yeah, i dont want the thread locked. I want someone to explain to me how a legal blow is somehow a direct connection to a fighters lack of moral fiber. And a fighter that has been deducted points for multiple illegal blows is appointed the poster child of good sportsmanship.
If we dont consider Nate a "dirty fighter" for what he did in the Leites fight, then how is Dan a dirty fighter for landing a legal blow?

nate lose that fight that was for him to win so he pay the price for those hits that you mentioned, and when was suggest that dan was a dirty fighter? there is a big diference betewen said that you have class and play as a dirty figther, in this thread there is no suggestion that dan henderson is a dirty figther, the thing that is been said is that henderson made a bad choice to put another hit on an alredy down figther that could make him big damage and one of the reasons that anti mma people keeps telling of mma on why is a c**k fight thing and not a sport

So, we're not talking about dirty fighters, but who has more class? In general, or based on 1 punch?
By all accounts Dan Henderson is one of the most humble, respectful fighters in all of mma. When is the last time you heard him call out another fighter in an interview? Yet Nate gets up there every chance he gets and calls out AS. He makes excuses,"Oh, he hasnt faced Nate Marquatdt....not THIS Nate Marquardt". And lady night with his "if you someone who can get in there and kick Anderson Silvas butt then you'll give it to me" speech.
And i agree with Jak....as im rewatching the fight right now, the reason he held up his right was because it clearly would have been a strike to the back of the head
