UFC fans get to see a pair of Pride legends in San Jose at UFC 139, as Mauricio “Shogun” Rua brings his knockout power against Dan Henderson, who has never lost via KO and is marking his third run in the UFC. This light-heavyweight clash could be a classic.

UFC Odds – Saturday, November 19th

Rua (20-5) bounced back from losing the 205-pound belt to Jon Jones by destroying another former champ, Forrest Griffin, in a rematch in Rua’s debut, which was won by Griffin. Price per head players know that there are few who are more explosive than “Shogun”, who wants another shot at the title and a win over Henderson would show that he is on the road back to the top.

Henderson (28-8) has won belts in Pride and Strikeforce at 185 and 205 pounds, but he’s coming off a win over Fedor Emelianenko at heavyweight, although he didn’t weight much more than his normal 205 pounds. He has won his last three fights by KO, and Henderson sets up his heavy-handed shots with a strong wrestling game. Henderson also defeated Rua’s older brother, Murilo, back in November 2001.

“Shogun” opened as a favorite of around -160, and that’s a fair line considering the stature of these two. Rua is younger than Henderson by almost 12 years, and he showed in his last fight that he may have been hurt in the Jones fight. But Henderson is extremely tough and as was mentioned, he’s never been knocked out. Still, we’re going with a “Shogun” on a mission in our best online sportsbook.
