Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio Rua

One of Dan's Greatest Battles.

An amazing hard-fought fight from two veterans of the game, with plenty of exciting moments throughout! IMHO not a perfect 10, because their cardio didn't allow them to keep the initial pace for the whole affair: 9/10.

Absolutely deserved the FOTY for 2011. One of the best fights of all time. While people argue that the latter rounds were lacking due to both fighter running on fumes, it showed heart and unwavering desire to win.
