It speaks to the celebrity of Dan Henderson and Fedor Emelianenko that two men,well past what most considered their peak, could generate such electric hype for a fight. The collision between the two comets that missed each other in PRIDE finally took place under the Strikeforce banner.

After some exchanges in the first few minutes of the fight, Fedor let loose a staccato of punches that tumbled Hendo. Fedor pounced on his prone foe, and it looked like he was about to erase the memory of two consecutive, bitter losses with a reverberant win.

What followed next was similar to a fight scene where the villain towers over the seemingly helpless hero, about to strike the killing blow. Just like the good guy rolls out of range at the last nerve-racking second, swoops up an out-of-frame weapon and slays the baddie, Hendo pulled off the slickest of sweeps and threw an H-bomb back down the tunnel.

The Last Emperor tasted the floor for a second before Herb Dean waved it off and was released from Strikeforce after this third straight loss.
