HENDO TRAINING WITH CHAEL SONNEN, RYO CHONAN IN PREP FOR VITOR BELFORT
In preparation for his main event fight with Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 32, Dan Henderson has been training with UFC Light Heavyweight contender Chael Sonnen, Pride Veteran Ryo Chonan, StrikeForce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine and Cage Warriors Middleweight Champion Jesse Taylor at the brand new, state of the art Dan Henderson Athletic Fitness Center in Temecula, CA. As Henderson ramps up his training, he’s brought in world class fighters who are also training for upcoming fights. Chael Sonnen, one of the top wrestlers in all of MMA, is currently training for a former foe of Dan Henderson in Rashad Evans for a fight that takes place at UFC 167. Former Pride veteran Ryo Chonan, a longtime training partner of Henderson, has made the trip to the U.S. in preparation for his retirement fight at DEEP Tribe Tokyo Fight against current DEEP Welterweight Champion Dan Hornbuckle. Ryo brings a dynamic and fast paced striking game to simulate the footwork and handspeed of Belfort. Also in the training mix is the last StrikeForce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine who also brings a fast striking game to the table and current Cage Warriors Middleweight Champion Jesse Taylor who brings a stellar wrestling game to Henderson’s training camp. With all of the fighters training for upcoming fights the training sessions have been intense as each fighter pushes the other to their limits. Training camp images below:
