Former Pride and Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson got thoroughly outclassed by undefeated contender Daniel Cormier at UFC 173 on Saturday, but he still doesn’t think it’s time to retire at 43 years old.

“Hendo,” a 17-year fight veteran, told UFC color commentator Joe Rogan that he has no intention of hanging the gloves up just yet – despite coming up short in four of his past five fights.

“I'm not done yet," Henderson said, as Rogan tried to coax the fan favorite into announcing his retirement on the spot.

However, the Team Quest co-founder admitted that light heavyweight may not be the best division for him at this point in his career and that a return to middleweight may finally be necessary.

Cormier, the No. 2 light heavyweight in the UFC’s official rankings, routinely ragdolled Henderson for nearly 14 minutes.

At the tail end of the third round, “DC” took Henderson’s back and flattened him out before locking in a rear-naked choke.

Henderson opted to go to sleep rather than tap out to the fully locked in submission hold.

After compiling a 4-1 record under the Strikeforce banner (competing at middleweight, light heavyweight and even heavyweight), the famed wrestler-turned-striker is just 2-3 inside the Octagon since November 2011.

Both of those victories came against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and both matchups were highly entertaining affairs.

Does Henderson still have what it takes to be a top contender at 185 pounds or does he need to face the facts that his best years inside the cage are behind him?
