Dan Henderson survived a fifth-round onslaught to earn a unanimous decision victory over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the main event of UFC 139 on Saturday night, one of the best fights of the year.
Ever since it was made official that the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first network broadcast would feature just one fight, a hefty contingent of fans and media questioned the decision.
At a news conference Saturday outside the Las Vegas headquarters of the biggest name in mixed martial arts, activists called on Fox Sports and advertisers to “drop” the UFC until it adopts a code of conduct like other professional sports.
What took a decade to put together took just 64 seconds to wrap up. Junior dos Santos captured the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title by knocking out Cain Velasquez on Saturday night at the Honda Center in the organization’s first event on network television.
