From the UG, may still be just bull**** but it sounds pretty solid....
see a couple threads asking if this fight is a sure thing and some people are saying that Hendersons camp is saying no. Well as of 10:30am PDT today, I spoke with Randy Couture at a wrestling clinic and he said he would be cornering Dan on the 9th against Murillo.
This fight is better than any possible GP matchups. The fight alone is worth my PPV money.....
This fight should be for a new weight class belt in Pride. Awesome!!!!!

ITS DONE ITS SIGNED THANK YOU GOD!!
MMAWeekly.com told you a few weeks ago that Pride was working on a Dan Henderson vs Murilo Bustamante match up. Today we can tell you that the fight has been signed by both fighters.
MMAWeekly talked with Dan Henderson late last night and asked how his torn ACL is doing. Henderson said "The knee is doing pretty good. I really didn't want to come back this soon, but Pride really wanted this fight and wanted it in two weeks. I was hoping to wait until February, but oh weel, I really want this fight so I will fight a little sooner than I wanted to."
Henderson continued, "I've wanted this fight for a long time. Busta is a great fighter and I'm looking forward to fighting this guy. Sure I would love more time to prepare for a quality fighter like Murilo, but I'm still confident I can get the win."
MMAWeekly.com can also report that the proposed fight between Heath Herring and Dan Bobish is almost a done deal as well, so this card is simply stacked as Pride delivers another solid card in back to back shows.

Classic wrestler vs. BJJ fight....both guys are very well rounded. DSE does a lot of **** wrong as far as mismatches, but it looks like they got this one right. Should be an exciting match.
