Two rivals square off in the middleweight main event of UFC Fight Night 77 on Saturday when old lions Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson clash.
No. 4-ranked middleweight Belfort returned from a long layoff earlier this year when he met Chris Weidman at UFC 187, but his bid for the title ended in less than three minutes. No. 12-ranked Henderson is just 2-5 in his last seven bouts. Yet this fight remains meaningful.
The third fight in this series will keep the winner in the mix at 185 pounds and likely signal the end of the road for the loser. High stakes, indeed.
The two former champions first met in 2006 at Pride 32, where Henderson won a decision victory. They collided again seven years later at UFC Fight Night 32, where Belfort knocked out Hendo.
How will the third fight go?
This is your head-to-toe breakdown for the Belfort-Henderson trilogy that comes to a close this weekend in Brazil.
