In recent weeks, in the face of Ultimate's denial of a shot at the middleweight title, Vitor belfort asked for a fight against the veteran Dan Henderson, for those who were already defeated in the now extinct PRIDE. Hendo's jiu-jitsu coach, Ricardo Feliciano, thinks the hypothetical fight is very favorable for his athlete.
“Vitor is at the top and Henderson is coming off two defeats by decision. Victory over him would lift us up. Hendo already weighs 93 kg (light heavyweight category limit), this is his normal weight. If this fight happens in November, it would be great if it is included on the card in Las Vegas (UFC 166: St. Pierre vs Hendricks). Let's prepare. Vitor will regret asking for this rematch!”, Ricardo said to the “Fighters Only” website.
In his last two fights, Dan Henderson was defeated in warm fights to Lyoto Machida e Rashad evans. In turn - Vitor belfort, who is number two in the middleweight category – comes from two big knockout victories, over Michael Bisping e Luke Rockhold.
