Often an overlooked fight, Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson faced each other at UFC 204.

This was Bisping's first-ever defence of the title, and he knew better than to take it lightly. After all, he was familiar with Dan Henderson in the Octagon, having suffered a loss to him previously in his UFC career.

The fight was not something that many thought should have happened. Henderson was 46 at the time and had suffered 3 losses in his last 5 fights. Yoel Romero was a better contender according to many.

Thankfully for Bisping, he was able to prove that in the Octagon, old victories mean nothing.

When he faced down Dan Henderson, it was an excellent fight that went all 5 rounds. During it, Henderson showed that age meant nothing as well, dropping Bisping twice. But it did not matter.

The heart Bisping showed was enormous, and at the end of 5 rounds, he was declared the winner and still UFC Champion. The fight is one of the greatest in his career, and signifies who he was in the Octagon -- a fighter who has as much heart as technique.

This proved to be his last victory, as in the next fight he lost the Championship to Georges St-Pierre. UFC, too, has recognised his heart, and thus has added him to the UFC Hall of Fame. There might not be another fighter as deserving of the honour.
