Dan Henderson’s long-anticipated return to the UFC is now a reality.
Henderson has verbally agreed to fight former UFC
light heavyweight champ Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC
139. Sources close to the event today confirmed the news to
MMAjunkie.com following an initial report from

status on the pay-per-view card, the position of the bout could not be
confirmed.
