The UFC returns to Brazil for a rare Sunday-night event this weekend, and the headliner is a rematch of one of the greatest fights in company history. Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua  (22-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) and former PRIDE/Strikeforce titleholder Dan Henderson  (29-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC) meet for a second time, roughly 28 months after their 2011 “Fight of the Year” at UFC 139. Henderson was fortunate enough to get home-field advantage in the first affair, but in the rematch, the tables have turned, and “Shogun” gets to compete in his home country of Brazil, where – over the course of 14 UFC events in the country – Brazilian fighters hold a 70-28 advantage against foreign opposition.
