UFC stars react to Dan Henderson's incredible knockout at UFC 199
UFC legend Dan Henderson recorded his 16th career knockout Saturday night in his main card bout against Hector Lombard at UFC 199.
Lombard stunned the former champion a few times in the opening round, but the ever-resilient Hendo kept fighting. And when he saw his opening, during a clinch exchange in the second round, Henderson uncorked a devastating back elbow that dropped the former Olympian.
Henderson dropped the hammer on Lombard with one more elbow for good measure before the referee stepped in.
Check out how some of Henderson's fellow UFC stars reacted to the all-time great's 32nd career win.
