Dan Henderson wasted little time going after Palhares from the very first second. And he almost paid for it when Palhares went after his ankle. Henderson did defend the take donw for the most part until the first minute of the second round when Palhares put him down on the mat. Dan almost got caught in a knee-bar but he wasn’t going to tap and got out of it.

This Palhares guy is very dangerous. He keeps going for submissions in every possible position. I don’t know if he can actually execute any of this against Anderson Silva, but he is going to be very dangerous to most 185 lbs guys. This was a very close fight. But Henderson did enough to win. Not a particularly exciting fight but If I were Dan, I’d be happy I ended the losing streak.
