Tom Cruise put it best in the movie “Cocktail” when he said, “Everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end.” And that’s usually how it goes in the fight game, but last Saturday night, Dan Henderson flipped the script on that phrase, which was fitting for a guy who once carried the nickname “Hollywood.”
So while the man UFC fans knew as “Hendo” didn’t get to walk off into the sunrise in Manchester, England with a championship belt slung over his shoulder, his five-round rematch with Michael Bisping was as close as any fighter can come to a Hollywood ending.
