On Saturday night, Dan Henderson proved that he still has gas in the tank—at least as far as his career is concerned—as he defeated Mauricio “Shogun” Rua by unanimous decision.
Hendo showed that age is only a number, and at 41 years of age, Henderson defeated a 29-year-old who should be at his physical peak.
Henderson has now basically earned any fight he wants, as he can get a title shot at middleweight Anderson Silva or a shot at light heavyweight Jon Jones.
For now, let’s just take a look at how the division is shaping up after this major fight.
