Mauricio Rua engaged fellow Pride vet Dan Henderson in a memorable battle last night at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.
Coming off of an impressive first round knockout victory over former champion Forrest Griffin, Rua would likely reenter title contention with another impressive outing against Henderson, though the Brazilian ultimately came up short in a close and contentious bout.
Though he was declared the loser, Rua has gained a lot of steam following the legendary battle with Henderson and the Chute Boxe product can capitalize on that momentum by making his way back to the Octagon sooner rather than later.
