Man, Henderson is close to excellence. I wish he would get the attention he needs to go up to the next level. I don't tihnk it would take much, just sort of a trajectory - like if he was going to focus on wrestling, he could do that, or striking, or whatever. But I feel he has no direction and just kinda sometimes comes in and sometimes doesn't. Still tough though.
