UFC full fight: Henderson-’Shogun’ 2 may not be a HOFer, but it still slapped

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.

Dan Henderson is considered by many a pioneer and a legend of MMA. Yet, he doesn’t have an individual spot in the UFC’s Hall of Fame. Henderson is technically in the UFC’s HOF but under the “Fight Wing,” – which is a sector dedicated to recognizing the greatest fights in company history.

When it comes to rematches in mixed martial arts, there seems to be little room for mediocrity whether we’re talking about the expectation or the result.

But as far as results go, MMA sequels seem to either continue to pile on the action atop the intrigue of the horror a la “Aliens,” or they just end up leaving us with that feeling we had when we walked out of “The Matrix Reloaded.” That said, this sport has given us plenty of “Godfather 2” candidates over the years that are worth acknowledging.

Sean Strickland is known for being outspoken and having no filter, whether in real life or on social media, but it has caused him problems throughout his career. The newly crowned middleweight titleholder has come a long way since his younger, inconsistent days inside the octagon. Despite evolving from a hungry prospect to the champion of the world, Strickland remains his boisterous self, which was enough to remove him from one of his gyms. According to MMA legend Dan Henderson , ‘Tarzan’ was a disrupting member of the Team Quest group, forcing him to be removed from the gym during his early days in the sport.
