As the collision course that would ultimately pit Dan Henderson against Renato “Babalu” Sobral neared impact in February 2000, Henderson was a man without expectation of victory. He was too green, he was fighting in a tournament against men far more experienced than him, and the field was simply too deep. His only expectation was cold, hard cash.
“I was just broke and I needed the money,” Henderson told MMA Fighting.
On Dec. 4 when they rematch, Henderson’s goals and intentions will be quite a bit loftier.
“I want to be the best in the world,” he said.
