It took 17 long years for somebody to finally knock out Dan Henderson.

Famed for his sheer toughness and his vicious H-Bomb punches, Hendo is also known to have one of the best chins to ever enter the Octagon.

That first knockout came in 2013 at the hands - well, technically the feet - of the legendary Vitor Belfort.

Throughout his career, Henderson rarely made fights look easy. Whenever Hollywood was in the cage, you knew you were in for a battle of attrition and a bloody war. And part and parcel of so many of his fights being lengthy slug-fests is down to the fact that Hendo could take a punch.

Given the punishment Henderson was able to take during his fighting days, it was often questioned whether the man was even human - many believing his chin must have been made out of cement.
