UFC 139: Main Event Result

The fight between Dan Henderson and Shogun Rua at this past weekend's UFC 139 will go down as one of the greatest fights in MMA history.

It looked like the fight might be called in the first few minutes of the fight as Henderson took control and battered Shogun. Shogun was able to weather the storm and get back to his feet, but his face was bloodied. While Shogun was noticeably damaged, he came back with a few hay makers of his own. The back and forth continued into the 2nd, with Henderson getting the better of Shogun in the exchanges. The 3rd round was all Henderson's. He dropped Shogun again, and punished him on the ground. Somehow though, Shogun made it through the round. By the 4th round, both fighters were gassed. Shogun landed a couple of shots that slowed Henderson down dramatically. Henderson looked liked he could fall over at any second. Shogun took Henderson down, and moved to mount before Henderson reversed him. The 5th round was all Shogun. He took Henderson down early in the round and immediately moved to mount. Shogun spent the rest of the round on top, or working for the mount. While Shogun landed multiple punches while on top, he was never able to finish Henderson. All three judges scored the fight 48-47 for Henderson. Both men gave it their all and put on a great show. I'm sure their locker room bonus from Dana was nice.
