podcast by night
all day hello Dan Henderson what's happening good to see you too man um what
have you been up to
other than coaching you're coaching a lot I know that I watch a lot of your
videos yeah I mean I'm
coaching a little bit got got some decent up-and-comers but other than that I've
been I've
been working on a project where my gym I own the building my gyms in and I'm
putting a brewery
distillery restaurant in oh nice part of it'll overlook there so we're in mid
construction right
now so it's been it's been we started construction it got put on hold when
COVID happened so it's been
a almost the biggest fight of my life trying to get this thing done but yeah it's
finally
finally going to be done and hopefully into the year you're down in uh you're
still down like
Temecula yeah that's a good area no I love it there last time I saw you was at
that casino
that's a fun little casino oh at Petranga yeah yeah yeah no I love it out there
if I I was born and
raised in California so you know it'd be hard to leave I got so many roots
there but you know living
in Temecula I feel like I'm in one of the best spots in California yeah it's
one of the best it's
most sane yeah it's pretty sane yeah pretty a lot of ranches and it's like
normal people not a lot of
craziness going on yeah you get closer to Los Angeles it just gets polluted
yeah toxic fucking
thinking where did you live up there I lived in Bell Canyon which was like a
half hour outside of LA
which was nice like I had land and a lot of coyotes and a lot of owls and hawks
and shit and
mountain lions it's good it's good it was good like juxtaposition it was a nice
relief from Hollywood
I get there it's quiet and how is the little community though the area it's
fine yeah yeah it's
fine it's just like it here better though oh yeah way better I'm never leaving
yeah now this place is
this place is the best yeah it's just the freedom that you get in Texas it's
just so much
you just get so accustomed to it yeah no I I couldn't imagine but yeah I don't
know if I
could deal with the humidity of out here you get used to it I don't know I've
always liked the heat
it doesn't bother me at all you know I just uh because I do the sauna every day
anyway so I think
my body's like acclimated to heat so during the summertime you don't really
have to get in the sauna
I get in the sauna too I do it every day but during the day like uh getting
ready for elk season I was
out in my yard every day for three hours and 105 degrees I just bring a 64
ounce hydro flask filled
with electrolytes and water and just drink that and I would come inside and it
was literally like I went
swimming I would just be drenched my jeans my shirt everything drenched what
are you doing out in the
yard just shooting okay you're shooting you know getting ready so I had to
practice so it's like
there's only one place I could practice 100 yards yeah it's in the yard so I
was out there practicing every
day have you taken a hundred yard shot no way never never I would never do that
never but when you take a
hundred yard shot every day 50-yard shots look like a chip shot right like I
shot my elk last week at 50 and it was easy it was perfect it was perfect it
was perfect distance
you know I knew I was gonna hit it yeah I've gotten a couple at 50 I think one
at 60 was my
long longest shot but yeah my friend Cam shot one at two yards he shot at two
yards a frontal shot at
two yards he made it just made a video of it it's fucking crazy this elk hadn't
he was on his knees
and the elk was coming up the trail and the elk had no idea he was there he's
just standing there at
full draw and then the elk looked down and saw him there and it caught him
right in the chest went right
through his heart wow yeah this is the video oh this is a real clip of it so he's
moving up this trail
and this is the elk well you'll see the show well it's very hard to see you'll
see it on his youtube
channel it's much better but that's how close he was there's two yards from it
that's funny and my first
elk I ever shot was with a bow but it was at like 10 feet so three and a half
yard but yeah it was in a burn
area so there was a lot of like new growth going up and there was a little quakey
tree and
I saw an elk a couple hundred yards away I called him and he started coming
over and then you know I
called again kind of in a different direction so he'd kind of go into a nice
little spot I could shoot
him and I'm kind of jittery getting my my trigger on the loop you know my
release on there and by the
time I look up he's like right on the other side of this quakey 10 feet away
from me you know just
kind of looking to see where the cow is and just same thing plugged it right
right through the middle
I've never taken that shot I had an opportunity to do that shot last week at 45
yards but there was
some shit in the way of him and I don't like that shot yeah not not at that
distance no that shot's
like a I passed right you pass right through him oh yeah that's it's a
devastating shot just right
at an angle yeah it's devastating if you hit it I mean there's so many videos
online of guys hitting
that and it's you know they just spray blood and die instantly yeah he went he
was he managed to run
run 20 yards down down the hill and didn't make it any further it's a great uh
it's a great discipline
for fighters a lot of guys who they leave fighting and the excitement and the
intensity of fighting
nothing can match that and so the only thing that comes close for a lot of them
is bow hunting yeah
no I can see that for sure I mean I've done it I was doing it when I was
fighting too but yeah I mean
I've been I grew up hunting but never really started shooting animals till I
get a little bit older
getting a little better at it but it's hard I need to get out and bow hunt a
little more that's my
favorite Honda's a bow archery elk hunt yeah no it's the most exciting it's
also the most crazy they're
