UFC 161 Extended Preview: Henderson vs. Evans
This weekend at UFC 161 two legends of the light heavyweight
division will clash in what could serve as a turning point in either one of
their careers. Dan Henderson and
Rashad Evans are both highly decorated, former world champions, and they are both
coming off very disappointing losses.
The winner of this fight puts themselves right back into title
contention, while the loser will need to take a serious reevaluation of their
future in the UFC light heavyweight division. It is likely that each of their high level wrestling
backgrounds will nullify each other, which means it will be decided
standing.
Making the trip to Canada to corner Henderson will be Evolve
MMA’s Heath Sims. Heath is a
lifelong friend and training partner of Henderson, and he has served as
cornerman for Henderson’s entire career.
Good luck to Heath and Dan this weekend!
