6. Historical Importance
As the only fighter ever to hold championships in two different weight classes at the same time in the history of a major MMA promotion, Dan Henderson has long been known as a fighter who will never shy away from a fight.
On the other side of the cage, Fedor Emelianenko was nearly unanimously considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world for the better part of a decade. Like Henderson, he did not let size get in the way of his monumental performances.
The fight between Fedor and Henderson will be a nostalgic flashback that few other fights could possibly ever hope to replicate. History will be made one way or another.
