Benson Henderson Says Daniel Bryan’s Been Training in Jiu-Jitsu

– Benson Henderson spoke with Sporting News for a new interview. The former UFC lightweight champion talked about Daniel Bryan training while he’s been on the shielf due to his concussion.

“He was out with some injuries in WWE,” said Henderson. “He came to our gym and moved up to blue belt in jiu-jitsu under my coach John Crouch. Every time I go in there, he’s working his butt off. I heard he was pretty strong and actually surprised me with how technical he is. A lot of guys have a hard time learning all those techniques. I heard he was really great at being able to use his technique and not relying on his strength. He’s smooth and does jiu-jitsu really well.”

Bryan has been cleared by non-WWE doctors but has yet to receive the go-ahead from the company’s neurosurgeon, Dr. Joseph Maroon.
