It was an epic fight of wills for sure. I was disappointed to see Henderson try so many times with the punch combo followed up by the knee to the face without result so many times. You can tell it was part of the game plan to get Shogun with that knee to the face for a finish, but he missed many times with it.
Embarrassing for sure though for Shogun. In the 4th and 5th rounds he was able to complete the mount SO MANY TIMES and T-off, but his conditioning held him back for a brutal finish. After all the elbows to the head by Henderson though, I am surprised Shogun was even able to finish the fight.
5 stars out of 5 !! GREAT FIGHT!
