Strikeforce light heavyweight champ Dan Henderson says he’d sooner unify UFC/Strikeforce title rather than drop down to middleweight.
In this interview by MMAInterviews.tv, Henderson talks about his recent win over Fedor Emelianenko, his disinterest in dropping back to 185 lbs to possibly meet Anderson Silva, a possible fight with Mauricioi ‘Shogun’ Rua, and his desire to unify both Zuffa titles by meeting the winner of Jon Jones vs. Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson.
“I think the biggest fight that the UFC would make money on and the fans would want to see, I would think, would be me against the winner of Jones and Rampage. That would be a fight to unify the titles with Strikeforce and UFC, I think that would be a good move. … I’m not opposed to (fighting Shogun) but I think it wouldn’t be a fight that I would be excited about right now. I think maybe if he’s got one more big win on him. I don’t know, it’s not really my place to say but I think business wise for the UFC, it would be the biggest thing for them, to unify the titles.”
