As expected, a light heavyweight rematch between MMA legends Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (22-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) and Dan Henderson (29-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC) will serve as the headliner of March’s UFC Fight Night 38, which will see the octagon touch down for the first time in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. UFC officials recently announced the long-rumored location of Ginasio Nelio Dias will indeed play host to the event, which takes place March 23 and sees a main card air on FOX Sports 1 following prelims that are expected to stream on UFC Fight Pass. “Shogun” and Henderson first met in the main event of UFC 139 in November 2011. That fight, a unanimous decision win for Henderson, was regarded by many as 2011′s “Fight of the Year” because of its back-and-forth nature, with each fighter taking big momentum swings, and continuing to plod forward in the fourth and fifth rounds despite being visibly exhausted. Rua in December snapped a two-fight skid when he knocked out James Te Huna in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 33 in Australia.
