And there goes my $100! What an upset! Dan Henderson is the winner!
This was another one I was really excited about. Hendo has had a mixed run at MW, with major flashes of legit, and several instances of "Meh, fuck it, I'm going home" mid-big-fight. Couture was an interesting challenge for him, and he rose like Pete. Perhaps without the gambling though.
(Also, why does our colour commentator keep betting on the fights? That seems unethical)
