Dan Henderson stops Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in rematch

The rematch did not last as long as the first war, but it was no less brutal. Back in 2011, Dan Henderson won a razor-close decision over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua after five rounds but Sunday it took "Hendo" under three rounds to knock the former UFC light heavyweight champion out with a right hook to the nose and strikes on the ground.

"This one probably means more than most," the two-time Olympic wrestler and two-division world champion said.

"'Shogun' has been such a big part of mixed martial arts and is such a talented and tough fighter."

In the first round, Henderson and Rua traded left punches and knockdowns. Henderson struck first, rocking the Brazilian before eating a right-left combo himself, next, and getting dropped to the mat.

From there, Rua finished the round on top of Henderson. In the second round, Shogun dropped Henderson again with a huge uppercut punch.

Henderson managed to survive the round but appeared to be on his way out of the fight, heading into the third period. Rua paid for letting Henderson stick around when, in the third round, "Hollywood Dan" threw a right hook on separation from the clinch with his younger foe that landed right on the button on Rua and dropped the home town fighter.

Rua spun and rolled backwards on the mat before Henderson followed up with punches to the head, forcing referee Herb Dean to step in and call a halt to the bout. The win snaps a three-right losing streak for Henderson.

The loss is Rua's third in his last four bouts.

Johny Hendricks - GSP loss was a 'blessing'

One might not expect a knockout artist to be so bright and cheery. Yet, the key to Johny Hendricks psychologically getting over a controversial decision loss to Georges St. Pierre last year was the welterweight's positive attitude that is just as much a trademark of his as his wrestling skills or powerful punching.

According to his nutrition coach and former UFC fighter Mike Dolce, Hendricks has a special mindset that doesn't allot him to stay down for too long. As Hendricks heads into another championship fight this Saturday at UFC 171, this time against Robbie Lawler for the vacant welterweight world title, he's doing so with a smile on his face.

"For Johny, [disappointment] lights a fire," Dolce recently told USA Today.

"He's a two-time, division I national champion wrestler. You don't get there without having a different type of mentality. Johny certainly has that so, when he walked out of that Octagon vs. GSP, Johny had his head up the whole time. He was rust rated that he didn't get the gold belt around his waist but in the locker room, in the back, he was cheering up his coaches. Johny was all smiles and high fives. And when we woke up the next day, it felt as if we were waking up after a victory performance."

For his part, Hendricks was shocked that he was able to stay composed and classy after the judges scored the fight for St. Pierre last fall despite the former wrestler appearing to have controlled almost every round with striking and wrestling.

"Man, the good Lord," Hendricks told USA Today in regards to how he kept it together and stayed positive.

"Man, I prayed about it. I think a lot of my fans did, too. Because, realistically, I thought I was going to flip out. I really did. Whenever Joe grabbed that mic to me, man, I thought I was just going to go on a rampage. But something came over me, man. It was just like, 'boom.' Stay calm. You know? It wasn't our moment. And, look, in return, I get to fight here in Dallas...it turned out to be a blessing."

Hendricks takes Lawler on Saturday from his home town of Dallas at UFC 171 on pay per view.

Chael Sonnen Sounds Off On ?Stupid? Wanderlei Silva

Since his feud with Anderson Silva years ago, Sonnen has made “The Axe Murderer” a target for his shots at Brazil and other Brazilian fighters. With the contract signed for Sonnen and Silva to fight in May, he recently told Combate about a […]

Glover Teixeira - 'Jones has to worry about me.'

Despite his owning a twenty fight win-streak and going unbeaten since 2005, not many pundits are giving Glover Teixeira much of a chance to dethrone UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones when they face off in Baltimore, April 26th. The Chuck Liddell protege, however, himself feels like the favorite heading into the big bout.

"I have the power to beat him," he recently told Inside MMA (video below).

"I have to believe that my skills will work against his skills."

Glover went on to say that he hasn't spent much effort finding sparring partners who could imitate the rangy and dynamic Jones because, well, the Brazilian simply isn't all that worried about what the champ can do to him. "I don't really worry about him," Teixeira claimed.

"In my mind, man, he has to worry about what I'm going to do to him...I believe that April 26th, I'm going to go over there and knock this guy out."

Do you believe that Teixeira has a shot at beating Jones? Let us know in the comments section.
