Vitor Belfort def. Dan Henderson knockout (head kick, punches) UFC Fight Night 77

Belfort (25-11, 13-7 UFC) dispatched the former two-division Pride Fighting Championships titleholder with a left head kick and follow-up punches in the UFC Fight Night “Belfort vs. Henderson 3” headliner on Saturday at Geraldo Jose de Almeida State Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Referee Mario Yamasaki swooped in to save Henderson (31-14, 8-8 UFC) from further damage 2:07 into round one. Inside low kick starts things off for Henderson. And another. An extremely tentative beginning as the aforementioned kicks are the only strikes thrown in the first two minutes. But it's worth the wait: Belfort erupts into violence personified, uncoiling an ungodly left high kick that thunders directly into Henderson's jaw. Henderson staggers back into the fence and goes down amid a hail of leather from Belfort, who tidies things up with a salvo of lefts from the top.
