It has been announced by the UFC that Vitor Belfort will be facing Dan Henderson in the Light Heavyweight Division on November 9th. This is coming after Vitor has stated that he would not fight Tim Kennedy or any other Middleweight in the UFC unless if it was for the UFC Middleweight Championship. The two fighters originally fought in PRIDE in 2006 with Henderson scoring a unanimous decision. It was rumored that he might be facing off with Lyoto Machida, who will be facing Tim Kennedy soon as the main event of UFC Fight for the Troops 3.
Dan Henderson is coming off of consecutive decision losses to Lyoto Machida and Rashad Evans. This is a must-win fight for Dan Henderson. I think Henderson has the ability to win this fight as long as he goes in with a a tactical approach to the fight. Vitor Belfort who is coming off of two consecutive knockout wins over Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold. He will finally get the opportunity to face someone in the UFC who possess as much one-punch knockout power as he has. I think the UFC is putting together yet another crowd pleasing fight for the fans. I don't agree with the fact that the UFC is letting Vitor Belfort play the diva in the middleweight division and letting him choose who he will and won't fight. Belfort must remember that he is an employee and not the employer.
