Their first fight is in the UFC Hall of Fame, but the rematch was a little bit of fun, too.
The UFC 139 fight between ex-PRIDE champions Dan Henderson and Mauricio Rua went into the Fight Wing of the Hall in 2018. Henderson eked out a Fight of the Year decision in that one.
The rematch, which took place 2.5 years later at UFC Fight Night 38 nearly 11 years ago, not only one Fight of the Night, but it got Henderson a double bonus. In the second go-’round, he left no doubt with a third-round finish.
Check out the classic fight between Henderson (32-15 MMA, 9-9 UFC) and “Shogun” Rua (27-14-1 MMA, 11-12-1 UFC) in the video above.
