Dan Henderson is no longer contracted by Zuffa according to MMANews.com. There were rumors that he might be fighting Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 105, but that's now off. According to Henderson in one report I saw both sides are talking but nothing has been agreed to yet as far as a new contract. I would hate to see Hendo leave the UFC. What about you guys?

Thoughts?

I'd hate to see that, I like him also.

I know he was wanting another shot at Anderson Silva but I don't that that would happen even he did get a new contract.

I'd take some of that action if it comes to pass. I like Dan but there is no way he beats Silva. Do you recall their first fight?
Roughriders04
yea i do remember the first fight....henderson was winning on all the judges cards before he got caught with that choke.....henderson is the only person to get silva on his back.....silva is great....but i just think it would be different this time around....
Huck
I agree Dan seemed to be getting the better of Silva until he got choked out but Silva has a way of overcoming anything thrown at him. Plus after the way he kicked Forest Griffin's tokus in his last fight I think he's turning it up a notch.

I still want to see Silva vs Machida but they say Silva won't fight him because they're friends.
Roughriders04
yeah he did look great against forest...but if u have noticed in silvas las couple of fights he hasnt wanted to go to the ground....if he wants to box then he should go do that....i think dan will get the contract thing worked out sooner or later and the fight will happen...

Dan is not goin anywhere, he will get his rematch with Silva, but Marquart is probably up next for a title shot. I would like to see Dan and Wvanderly(spelling) Silva fight next.

MMA is MIXED martial arts... you do whatever it takes to win. Plus, with Silva's reach advantage, why do anything else?

Oh man that would stink. Not to many fights I want to see him at in SF sad.gif I believe Silva is Fighting Belfort. Nate Marquardt and Hendo should mix it up to see who is after Belfort.

Anybody hear about the Couture and Coleman at UFC 109 ha-ha thumbdown.gif
