SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Dan Henderson left the UFC two years ago because he felt underappreciated — and underpaid.
Now that he’s back for a third tour with the top mixed martial arts promotion, the 41-year-old has no such issues.
Henderson has a new contract, a match with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 139 on Saturday night, and a possible shot at the UFC light heavyweight title after that.
