Immediately after a knockout win over Hector Lombard at UFC 199 in June, Dan Henderson stood in the Octagon and said he didnt know if hed ever fight again.Later that evening, Michael Bisping won the middleweight title and everything changed.Henderson, 46, will challenge Bisping for the 185-pound championship at UFC 204 this weekend in Manchester. Its a fight that never would have happened were it not for a bit of history between the two that dates back seven years.In 2009, Henderson floored Bisping with a right hand at UFC 100. It was arguably the highlight of Hendersons career, not to mention Bispings most memorable loss. That storyline opened the door for a Henderson title shot -- and one more trip to the Octagon.Win or lose, Henderson has said this will be the last fight of his career. Lets take a closer look at Hendos curtain call. Dont agree with the picks? Let me know on Twitter: @bokamotoESPN.Main eventMichael Bisping (29-7) vs. Dan Henderson (32-14) Middleweight championship Odds: Bisping -245; Henderson +205Its kind of crazy to think about: Bisping, at 37, is still younger than Henderson was the first time they fought.Henderson says constant questions and comments about his age have made him laugh in recent years, but can you really blame anyone for marveling at Dangerous Dans longevity? At 46, hes the oldest active fighter in the UFC.They say power is the last thing to go in a fighter, and boy has that rang true with Hendo. He is still always one right hand away from rewriting everything we think we know about a perceived outcome. And while his strategy to land that right hand has gotten somewhat predictable (knock an opponent off-balance with an inside leg kick, follow with the hammer), its worth noting his three recent finishes came under variations of that.Against Mauricio Shogun Rua?in their rematch, Henderson showed how lethal he can still be coming off a clinch and landing that right. Against an uber-aggressive Tim Boetsch (poor Boetsch, I think he overestimated how far gone Hendos chin was), Henderson landed the right hand as a counter, while in the process of moving backwards. And against Lombard in June, Henderson threw a head kick, followed by a clubbing back elbow he later said hed never practiced before.So, lets not completely relegate his chances of dethroning Bisping to that patented inside leg kick, overhand right combo -- but to be fair, yes, of course, were likely to see a lot of it.And right now, its difficult to bet on Bisping falling victim to that again. Possible? Certainly, yes. But were talking about a version of Bisping whose feints and footwork have navigated the treacherous waters of Anderson Silva counters and Luke Rockhold liver kicks in 2016. This is a very confident Bisping, one who has improved his wrestling since the first Henderson fight -- and is still, dont forget, nine years younger.Age and experience played to Hendersons favor at UFC 100. That was a big spot for Bisping at the time, fighting a former Pride champion on the biggest card in UFC history. He wasnt nearly as accustomed to the bright lights as Henderson was, and it showed. Bisping has talked exhaustively about being overtrained for that fight. He had signs of fatigue after the first round, which is highly uncharacteristic of him.This time, age is firmly in Bispings corner. Hendersons chin has been questionable for awhile. Even though he beat Lombard in his most recent fight rather spectacularly, he was also dropped in the first round, again. Although few expect this fight to go the distance, a five-round fight absolutely favors Bisping. Speed favors Bisping. And even the clinch, where Henderson holds a world class Greco-Roman background, Bisping wont be a fish out of water like he was in 2009 when they first met.Henderson generates a lot of power in small opportunities. Its a loaded gun at all times. Bispings defense will be heavily focused on that right hand though, and his feints have the ability to remove an opponents weapons by virtually not even giving them the opportunity to comfortably throw them. He will not be an easy target for the H Bomb, Hendersons vaunted right hand.Prediction: If Henderson wins, it will be pandemonium -- and perfectly in line with the upset-filled 2016 weve witnessed. But ... BISPING VIA THIRD-ROUND TKO.Featured undercard boutsVitor Belfort (25-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (39-6-2), middleweights Belforts last performance against Ronaldo Souza in May left a lot to be desired. Hell have to look much, much better to have a shot against the well-rounded Mousasi. Prediction: Mousasi via TKO, round two.Jimi Manuwa (15-2) vs. Ovince Saint Preux (19-8), light heavyweights? Saint Preux has looked like a competent grappler and a complete novice, depending on whom hes fighting. It might be on his side in this matchup. Prediction: St. Preux submission.

MIAMI -- The second half of the annual Miami Heat scrimmage was delayed a bit Monday night, because Hassan Whiteside was too busy taking selfies with fans on the court.No one complained, either.The scrimmage serves two purposes for the Heat -- its a chance for fans to see what amounts to a glorified practice, and more importantly it gives the team a chance to pay tribute to breast cancer survivors, who come down to the court at halftime for plenty of hugs and photos.This shines an incredible light and we love it, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. It really is a touching moment.About 30 women, most of them somehow adorned in breast-cancer-awareness-color of pink, took part in the halftime ceremony. In the stands, hundreds of others wore pink and the Heat uniforms for the night were all adorned with pink names and numbers.A few players, including Tyler Johnson and Udonis Haslem, even donned pink sneakers.Its very special for me, obviously, said Haslem, the Heat captain. My mom passed away from cancer. ... Im not a man of pink, but I will wear pink tonightt to show support.ddddddddddddTicket proceeds benefitted the Miami Cancer Institute.Its something that we all pretty much have been touched by, Heat forward Justise Winslow said. Whether its a friend, a team mom, an aunt, a cousin, anything, weve all been affected by it. We can all see their hearts out there, and so we try to give them a little bit of our time and our heart.The night was also an unofficial introduction to a very new team.Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, Luol Deng, Gerald Green and Amare Stoudemire are among the biggest departures from last season, and Chris Bosh -- who failed his physical and wasnt cleared to resume basketball activities after his last two seasons ended early because of blood clots -- is no longer in the teams plans but remains under contract.We have an exciting group for you, Spoelstra told the crowd. Its going to be a lot of fun.The Heat play host to Brooklyn in a preseason game on Tuesday night. ' ' '
