Review: 2011-11-19, amazing and tough fight, great strikes, excellent grappling techniques, high pace: this is what we want, this is mma and this is a Fight of the Year. Congratulations to Shogun and Hendo, two real warriors (awarded with “Fight of the Night” honors). Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (20-5-0) entered as the No.2 light heavyweight in the world while Dan Henderson (28-8-0) entered as the No.6. “Shogun” Rua vs Henderson was the main event of the UFC 139; they also faced each other a second time on March 23, 2014 (=Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Dan Henderson 2).

Review: 2011-07-30, Fedor Emelianenko starts strong but Dan Henderson does not seem intimidated and replies to the blows of the Russian. In the last minute of the first round Fedor Emelianenko punches Henderson with some hard shots that knock down the American but after a few seconds “Hendo” surprises Fedor with an uppercut and the referee stops the fight (probably too early). Even with a referee decision the fight was very exciting: 4 stars (third consecutive defeat of Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko). Watch the video!
Review: also with a brutal Ko, the fight between Dan Henderson vs Rafael Cavalcante was not so exciting. Watch the video!
