Hindsight - UFC Sao Paulo: Belfort vs. Henderson 3 in retrospect

Or in this case, buryin' themselves. That's what Dan Henderson ended up doing when he made the first mistake against Vitor Belfort, namely waiting at the edge of kicking range to see what the former light heavyweight champion would do. Belfort's answer was to kick him in the head, and from there the fight was pretty much over. You can argue it if you want; if you're a big Hendo fan, or you just can't bear to see Vitor win, but that fight was over. While the top of this card was entirely predictable, the prelims were a mess of close bouts between winning fighters with a lot on the line in terms of future relevance.
