When Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson fight for the third time this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 77, their combined years will total nearly a century of martial arts experience.
In other words, they’re both old as hell.
Simultaneously, this makes them both endearing and endangered; neither will likely compete for that much longer, and opportunities to see them work are becoming increasingly rare.
That’s why their fight, while seemingly meaningless in terms of title shots or serious career resurgences, is somewhat important. These guys won’t be around for much longer, so enjoy them while you can.
