Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Dan Henderson earned “Fight of the Year” honors back\u00a0in 2011, for their 5-round war that took place at UFC 139 in San Jose, California.<\/p>\n

After 25-minutes of non-stop action, Hendo got the judges nod in what many people deem to be the greatest fight in mixed martial arts history.<\/p>\n

Since losing to Henderson, “Shogun” has gone 2-2 inside the octagon, his latest effort being a first-round KO of James Te Huna at December’s UFC event in Australia.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, since defeating Rua at UFC 139, Dan Henderson has been in a bit of a slump. The former Strikeforce and Pride champion has dropped 3 fights in a row, however, it’s worth noting that 2 of those losses came to former champs Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida by split-decision.<\/p>\n

In his latest effort, Hendo\u00a0suffered the first KO-loss of his career to none other than\u00a0Vitor\u00a0“The Phenom” Belfort.<\/p>\n

At this weekend’s ‘UFC Fight Night 38’ event in Natal, Brazil, Henderson will be\u00a0aiming to get his career back on track by defeating “Shogun” for a second time.<\/p>\n

When asked if he planned on changing anything from the first fight Hendo responded with the following:<\/p>\n

“Not to punch myself out trying to finish him because he\u2019s hard to finish,” <\/em>Henderson told MMAFighting.com<\/a>. “I\u2019ll take my shots a little better.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the losses are not going to make Henderson play it safe:<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know if it affects my strategy at all,” <\/em>said Hendo.\u00a0“Just make sure to control the fight a little bit better, making sure I don\u2019t end up on the bottom.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“In my mind, I\u2019m not coming off three losses, but it\u2019s still three losses. I don\u2019t want a fourth on that, for sure. In the first, Rashad, I felt should have gone other way. It was a close fight, it\u2019s not like I was beat up for three fights. It\u2019s a little bit extra motivation, I guess, to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again, but it won\u2019t change my strategy in the fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m excited to come down here and fight. I\u2019m already used to hear the (Brazilian) fans say I\u2019m going to die, so I want to come down here and prove them wrong (laughs).”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m capable of finishing him, but it doesn\u2019t always happens when you want, so I\u2019m ready to go five rounds. I\u2019m excited about it.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
