Dan Henderson managed to hang on, to win the 5 round fight against Mauricio "shogun" Rua. Henderson bloddied and busted up Rua early in the fight.By the third round Shogun was a mess with his left eye badly swollen and cut.Amazingly, after being punnished for 3 rounds by Hendo,Mauricio showed the heart of a champion and actually started to take the fight to Henderson.The fourth round was controlled by Rua,as henderson started to get tired, Rua found strength.In the fifth an early takedown by Rua, showed the killer instinct.Rua quickly mounted Henderson and held onto top control,but lacked the strenth to finnish.The fight has quickly become one of the great UFC fights of all time,what a battle by two of the gritiest fighters in the world.
My question is this,does Dan Henderson get an immediate fight for the title in his next fight,or does he wait for the Jones vs Evans winner?
