Dan Henderson came in strong and won the first round, with Koscheck coming back a bit. Then Koscheck got an adrenaline boost, and never let up thereafter. His GnP won this, and Henderson is beyond a doubt one of the toughest guys in ManMMA (absorbed silly amounts of damage 7 times that what put Fitch in his earlier fight.
