Going into Saturday night's UFC Fight Night in New Orleans, there was talk about how, in this sport that is so cruel to the old, it was time for someone to retire.
Two months before his 45th birthday, and with five losses in his last six fights, there was a feeling when Dan Henderson walked to the cage at the Smoothie King Center, that it could and should be his last such walk. This was in spite of the fact all week he said he was feeling great, and, win or lose, he planned on finishing his contract, which had several more fights to go.
