cut. I guess you could say that wasnt really two different title reigns.

yeah either way I agree with you, right now I would have to say Hendo but if Randy wins at 68 it would be hard to agrue against the ageless one.
