At UFC Fight Night 38, Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua met in a battle to remain relevant in connection with light heavyweight title conversation.
It initially appeared Rua was going to push Henderson one step closer to retirement, as he had rocked “Hendo” multiple times in the first two rounds. However, Henderson answered with a huge right hook in the third frame, breaking Rua’s nose and scoring an outstanding come-from-behind victory.
He’s 43 years old, but Henderson remains among the best light heavyweights in the world with his win on Sunday. How did the weekend’s results impact his standing in the 205-pound rankings?
