Vitor Belfort Head Kicks Dan Henderson (Again) To Set Up KO Win
By Fernando Quiles Jr. -
Nov 8, 2015


For the third time, Vitor Belfort (25-11) and Dan Henderson (31-14) competed against each other. This time, the place was Sao Paulo, Brazil and the event was UFC Fight Night 77. Henderson won the first bout by unanimous decision under the Pride FC banner back in 2006. Belfort took the second fight with a head kick knockout back in Nov. 2013.

It was deja vu for “Hendo,” and not in a good way.

Henderson landed a leg kick to get the offense going in round one. Both men were tentative at the start. Belfort’s first strike was a head kick that dropped “Hendo” and he followed it up with ground and pound to finish the fight.

Final Result: Vitor Belfort def. Dan Henderson via KO (strikes) – R1, 2:07

The second and third fights were "twins". Hendo swore he new what he did wrong in the 2cnd, fight and said it wouldn't happen again. BAM same shit! He needs to retire if for nothing other than respect for his wife and kids. Man is a walking head trauma, and should respect his family.

Yea Str8Shooter,as a fighter,there comes a time in our lives when we have to accept that our days "inside" the ring are done.At least competitively.

Whats sad is when great fighters go on too long and ruin their legend.Take Shamrock for example,"THE WORLD MOST DANGEROUS MAN" ,that legend gets tarnished everytime he steps into the cage and gets DESTROYED!! Now when you hear he's going to fight you go.........OH NO!!! Keep the legend you built in your day.Stay remembered as that great fighter.Not as the old timer getting his ass beat all the time.
