NATAL, Brazil – MMAjunkie lead staff reporter John Morgan gives his instant reaction to Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 38 main event between light heavyweight MMA legends Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
In the headliner, Henderson scored an incredible third-round TKO victory over Rua despite struggling in the early going. It was Rua who looked strong in the opening two rounds of the fight, but Henderson unloaded his patented power right, starching his Brazilian opponent and halting the fight.
UFC 171 took place at Ginasio Nelio Dias in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The event aired on FOX Sports 1 and streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
Morgan discusses the rematch of the 2011 “Fight of the Year” and why the win was so important for Henderson.
