At the age of 40, Dan Henderson is a champion again.
Henderson, the former Pride champion of two different weight classes, has won the Strikeforce light heavyweight title, defeating Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio with a third-round technical knockout.
Henderson got off to a slow start but put on a tremendous finish, drilling Feijao with a hard right hand to knock him down, then finishing him with about half a dozen more punches on the ground before referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight, awarding Henderson the TKO win.
