In their original meeting, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Dan Henderson engaged in one of the most entertaining fights in MMA history.
So, it was only a matter of time until UFC matchmakers went back to that well again. With a rather shallow UFC Fight Night 38 fight card, the world’s top MMA promotion is banking on fans wanting to see Rua and “Hendo” thrown down for five more rounds.
Before the main attraction, The Ultimate Fighter winners Cezar Ferreira, Norman Parke, Leonardo Santos, Rony Jason and Diego Brandao will be among the biggest names to step into the Octagon on Sunday.
As always, Bleacher Report writers Sean Smith, Riley Kontek, Scott Harris, Craig Amos and James MacDonald are here to provide their picks for this weekend’s main card.
