Murilo protests his fight at Pride
BTT press-releaser has just announced in first hand that Murilo Bustamante has just protested his fight against Dan Henderson at Pride. He wants to cancel the fight result. Murilo says Henderson used his head to hit him. "I was fine during the fight and then he hit me with the head and I felt and when I was putting myself together to put Henderson in my guard, the referee ended the fight. Due to the illegal blow and due to the way the referee stopped the fight I just entered a resource to cancel the fight result," revealed the UFC Champion Murilo still from Japan.

I noticed the headbutt when I was reviewing it again yesterday with a "clear" head. It did appear to daze Bustamante, but it was not intentional. I say a rematch is in order, but Busta was losing before the head clash anyway so leave the decision as is.....
I gotta see it again. I must have missed the head butt. ****, I'd love to see a rematch between them.

Wasn't it the knee that finished Busta though? I know Busta goes down from the headbutt and tries to scoot into a guard or something. But then Hendo slams a knee right into his face and follows it up with a flurry. Busta could not defend himself because he was basically out and the ref was forced to jump in.

Henderson has a deadly right hand. Murilo was trying to put Dan on his back which is probably where he is quickest. He just happend to eat a knee on the way in

i thought the ref should of gave it a few more seconds
Either Busta would of got nailed a few more times or he would of pulled guard, which I saw him getting ready to do

Right after this Bustamante goes to pull Henderson down and eats a huge knee
Bustamante tried to close the distance and made the mistake of leading with his head
