Dan "Hollywood" Henderson (born August 24, 1970) is a former Olympic wrestler and current American mixed
martial artist and was the last welterweight (183 lb) and middleweight (205 lb) champion of the PRIDE
Fighting Championships. He is the only mixed martial artist to concurrently hold two titles in two different
weight classes in a major MMA promotion. He is also the UFC 17 middleweight and Pride 2005 welterweight
tournament champion. He currently competes for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Biography
Henderson is originally from Apple Valley, California and went to Victor Valley High School in Victorville,
California, where he twice earned medals at the California State Wrestling Chamionships. He went on to
wrestle at Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State University, participating in the 1993 NCAA championships.
After completing his collegiate eligibility, he moved to the international circuit, competing for the United
States in the 1992 and 1996 Summer Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling.

MMA career
He began training in mixed martial arts in 1997, when he joined the Real American Wrestling team (RAW). In
his first year of MMA competition, Henderson won the Brazil Open, a four-man heavyweight tournament.
Just one year later, he won the UFC 17 tournament, defeating Allan Goes and Carlos Newton. In his next MMA
foray, Henderson defeated five opponents over the course of two events to claim the 1999 RINGS King of
Kings title. He won two fights on October 28, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan, to qualify for the finals, and then beat
Gilbert Yvel, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and Renato "Babulu" Sobral on the evening of February 26, 2000, to
win the tournament.

Henderson later found a home with the PRIDE Fighting Championships, competing primarily in the
middleweight (205 lbs.) and heavyweight divisions. In PRIDE, Henderson competed against many of the
sports elite fighters including Wanderlei Silva, Renzo Gracie, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ricardo Arona,
Murilo Rua, Murilo Bustamante, Yuki Kondo, Ryo Chonan and Akihiro Gono.

When PRIDE began its Bushido brand, Henderson won their first welterweight (183 lb) tournament, defeating
Ryo Chonan and Akihiro Gono by knockout, and then defeating Bustamante by split decision in the finals to
capture the welterweight title. At PRIDE Bushido 10, Henderson defeated Kazuo Misaki by unanimous
decision after hurting him with strikes on numerous occasions. Henderson later entered the second PRIDE
Welterweight Grand Prix, losing by decision in a rematch with Misaki.

Henderson's final PRIDE bout was a rematch with Wanderlei Silva at PRIDE 33 in Las Vegas on February 24,
2007, where he scored a knockout victory to become middleweight champion, while still holding his
welterweight title. Henderson is the first fighter to simultaneously hold titles in two different weight classes
in a major organization.[2]

On September 8, 2007, Henderson returned to the UFC to face light heavyweight champion Quinton
"Rampage" Jackson at UFC 75 in London, England, losing by unanimous decision after five rounds.

On November 17, 2007, it was announced during the post fight at UFC 78, Henderson would fight UFC
middleweight champion Anderson Silva to unify the PRIDE welterweight (183 lbs.) and UFC middleweight
(185 lbs.) championships. UFC 82 took take place on March 1, 2008 and was held at the Nationwide Arena in
Columbus, Ohio. Silva defeated Henderson via submission at 4:52 of the second round due to a rear naked
choke. His next fight will be at UFC 88 against Rousimar Palhares.
