He was a massive underdog when he knocked out Fedor Emelianenko. He was an underdog when he beat Mauricio Rua at UFC 139, as well as in their rematch at UFC Fight Night 38. He was even an underdog against Tim Boetsch, a fight that ended with a 28-second knockout.
So perhaps it's no surprise that Dan Henderson will once again play the role of unlikely hero this Saturday (Nov. 7, 2015) in hostile territory when he takes on his long-time rival Vitor Belfort in the UFC Fight Night 77 main event.
