WINNIPEG – Saturday’s UFC 161 headliner proved a tense, evenly matched and highly competitive clash of veteran fighters. However, in what proved to be a deciding third round, Rashad Evans took the striking edge and ultimately edged fellow ex-champion Dan Henderson via split decision. The bout took place at MTS Centre in Winnipeg and aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. The decision, which easily could have gone either way, seemingly caught Evans by surprise when the 28-29, 29-28 and 29-28 scores were read. Perhaps it was the satisfaction of knowing he won a round when he truly needed it.