screaming yeah there's so much chaos and you gotta duck those cows and sneak
around it's it's fun
I love it it's to me it's like the best it's the best way to get meat first of
all and then it's also the best way for
me to decompress right you know and it's really good meat oh it's the best meat
it's the best meat yeah I
ate the heart last night oh I don't know if I do that you don't eat the heart
no it's that's good man you just
just fry it up I just put salt pepper and garlic on it and butter fry it in
butter I feel like it would have a different
texture it does it's it's chewy but it's good it tastes good I'm not a fan of
liver either I eat the liver too
yeah I can't do it it's good for you I mean it's the best meat for you it might
be good for you but
it's rough I don't eat too much ate a couple ounces in the morning with eggs
you know I just
slice it up and vacuum seal it and freeze it and then thaw it out for for
breakfast it's a good breakfast
get you going yeah no I'm not I'm not into that yeah you're more of a man than
me for sure that's
definitely not true so uh how have you adapted to retirement uh I feel like I'm
pretty wet pretty
good it's not like I have the itch to get in there and do it again occasionally
when I see some of these
guys and and with with a little bit different style I feel like oh it would
have been fun to match up or see
how I do against them you know I'd do it in in practice not right with no
cameras that'd be you
know just to see right it would be not not for any type of title or money it
would be fun but
for a lot of guys it's so hard to not just resist that urge to come back
yeah I mean I started wrestling I was five years old and two olympic teams and
then and then I started
fighting for and I fought for 20 years so I feel like I did enough you
definitely did enough you did
a lot so a lot more than most yeah over over that span of time than most guys
compete at that level and
you know I felt like uh I was ready when I retired I was you know honestly my
body felt okay I hadn't
really had too many big injuries at all for for a while and I just was sleeping
spending too much time
on the couch after practice just tired too tired to do anything else during
training camp yeah so
family life was kind of you know with the kids and not spending time doing
stuff like that was
taking a toll so I was like you know it's time yeah well you did it at the
right time it's like
and it's good that you didn't come back it's just like so many guys come back
and you kind of wish
they didn't and right you know well I wouldn't be one of those guys if I did
come back I would
it would be I would be I still feel really good so but I I don't plan on it but
nobody's offered me
enough money to get off the couch anyway so well what I'm what I'm interested
in seeing is like
there's so many different options now with guys you know like bare knuckle
boxing right it's nice
you know a lot of guys going into that and I felt like that would be a thing
that you would excel at
yeah I hadn't really watched it until I watched Chad Mendez fight last year and
I'm like man I like
those rules that would be right up my alley not like I don't think I would I
would do okay at boxing
straight boxing but not that great I would do a lot better at the bare knuckle
rules with the dirty
boxing yeah hold on to the guy and yeah it's very different it's uh I really
like what Jorge Masvidal
is doing where he's got bare knuckle MMA it just shows you that it's like when
you don't have first
of all grappling is way better because you don't have the padding over your
gloves that prevents certain
chokes it's just like it gets in the way of stuff but also it's more realistic
you know like your your
hands like I think we talked about this before I think it was Tank Abbott was
the first guy I figured
out that if you wear MMA gloves you actually could punch harder because you you're
not worried as much
about breaking your hands yeah wrap your hands up put gloves on and it's not a
disadvantage it's kind
of an advantage right yeah it doesn't necessarily protect your opponent that
much it really protects
your hands right no I agree yeah but just seems to me weird that you know your
elbows are unprotected
your knees are unprotected your shins are unprotected you can go bone to bone
with that but not with your
hands just seems like it doesn't really make sense right I and when they when
they first started UFC
there was no gloves and and that's how it was yeah when they started wearing
gloves and that was my
thoughts exactly was more to protect your hands than yeah you know I guess
without without your hands uh
with if your hands break or fall apart and the fight kind of doesn't happen as
well yeah it's just it's
interesting to see how effective it is too like Mike Perry has done an amazing
job transitioning into
bare knuckle like he's he's probably the most successful at it definitely the
most successful at
it from MMA guys right yeah I saw him uh with with Luke Rockhold knock some
teeth silly yeah I mean those when it's
just raw knuckle on your face like a regular mouthpiece it's not quite good
enough right and and it's
interesting that guys are still using the upper mouthpiece only with bare knuckle
I would think you
might want to use an upper and a lower yeah I always just did the upper yeah
most people do I mean very
few people fought in MMA with an upper and a lower right I don't think anybody
not that I know of not
that I know of in boxing you used to see it you used to see guys who had like a
full mouthpiece but
it just gets in the way you're breathing too much that's what that's what I
have a problem with yeah
did you breathe out of your nose can your nose work my nose works fine a lot of
guys you know yeah
I started snoring and uh so I went and got a sleep test but they they went in
and cleaned it up no
they put a scope up there to see how my nose was because they you know
