Bisping vs. Henderson 2 fight has potential for one of great moments in UFC history

When Dan Henderson steps into the Octagon Saturday in the middle of the night in Manchester, England to revive his 2009 rivalry with Michael Bisping, he will become the oldest man ever to compete for the UFC championship.

Even more remarkable is that Henderson has competed at the highest level in both wrestling and MMA -- two sports unforgiving when it comes to tearing up one's knees, back, neck and shoulders -- for roughly a quarter-century. Saturday's title match is more than 24 years after Henderson first represented the U.S. in the Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling.
